Printer Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 We have been seperated for 10 months now and she finally moved out six weeks ago. After 17 years of marriage and a 13 year old son, who lives with me, she wanted out of our marriage. I have implemented LC, cos of the boy, but now have a dilemma. A year ago we bought tickets to watch 'WWE' for all three of us which we we have done before. Always had a great day out. Our son wants his mum and dad to both go with him, but I'm not sure it such a great idea. It means a 2 hour drive, next tuesday, which I know will be very uncomfortable for us all. I'm not sure whether I could get through the day without talking about the relationship, obviously I want her back, and mess things up further. Do I take the chance? Do I say to my son, mum can't make it so we will take a friend? I'm not sure what to do. Any advice
Exit Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 I'd either tell him to bring a friend, or bring the ex but make a promise to yourself that you will have the strength to not talk about the relationship. If you can't handle that then leave her out of the event.
JaneDoe35 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 I would want to take my husband Printer...but we know how hard the day would be for you if you take your wife. I know it will be hard without her as everything without her is. But your son wont enjoy it if he can see your stress or sadness. Take a friend. I am very sorry you are going through this. It is torture, I know.
GrayClouds Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Do I take the chance? Do I say to my son, mum can't make it so we will take a friend? I'm not sure what to do. Any advice I would not tell him mum can not make it unless she is willling to confirm it, right now the son needs to know he can trust you. Which lead to another point. He is old enough to be honest with, though it will be difficult, tell him the truth, that mum and dad is not getting back together (which is why he want both of you to go). That while in the past we had fun, things have changed and it would not be the same this time if you all three went. Tell him that you are sorry for things have change and while it is hard for mum and dad it is hard for him too. Then ask him if he wants to bring a friend.
