I sent her a text saying I couldn't talk as I was with the boys and asked her to send me an email letting me know what she wanted to talk about.
Stop setting traps for yourself by getting into a R talk with your W. You still don't see this--but you will naturally get into a fight! Stay away from talking over the phone and even by email. I do not understand why your lawyer would have you send her an email. Did he explain?
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!
