Yes..

Or just say f it and do my own beach trips w D3.

Yes. I understand that you want to play family, but that is some serious cake eating. Have your own fun beach trip with D and let your W see what she is missing...

Thoughts on celebrating D3 birthday together?

No. For the same reason stated above. Have your own awesome party for her...

I have Seen some posts of success stories from michelle talking about being a great friend to spouse and then R. That is what seems to work best. Limit my contact w her and when we do interact be happy bubbly like a nice friend happy to see D3 etc.

Don't let yourself get restricted to the friend zone, dude. Anyone can be her friend. I think you want more than that. By all means, be friend-ly, but be careful about being just a friend
