Ugh I hate this unfriendly sh!t. I think you handled it well.
Time to pull back a little as you said and let her have her space. Isn't this game fun?
Have a great time with the kiddos at the beach and hopefully she will hear about it from them and feel regretful that she didn't join.
It's funny because my WAH has been offering to help me move, to help me with things in the future and I have been considering it. However it would leave me tied to him, and I am anxious about that. Reading this text exchange makes me see that needing to be tied to him can be an opportunity for communication and spending time together, but can also be a source of rollercoaster annoyances.
Enjoy the beach pilot, I hope the weather will be fantastic! Hugs, Lisa
