All right. Maybe I took a step in the right direction today with this situation. First of all, it will be easier if I give this woman a name. I'll call her Marjorie.
Tuesday Marjorie said, "Hey, I'm going to grab some breakfast. Want to come?" and I said yes. It was a grab and go, so it wasn't like we sat together. But--yes, I did accept her invite.
Today I got home from work, and among other chit-chat, my wife asked, "Did you take a coffee break with Marjorie today?"
"No. Why do you ask?" She's never asked that kind of question before, that I can remember.
"Because you needed to borrow some money this morning for your coffee break." Usually I take a snack from home.
"Oh. No. I meant to run over there and get something but I never got the chance." Which is totally true. And--this is the important part--I thought about asking Marjorie and decided not to ask her.
