I suppose that's true. You get a nice kind of feedback from that rage -- keeps you warm at night.
I hate that it's come to this. But it has. You play the cards you're dealt, not the ones you wish you had. Text from WAW today: I really can't take much more of this.
Why can't she take much more of this? What the heck are you doing to impede her life any way shape or form? She got what she wanted, her own place, she shares the kids, having fun with OM and yet she still isn't happy - she has problems and it isn't you - you aren't pursuing her anymore.
I would have texted her back, regardless of going dark or not and really had some fun with it,
"You really can't take much more of this?! Isn't this what you wanted? What the hell do you want from me now? Stop texting me and leave me alone, can't you see that I don't want you anymore? Get a life, move on, I know I have, you're really being a pain in the a$$ now and you're not my problem to deal with anymore!"
and that's it, I'd say at this stage, give her a kick in the ass every now & then with her $hit behavior and then laugh it off when she gets all bat $hit crazy - you know it's all her now, not you. Seriously you don't live together, you don't have "relations" anymore and haven't for quite some time, you don't do activities together, all you do is share the kids and aside from a few legalities, that's it, she needs to get a life and stop messing around with your life. You're allowed to tell her to stop bothering you, I'd call that a definite respect boundary as much as anything else.
