Can you go and not be uncomfortable?

Do you think others will be?


I don't want to go.
The kids don't need me there.
I believe we would both be uncomfortable there.
So I'm not going.

After yesterday, where she avoided me on our anniversary, she obviously still has issues.

I know what she originally planned - that we'd end up being "friendly" roommates and parenting until whenever - and I would find my own OP, and the four of us would all get along swimmingly.

But it hasn't turned out that way. She knows I disapprove of her carrying on and the D which she forced down my throat. She probably believes that deep down I resent and judge her (and sometimes it feels like I do) But I recognize that those are just emotions. So she cannot possibly be comfortable.

She's still messed up IMO, but masks it fairly well. We're civil in the house and around the kids. But I'm a free man now. I can do whatever the hell I want. She can take the kids to Louisiana, while I enjoy some Pickle time.
