My son and I have been planning a weekend get-away for Father's Day for a few weeks. Knowing that my ex attempts to arrange at least one weekend a month to see our son, I invited her to join us. The two birds with one stone philosophy. It gives me an opportunity as well to see if we are progressing any.
I warned her it was a single room with two beds. She responded, "that's ok with me, we have been together over 13 years." I sent her directions today and what she should bring to wear but that is all she knows. She said she found the mystery of the trip exciting and was looking forward to the "adventure".
I have continued the 180s that I couldn't really do when trying to save the marriage. I have been flirtatious, flattering, etc....just little pieces here and there to prevent being overbearing. It seems to be having a positive effect.
