Thanks for the response. For me she had told me I was controlling initially, but when we talked about it further we found out it was just poor communication. Then it became a different excuse.
So for my part, I've been GAL and trying to give her space. She spends most weekends together with me and the kids and we get along great. But the minute she says goodbye, she becomes very uncomfortable and says a hurried 'goodbye' without looking at me in the eye or hug or anything.
Right now we're in the 'friend' zone and I feel she really is there for just the girls and I want her to miss 'me' just a little bit. Should I go dim and reduce the time spent together more? I know she'll miss the kids alot, but she has to realize that she can't have them without me.
