Wish he would give me the tickets to bring a friend since he is already going one night with a friend
Ask him and explain why -- that would be my suggestion. Just do so in a friendly and compassionate manner (he is a delicate flower right now! ). Hopefully he can respect this decision. I understand though that this might cause you to not go to the concert, or go with H and have it be uncomfortable and awkward. It's obviously your call, but do look at all of the options.
Hey, question for you (hijacking thread for a minute). My W has been sick for 3 weeks or so and has mentioned this to me a few times over the last week. So yesterday she picked up the kids for her days, and I had the kids give her a pink carnation and a card (she didn't read it at the house though) and tell her "Sorry you've been sick Mommy. Hope you're feeling better" (they're 5 and 3). The card is a Get Well/Sympathy card and I helped the kids write in "Love S5" and "Love D3". My D also drew a heart (with my help -- her idea though to draw it) and colored a bunch in it. When they gave it to her she gave them hugs and told them thank you, and that they would put it in water when they get home.
From a WAW's point of view, was this a bad idea? I haven't given her anything at all since Mother's Day, and have given her a ton of space since then too. I just wanted her to know that I was concerned about her, and that I was teaching the kids to be concerned about their mom. I didn't say anything about it or expect anything in return, and plan on backing off immediately again for a while. I just felt like it was a nice thing to do to show her I still cared about her well being, together or not. Bad idea?
Thanks waw -- us LBS's are so inquisitive and lost, aren't we?
