<BR>My W recently bought tickets to a concert coming up next week. She bought two tickets: One for herself, and one for my daughter. This was to be a reward for straight A's on my daughter's report card. This was done without my knowledge...I found out after the fact. That's not really a problem to me, although it would be nice to know about my daughter's rewards and activities and such. I also know that this concert is one that my wife wants to go to. She likes the group's music.<P>Here's the problem: My daughter didn't get straight A's. What to do with the ticket she would have used? On the phone just minutes ago, I told her that I'd like to go to the concert with her. She replied that she'd rather have the money. She's going to try to sell the tickets.<P>How can I look at this chain of events in some way and not take it as a rejection? This isn't an isolated instance. She has said and done things like this before. It's getting old. Please help me deal with this in a way that doesn't turn into an LB.<P>Slightly Sane<P>

c2bsane:<P>Drop it. It is a rejection. You could offer to "buy" the tickets from her and take her. But there's no way that you can "push" anymore without starting to lovebust on your own. Your wife has done this to you already---and it didn't feel good. Don't escalate the problem.<P>
