I initially said to her about splitting time with the kids, she broke down in hysterics, lots of crying and stomping as she said she wanted us to be family. I relented and said ok. But in hindsight your right, I'm being used for her own needs, that is annoying because she said its for the kids and really it is the cake eating
We are still living together at the moment so we watch to together when kids are in bed, that is when she's not out with friends which is what's started to happen.
But when sat together she initiated the conversation rather than me, and she suggests watching films together. She even had her feet touching my leg yesterday, I didn't react or think anything of it really but felt it was her trying to lure me into saying something.
I've also noticed that she's making an overboard effort with how she looks, the other days she was wearing skimpy shorts and a little top and let walking past me while is was sat down and picking things off the floor in front of me, it sounds ridiculous but again I felt as though she was luring me into saying or doing something.
Tonight she's gone to the movies and cocktails with some girlfriends, again she has got so dressed up to go out midweek. I told My dad and he said it was for my benefit and she was "peacocking" to try and get a rise out of me.
They are being distant, but I've found out that my W has said to her brothers to be ok with me as I didn't have any family near to where I live and that I wasn't a bad guy and didn't want me left out and wanted me to be part of the family still.
I agree about it looks like pursuing behaviour attending the bbq, plus the stuff she is putting on Facebook and everyone knowing it will be super awkward
