I'd like to clarify that W does not want to do anything "family" related - as in her, our son and I for about the past month. maybe she used to because she felt sorry for the whining mess that was the old me. now that i act like i don't even notice her in a room, maybe she is starting to wonder ? Alas, she is doing her own thing and I am doing mine.
Buster,
Here is a perfect opportunity for you to practice the "direct approach" I wrote about above, and stop the innuendo and hints. Simply say to your wife "No matter what happens with the two of us, I think it's important for us to be a family, whether that's as husband and wife, or ex-husband and -wife, co-parenting successfully. To that end, I'd like for us to regularly schedule some things we do with our son. There's a church picnic coming up a week from Sunday that I think he would enjoy; are you busy?"
