I would wait a bit to respond and simply say "Thanks for reminding me about your cruise plans. I've already made arrangements for the children to visit with their grandparents that weekend. Have a great day and have a blast on your cruise!"
Ignore her hostile respones (as you have been doing). She is the one that lives with all that anger and it only makes her life more difficult. Her choice, just done indulge with her (I know you are not!).
IMO a big part of her anger is the changes you have made and the fact that you are out and about doing things. Tough. Its all for you. She can embrace it, be indifferent or be nasty. She is choosing nasty and really, it only adds tremendous weight to her emotional well being and its all by her own choosing.
Outstanding! I'll do just that! Thanks, CityGirl!
I agree wholeheartedly with everything in your post! Thanks!
ps - how ya' been? Hangin' in there?
