At least be honest with yourself. You don't want to split the bills because it is one of the last things you and your W share and you are fearful to move forward.
This is true. I can't deny it.
Yep was just going to post this...I'm pretty sure you're a lot like I was, trying to figure out any way you can to have contact with W, since you think that's the ONLY way you can work things out...It doesn't work and it's obvious, trust me.
I think you're missing a HUGH issue here...There is nothing wrong with asking W to Christmas Eve dinner as long as you're ok with her saying no, that's what detachment is about...If it's going to hurt you for her to say no (I think it will) then don't ask, if not ask.
