Well I just forced myself to not do something that I really wanted to; I did not invite my W to Easter dinner. I really wanted to, but I didn't.
The W came over and we hid eggs for the kids while they showered. Played with them for a little, had lunch out and then went to Wal-Mart so she could buy some stuff.
The whole time I thought about how nice it would be to have her at Easter, but I kept with my game plan and did not invite. My reasoning being that she needs to miss me, amongst other things.
When at Wal-Mart she did mention that I should bring my mom some flowers, "women like flowers." Ah nice dig. But I thought here was a perfect time to show that I value her and her feelings, opinions, etc and I grabbed a bouquet of tulips.
She left with the kids, I'm a little sad, but off to dinner with my family.
Hope everyone's Easter is as happy as possible.
I respect your willpower! I'm trying to do the same thing. Trying to distance myself so that maybe she can see that she misses me. but I dont want her to think I don't want to be around her anymore. Tough catch 22 isn't it?
Excellent decision on picking up flowers on her suggestion. Shows you respect her opinion. Small things like that go far in the mind of a woman, at least in my experience.
