If you don't want to cause her anxiety, then don't discuss the relationship, divorce/reconciliation. Those topics instantly cause anxiety for her.

Beach vacation would be me getting a hotel separate to see daughter.


Help me understand this ^^^^^^. The two of you are separating, right? But vacations together will continue? Does that mean other family events will continue together? If so, then you need to examine carefully the true reason for this separation.

If you are in a tournament, and she is taking a beach vacation, then who is paying the expenses for her vacation? Are those expenses in addition to the amount you will give her each month....or will she pay for it with the allowance you give her?


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
