FIL lives 2hrs away at the moment. My W does not talk to him often and neither do I. I could do a 180 and call him once a week but now would be a terrible tim to start because my wife will see it as. Way to win her over and it would set us back.
Yes, she would see that I think. Its a shame you hadn't invested more in that relationship earlier too.. I guess you see that as a mistake now too... Women usually take a lot of pride in their fathers and building a close relationship to them on your part is a key expression of your commitment to yer. I am sure you get that now... don't mean to give you I told ya so's.
Onward and upward right? What you could do is just invite him to call you or to visit anytime he wants. That way you have at least opened the door and if he rejects it then its on him. I assume he has your cell phone number at least?
I don't think your wife will be offended if you open the door, but pursuing him would yes be pursuing her...
