Hi Pax, I agree with others, in that if you would like to see your pup, I would calmly include those arrangements into the current process.
I guess the only longer term downside of this is that seeing pup would mean seeing your H. So, have a think about whether this will work for you going forwards. In my sitch, it has been beneficial not to see XH at all and I count my blessings for that...
Hope you're having a lovely weekend :)xx
