Addendum

Thank you dear readers for your speedy replies. Sitting here at work, unable to concentrate at all because I'm focused on this dilemma, I just noted something quite odd. Yes, for the first time ever, I'm really annoyed with EE. I'm frustrated that I've been put in the position of needing to say something. Much like those of you who have sent comments, I have never really needed to have this conversation in prior relationships. Yes, the talk about "where we are going" or "what we are" always evolved naturally. I'm not saying it was always comfortable, but it always occurred...and it always occurred WAY before the nearly 1/2 year mark. So, I sit here, getting increasingly annoyed, which is not going to help matters. Hmmmm.
