WAW Hired a Divorce Coach (Cont11.)

[BL42]

ScottB,

I went up to my ex to let her know that I would pick my daughter up at 12:30 PM tomorrow for a daddy daughter dance it starts at 2 PM

I would suggest giving her the information differently. When you approached her you could have said: "I'd liked to pick her up at X time because we got invited to hang with some other dads and daughters ahead of time." Rather than just blindside her with an early time.

I'll second SteveLW's take. The way you describe it you told her instead of asked her. Perhaps the way you broached it impacted her response? Presumably it was on her time, so it's fair to pose it as a question explaining why rather than telling her how it's going to be.

Scotty B you guys need space from each other. Lots and lots of space. It’s going to take some time for her to burn through the resentment.

LH is right. Space and time will help smooth these interactions in the future.

[quote=SteveLW]I too do not know Scott above what he has posted here. He sure seems like a good guy though. I stand by what I said, that his ex is going to live to regret letting him go.
[quote=Traveler]Scott, you're not a narcissist. Some day she'll realize.
^Agreed!
