Well Stuck if your W is still not inviting you alone to things she does with the kids, and it is all pretty much one-sided....I think you should cut the invitations off. (and all at once, so she will get the right message.) If she says anything, just tell her that it is a two way street and you get tired of the one-way signs.
As I've told other LBH's, I think the WAW needs to feel loss or shock as the results of their decisions, and your W has had it pretty nice. You've really been NICE to her since the split and I'm thinking she hasn't had to suffer enough consequences of her decisions since she gets all this family togetherness. You'll have to admit that to be a S couple...this is the most together family!

I keep having to think of her as a child who needs to be disciplined when she gets too 'out of line'. But be loving at the same time.
Yes, I was talking about that on aNother thread tonight. I'm sure it isn't a pleasant job, but women will respond to a strong, firm spoken man....as long as he's not abusive, insulting, etc. And I know you aren't those things.
Hope your D gets better soon. When I first caught the words about "her going to the doctor"....I got my hopes that your W was talking about findly giving in to see a specialist. Oh well......maybe next time.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
