Navy, I don't know if this will fit your sitch. But, if my W and I were still in the same house, I would say the following: "W, I do realize that in the past, I have not done a very good job of listening to your wants and needs. I want to do something very special for you on this day. So, what I would like to give you is the gift of myself in most unselfish way possible. I have something special planned for us, but I planned it alone. If there is something you would like to do, I would love to hear your ideas. And, I will make it happen. Or, if you would like, I can go forward with my own plan. But, the first part of my gift is that you can choose. I want you to enjoy the day and my gift. I can think of no better way to give you something you will enjoy than by letting you do whatever you will be comfortable with."

Remember, her comfort level will govern the day. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

BITS never walk alone!

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find,
That it wasn't really wasted time...
