To me, being in that room after dinner on Friday night is just looking to stir up trouble.
Our house has 4 bedrooms and a living room/kitchen/breakfast room all one area. My W taking up the living room relegates my kids and me to a bedroom.
Im glad that the DB coach helped you to redirect your thoughts and energies.
I hope that you can see now why your actions with regards to the living room on Fridays is not helping you in any way. There are plenty of places in the world for you and your son to be, but you are insistent on choosing the ONLY place where W is AND you are making life difficult for her.
I know if I had a roommate I didnt particularly care for, I wouldnt squat where they are going to sleep and insist to spend time there. Especially not if i was trying to start a new relationship with them.
