The fact is that Gretchen & Jeff aren't married, and Gretchen isn't working. If Jeff (lets assume we are talking as if he hasn't died) passed and didn't leave Gretchen as the beneficiary, then she'd be SOL. How would she pay the mortgage on that house they have? How would she make any payments on anything? Where would she live? Vicki was coming at it from a more business mindset, I mean she is in the insurance business, I bet she has seen this often.

Lynn comes at it from, experiencing it with her husband. But her husband LIVED, Gretchen's didn't. Plus Lynn was married at the time her husband got cancer, she doesn't understand Gretchen's position.

It's called being realistic, not being a golddigger.


i'm over Gretchen, her dumb "sex" comments have irked me. First she said that her & Jeff have sex while he is in the hospital....then at the dinner party she made a comment about how she hasn't had sex in 8 months. Come on Gretch, which is it? Get it together.

True, Jeana and Vicki were being realistic and it is important for Gretchen to keep those things in mind. I just thought they were being pushy, it seemed like Gretchen was uncomfortable with the subject and they just kept talking about it. It did cross my mind that Vicky knows her stuff because she's in the insurance field.. I just think maybe Gretchen should sit down with a financial planner or something if this really concerns her.

It would be really unfortunate for Gretchen to be left out of Jeff's will, but how do we know that would make her broke? Maybe she comes from money or something like that and just hasn't shared that information. She's had a career in real estate so she wouldn't be entering the job market totally clueless.

I'm confused about the sex comments though too! I can't imagine they'd be hooking up in the hospital though, maybe she was joking about that?

I thought they were being more "pushy" about Gretchen getting a job, then finding how how much Jeff was leaving her. I know Gretchen wouldn't go into the job market clueless, but in this economic time it is a lot harder to get a job....especially a real estate job (and it is even tougher in California).

I don't know why she would make those sex comments though. "When you want it, you'll figure out a way to do it" doesn't really sound like a joke, and it if is, then its a baaaaaad joke. She just seems really desperate to me.
