She said she didn't want to make me mad. Yeah, right. That's never stopped her before.
But it did stop her today. Thank her for being considerate.

I recovered quickly and made sure I had a good time and so did the kids... I do wonder why she even came.
Maybe she wanted to have a good time with YOU and her kids, silly! So she wasn't in the mood for it. There's a lot of hurt that happens when we talk divorce and separation. Shouldn't we expect a bit of abrasiveness? Wouldn't you say that you are abrasive at times? Aren't we all? Try your best to forgive and move on so the two of you can be deeply happy again.
You could ask yourself if you wanted her there. I thought you said you loved her and wanted the marriage to work? If I understood correctly, then you need to reach out on a limb at times to make her feel welcome.
