A new thread, a new outlook.....

[Can it work]

I've just had an idea which may or may not work but I would like some opinions on it in any case.

My W's birthday is on the 21st June this year which just happens to be Father's day as well. I was thinking of asking her to accompany me and Wee Man to lunch. It's going to work out that it's my weekend with him so I thought it could be a good opportunity to try and get us to do something as a family.

I'm a bit reluctant to ask because I'm fairly sure she'll say no. Since her birthday is on a Sunday and she doesn't have Wee Man that weekend I imagine she'll be going out partying with her friends on the Saturday night. That will make it unlikely she'll be feeling up to doing anything the next day.

Ever since we shared a take away last time at my suggestion I've been waiting for her to ask me to do something with her but that's not happened yet. Should I just let it go or make the suggestion and ask her? It may seem like pursuing behaviour and I do want to avoid that but nothing seems to be progressing at all in my sitch.

Any views on this would be most appreciated.
