What would you do in this situation?
The wife and I are heading to Cancun next Wednesday for a week. A younger sister from the hall will be house sitting for us during our trip. She is from a family that we used to do things with quite a bit. This evening, my wife asked me if I had any plans to work this weekend or go shopping or whatever. Since I moderately sprained my ankle a week ago, I have been just lounging around the house trying to take it easy(I gotta get this damn ankle better by our trip!).
My wife wants me to leave the house for a little while so she can give the sister a run through of what to do around the house, how to work the remotes, etc. I told her I had no plans to go anywhere. So then she asked if I could just leave and go shopping or do something while the sister comes over. I sarcastically said with a smile, "I won't bite her." She just looked at me, turned around and left the house to go to the gym making sure she slammed the door loud enough for me to notice her angry attitude.
Before I heard that door slam, I was plannng to comply with her request. But now, I am pissed. On the one hand, this is MY house and no one can tell me to leave simply because some witness may feel uncomfortable being in my presence. But on the other hand, she is coming over to keep an eye on things and to watch our cat(he's a full-time job as it is).
I don't know. If I stick to my stubborn ways, that will surely keep my wife in a wonderful mood during our trip. And if I leave, she will be fine. But then there is that little ex-jw part of me that wants to get some satisfaction of making a jw feel uncomfortable being around me, in my own house.
