[/quote]But I do find it interesting how he continues to text about the egg hunt even after your daughter told him she would need to check w/you. It's almost like he's a kid and is pushing his sibling to get "mom" to say yes. Quite interesting. [quote]
Snodderly, I apologize for not responding to this sooner. I really appreciate that you can see this. I thought I was nutts for years! This is something he's done through out marriage and ALOT during separation.
All I can say is it's like he gets the idea HE wants to do something, so instead of just asking, he has to get the kids on his side or get them pumped up about something, then drop it on me, so I will feel guilty if I don't say Yes.
This is where I feel he's controlling. Make it look like it's all in innocence, but the way he goes about it seems like so much trouble.
This is why I feel he manipulates and/or orchestrates certain scenarios, whether it be in a negative way or positive.
There have been hundreds of sitches where he's done this type of thing before, just between he and myself. Last Summer he did the same thing in regards to D12 seein the last Harry Potter movie on opening night. Lol...now I remember there was spew in involved in that one too! He was upset that I had forgotten he and D12 had talked about seeing the movie opening night 3 months prior, and made plans with D12 to go together. D12 said " I don't see what the big deal is with Dad and me having to see it opening night".
I truly am approaching exhaustion with this....and this is so good because dropping that rope, detatching, and moving on is SO MUCH EASIER when you get to this point.
