Dropped S off at XW's place after spending Friday evening and Saturday. We had fun planning his birthday party, and playing a video dance game. I have a crazy schedule right now. Gone next week for work, so that was it until next Sunday.
Looking back on things tonight. One of the suggestions my DB coach gave was to occasionally invite XW along on things S and I were doing to give her a chance to interact as a friend. That was a couple months ago now and I've noticed I've tried three separate times. Each one was casual and something we were doing anyway: going to the zoo, having an Easter brunch and scavenger hunt, and, next week, his birthday party. Each one she declined and given no indication she was interested. I am trying to be patient, but I don't know what to do to encourage friendship, or even friendly co-parenting. I considered ours a close friendship when we were married. I didn't think she'd be that opposed to us interacting.
Had a friendly conversation when I dropped S off this evening. We compared work stories and headaches. Talked about summer trips. Turns out we are both going to a concert this weekend. I hadn't thought I should go with them, but it was kind of awkward to admit that I would be there, and for her just to say "uh-huh."
I have been getting very clear signals that she doesn't want to spend any social time with me all spring. I just haven't wanted to admit that I saw them. I was hoping I would see some softening of that.
So, I'm pretty depressed tonight.
