I went and looked back and I asked about family dinners in response to his saying he didn't know how to make things less awkward. I said the family dinners were the most awkward.

I didn't spell it out, but what I meant was... The one thing he and I always seem to be waiting on is the two minutes of quiet when the kids go off to do their thing and we can be alone together. So when he only invites me to family dinners, then I've basically been invited on an outing that we're both waiting to be over so we can get to the two minutes of alone at the end. I hate that.

He probably doesn't miss me at all and I pushed too hard and I'm just delaying the inevitable. He's probably the one percent of people who really does just want to be alone and I'm just somebody he knows and has to get along with. He doesn't like any of the stuff I like and he's tired of living with someone who gets excited too easily and he's all sophisticated and highly traveled and I've never been anywhere.

And why would I want to be with someone who doesn't find simple things interesting and who traveled the world but never invited me to join him?
