Bigger things?

I'm happy to cook, but I can also teach you.

Good.

I want to. I'm just not sure I want to put it in the contract, unless there are safeguards or whatever you want in there.

That seems like a reasonable provision, I guess. I just don't love the idea of it being some contractual obligation.

[Then, a minute later, after deciding that 1) that's way too vulnerable sounding and 2) he's an idiot.]

Nevermind. Forget I said anything. It's fine.

[The response is enough to cue him in that she's taken it the wrong way, so he tries to clarify, without saying too much.]

If I wanted to have sex with someone who's obligated to do so, then I'd pay a whore, which you are not. What I *want* is for you to come to my bed because you want to be there, because you want *me*, not because of some contract or quota. I may accept the role, but I don't actually love being seen as a necessary evil.

If you want it in the contract, to make it clear or whatever, then fine. But if you need me, or want me, for that, you don't need a contract to make sure you don't get hauled off to wherever.

You never have to worry if want to or not. If you want to, I'm in.

[And now he feels like he said too much.]

Not sure it does, really.

[He'd figured someone must be, since they hadn't been meeting their quotas together, but knowing it was some specific guy, with a name, who was her best friend still feels like a bit of a kick in the gut. He's an idiot, as always. Overall, he's glad she told him via text, though It gives him a chance to process, to not let her see his initial reaction, to respond after he gets a chance to write and rewrite his response a few times.]

I see. Thanks for telling me.

[He wonders why she even wants to know, what it matters. He doubts it would make any difference, so why subject himself to, at best, her pity?]

Of course. Why wouldn't I be?

[and for all those reasons, he doesn't want her to feel sorry for him, but she's already made it part of the contract that she gets to see her friends, so he sincerely doubts his being upset would change anything. So, why risk it?]

Nothing to apologize for.

I'll see an attorney first thing and let you know when it's ready. You can move in whenever you want.
