From now on, watch those texts. The rule-of-thumb is that if it's about the kids, reply immediately, if it's about HH logistics, take a few hours, and if it's fight-picking about the R, don't reply at all.
Since you said you don't have kids, this should be fairly simple. Not easy, but SIMPLE.

puppy what is HH? haven't seen that one before. House hunting? i'm lost.
thank you for this outline. do dogs count as kids? lol
i can do the no contact, fight picking. and honestly she never really gets riled up until i ruffle her feathers a little, which isn't going to happen EVER AGAIN (at least not like i have been doing with the "i'm done" crap)
