NQ, I LOVE when they slip up like that. Hon or Darling and then catch themselves like it is wrong! It cracks me up!

I'm glad your S had a choice in his feelings for OW. I hope mine never has to see that day.

It certainly made me smile when he apologised for it. It's the same with him suddenly not wanting to spend time in the house - almost like he can't hide his true feelings when he's there so he'd rather not be there. Even yesterday when he was taking our son to his place for the day, he seemed reluctant to leave, kept finding an excuse to stay for a few minutes longer.

H is one of those people who rarely, if ever, admits that he's made a mistake. And if he does, it's never an out and out admission of it, more a round about "maybe I was wrong" kind of admission. He's more likely to be stubborn and live unhappy for quite a while before he finally gives in and admits any mistake.

Mine's on the cusp of Aquarius and Pisces. What's his excuse? LOL. Other than that he's always been pig-headed and stubborn - and that's what MIL has said in the past LOL.

I'm with TTD - I'm also a Gemini. I do sometimes have a split personality.

Those of you whose H's are able to bribe their kid into coming over for a video game... would you feel happier if H didn't try? Or would you feel happier if H had the kid over to sit around and be bored and complain there's nothing good to do at the new place and they'd rather be home with mom? Although it looks pathetic, it's at least something.

Just, hopefully, so you can see something to compare it to, my H tried bribing my kids to go out for movies, but after a while I guess got tired of doing that so he doesn't ever ask them to do anything anymore. They have never been to his place, which is one bedroom in his coworker's home, they would not be welcome there and there's nowhere for them to be there. When he does see them he criticizes them or withdraws to his iPad. I get no satisfaction from the lack of relationship there, because I know it is very bad for these kids.

If my H could interest my kids with a videogame I would be ecstatic. I didn't feel like this a long time ago. I felt like he damaged the relationship himself, so tough luck that his boys don't want to be with him. My hard feelings have healed, mostly, usually, so I am more concerned now about the relationship between H and the kids, since the one between him and me is dead.

Hi Adinva, thanks for dropping by my thread.

I don't have a problem with H playing video games with our son or using it as incentive to spend time with him - my H is living in the spare room of an older couple he knows through work. What I do have a problem with is H using video games as incentive for S13 meet OW and her kid, especially when we have an agreement, albeit verbal, that there will be no bribery by either of us to influence our son's decision in that respect.

H spent a lot of his time when he lived here playing video games so it's what we're all used to. It's a change for him to actually include our son when playing the games - he used to play FB games on his own whereas now he'll take it in turns playing combat games with our son and will give him tips when he's playing. It's actually nice to see him spending that time with our son for a change.
