If you start sounding like Eeyore, stop. That's a red flag.
Never suggest what your former spouse should do with the child support. That's insulting and intrusive.
Don't take what your former spouse says personally. You put forth the request, she disagreed. End of story. Trying to figure out the rationale only takes positive energy away from you.
Consider a dating coach over divorce busting one. Heck.. Go to a good counselor over either of them. Fix you first!
An "I miss you" text is a tentative feeler to see how YOU are going to respond. It's not taking initiative or putting herself on the line.
And did you get a good counselor? Huh.. huh??? It's always easier to hang on someone else's words.. like your buddies here, a woman who's not ready for a relationship rather than WORK ON YOU.
Get off your cute ass, dump the woe is me crap and take care of this incredible guy I adore.
Get healthy before you get stuck in emotional goop.
Feel free to use this line.
"Yo, babe.. it's not you, it's me. I gotta get my ticker fixed before I can tick tock with you."
Work on YOUR emotional wellbeing first. What type of message does it send to Gracie if you don't?
