Awkward Situation Got Much Worse (part 4 )

[Tate]

Yes, that is exactly what my coach advised...to have my wife attend Christmas gatherings but steer clear of my BIL. The coaches see it as time as a family.

I think the coaches, like me, are tending to err on the side of caution. My W is at the brink of following through with the divorce, and if the coaches see it the same as me, if she does, there is no chance of recovery. The idea is to save our marriage, not end it.

As it stands, I took the coaches advice. We did Christmas celebrations, and I saw my BIL a total of 2 hours and did not interact with him. We are going ice skating today. The rink is opening later than we expected. My kids wanted to go to their cousins (my BIL) house to play. I told my W I am not going over there, but my sister planned it against my advice. I dropped my wife and kids off and am 15 minutes away typing this in the car. I believe this is putting the three of them in a very uncomfortable situation.

I did not say a word to my wife when dropping them off. I simply made sure she had her cell phone to call for a pick up. I will go ice skating because it is time with my kids and their cousins, but it is unlikely I will even see my BIL.

You might say, he11 no, I wouldn't drop my W off at my BIL. But, you see, she will go with or without me. Me refusing to take them would only result in my W taking her own car to every event in tge future.
