I don't really think it's a reminder of what he is missing. This is a very difficult and depressing journey for the WAS too.
My h was always so depressed at this time of year. I invited him every Christmas and he never came. I also called him on Christmas day every year and wished him a Happy Holiday! He never answered nor did he recipricate.
I always have tried to take the higher road. Even though what my h was doing was not right, in my heart I wanted to treat him otherwise. I wanted him to know that I still cared and was thinking of him.
Just some thoughts!
