You have actually clarified things, or at least reinforced what I have been feeling lately. I had been up in the air about Christmas, leaning toward not spending it together. I know people say to do it for the kids, but I don't plan on being single forever.
And since nothing I have been doing seems to have any affect, I think it is time to really work at letting her go. Hard to do when I see her so often.
We have separate plans for Christmas, and it is hard. However, faking it for the kids is not a good idea. They see right through things.
