I also find it odd that after six years and buying a home together, she refers to their relationship as "dating" - it seems like they should be way past the dating stage!

It is odd, but then, they've never spent a weekend together, by themselves. It's not as if he's got to work on weekends. He's deliberately leaving her to spend his time someplace else. I'm finding it hard to articulate why this situation seems so off to me. Maybe it's just that it's hard to build a life with someone who voluntarily abandons you during the weekends--the time when most of us have the most time to bond with someone else.

Six years, though? Seriously, why would she waste her time like that?
