Question......how many times do you have to be turned down after inviting should you finally stop? Especially when it hurts you everytime they say "no, I don't think it would be a good idea as it might give false impressions"
it depends on how you are asking.no pressure non threatening and be very casual. no guilt trips if they say no. leave things open ended and leave room for them to change their minds.it doesnlt matter what happens in the end for now the number one priority is the children and to make them feel loved and secure by both parents.swallowing ones pride and stopping the one upmanship is important too.when i felt the freedom to say no without being made to feel like an ass then i began saying yes.
Thought this provided good insight. It also follows the rule that we should treat the WAS like we would a neighbor or a friend.
