I think a lot of it depends on the nature of your break-up with Beth.  It also
depends a lot on Anna's feelings toward Beth.  Is Anna jealous of Beth or
maybe even a little intimidated by her?  I don't think there's anything
inherently wrong with what Beth suggests.  I do, however, think you should be
conscious and considerate of how Anna feels about it.  What do YOU want to do?
