So, Make plans for Easter for yourself and stop waiting for your w or her family to plan your holidays. She has the kids, you don't. Your sitch is, evidently, NOT a sitch that will include you on her days. If they change their mind at the last minute and invite you for the kids' sake and you go, it's weird - b/c you actually don't like being around them, and they don't like being around you, yet it's what you are praying will happen.
If you are still waiting for this pattern of theirs to change, then you're in the same place you were in 2 Easter's ago. Tell me you're not, please.
Easter is about change, birth and re-birth, growth, resurrection, etc. I know you want it to be your M that gets resurrected, but what if YOU are instead, what if you are "re-born"-emotionally and mentally and as a partner?
What if you stopped thinking you need your wife for happiness, and instead, you keep up the GAL activities, and do some serious personal growth work that is internal, and just learn, finally, how to be a happy man who lives well? I'm not a shrink, but I think it starts with you believing at some level, that you deserve to be happy. Do you know what I'm talking about? j-
