Okay, so D12 has a choral concert at her school tonight. It's my night with the girls, and they requested going out to eat at this casual Mexican place by the school afterward. H will be at the concert. I'm debating asking him if he'd like to join us.

On the one hand, I haven't had much of anything to say to him since 2/4 when I found out his office was gossiping about him and OW who supposedly quit her job to avoid a conflict of interest. He denies this but said he might ask her out. I think they're together but whatever. So I've been so furious about it that I have only communicated regarding necessities such as kids' schedules, the impending separation agreement or finances.

On the other hand, I want this man to wake up and return to his family. But then, there I am NOT keeping my expectations at zero. So if I invite him to dinner, is that pursuing or being neighborly? I feel like it's a fine line showing them that LBS and family are worth returning to but at the same time not pursuing. Advice?
