So he came over to pick up our daughter for a lunchdate and a day at the zoo... DD throws a fit bc I am not going with them. I know it breaks her heart that we are not a family together anymore, so I asked him "Can I go to lunch? Or is this just a day for the two of you".. he told me I didnt have to ask and of course I could go...

Lunch went well.. we didnt talk about anything important.. just chatted and played with the little one.

On the drive back to the house to get DD ready for the zoo.. he says "boy that that a mistake bringing you to lunch..."
I just started crying bc he is so rude. He could have worded it differently. When I asked him if I could go... I was doing it for my daughter... not him. He could have told me he didnt feel right with me going to lunch with them. Right?
Is it my fault for asking to go? Was I wrong?

I am so confused. I would so much like to just be friends with him and continue to take care of our daughter.. but he is making this so hard. I think i need to just cut myself off from him all together...

Any advice... thank you.

How old is your daughter? Maybe he was upset because he didn't realize being around you would stir up feelings of love? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Just a thought. tew

P.S. I love your signature phrase.
