1. As maynard has pointed out, you are NOT inviting father to dinner to IMPRESS your wife... you need to STOP looking for anything positive right now, its going to make you ANXIIOUS and your wife will feed off that... just DO IT.
2. Do NOT invite him to your HOME, take him to a neutral location where your wife cannot interfere. Do this with everyone.. you do NOT want your wife interfering...
3. Do NOT ask your wife what she wants for dinner or if she wants a dinner. YOu simply prepare it for her, or buy it and LEAVE it on the table... do NOT pursue. ASKING her if she WANTS dinner is PURSUIT... just buying one and leaving it there is NOT. It's just courtesy, she WILL sense the difference.
4. Do NOT invite your wife to the darn movies.. that is PURSUIT. You can rent a film and watch it, if she JOINS you that's great, but do NOT INVITE her ANYWHERE.. THAT is PURSUIT. You want to look like an ADULT here, not a love struck teenager.
You are doing good, keep monitoring her actitivty with OM, I don't think its over yet... that was tooooooo easy.
