BBj, I know you still love Dan and still have hope, but I just don't get why you allow him to text you with these ridiculous demands. He is still cake-eating and gas-lighting, still stringing you along. Not to mention still admonishing you with his emotional abuse.

And guess what? You guys are divorced. Since when do you think it's ok to get all defensive at his infantile texts? Ignore them. Quit going to dinner with him as though you are still a couple. You're confusing the hell out of your kids.

Shoes and clothes and wii, oh my!! Such profound texting from your ex.
