Ask Amy: A woman with wheels wants to pay for travel
Dear Amy: I have traveled to meet a wonderful man that I am really anxious to get to know better. I paid for the first trip to visit him.
He sent me a check for the upcoming second trip to visit him.
I am so excited to see him on this next trip, but I’m hesitant to cash the check.
I am leaning toward not cashing the check and just paying for this second trip on my own.
The check is from his and his wife's joint account, which they still share.
I am a very independent woman. I work hard and have been a very private person since my divorce 18 years ago.
I have no regrets in life, but feel if I cash this check, I will have one.
I have no drama in my life. I worry that this ex will make drama.
I do not need her in my business.
How can I express myself and return this check on my next visit?
