We often watch TV together. She does not necessarily ask, it just happens. A few times she has asked me if I would like to watch a movie.
I have been using this forum as a journal for the most part.
I have received a a lot of advice (much appreciated). I have been following the advice of the DB coach and that is to act as if she were my sister. Be kind and courteous as if she were my sister rather than my W.
What I do know at this point, is my W has great respect for her father and I heard her say that his GF should be "proud to have someone like you." I have thought about this and determine what about her fathers personality toward his GF can I learn from. Most of it her father being very loving and caring but I do not have that pleasure at this point.
Something my W said that got to me last night...FIL GF is now speaking more clearly and can be understood. FIL tells GF ILY and she responds. We leave and as we are walking ny W says "I am so happy she can talk and be understood and is now able to say ILY back." And here we are not saying ILY by choice.
Spending time with the father ( especially if he endorses you ) could be a good idea. Its definately a good example...
