He has been apologising to my youngest son for everything EXCEPT WHAT HE DID. So apology for turning up with OW in tow, apology for not giving younger dil a sweater he buoght for youngest son which he didn't like and she did etc etc. Emails often sent at weird times of the night
He has invited them down to stay with him and OW2 for a week this summer - this has morphed from the offer of an apartment with no strings to a family holiday
OW2 very much in the picture - when she retires next year they are gong to spend more time in the apartment my xh has near to where the kids live. My younger dil wanted to say WHY? We aren't going to hang out with you.
He doesn't get it. Wants the back door entry to a relationship with his kids, wants the r with OW2, wants to be my friend.
I have heard nothing from him in over a week, which is good.
What is going on - apparently r with OW2 is rock solid, but he is desperate to reconnect with his children. Is it because he is now settled and through his crisis?
In which case why can't he apologise for the hurt and pain he caused them? He is causing his kids so much stress by all of this behaviour.
I just want him to go away and not bother us and have a nice life with OW. But no, he wants it all, typical MLCer.
If I sound frustrated it is because I have spent the afternoon with my younger dil who does not want to go on this jaunt - she finds OW2 the most boring person on the planet, and my xh a very strange man. Why she is being expected to take time out of her vacation to visit them is beyond her. My youngest son is studying for his bar exams and is stressed out and doesn't want a confrontation. This man who used to be a loving father is now an ace manipulative bastard.
Is it possible he is having a second crisis with new OW? Without resolving the first
