Well, I'm right about the reactive part, but it seems that you weren't kidding.

Trust me, it is over the top, way out of control, reactive, engaged, hostile, non-businesslike, etc... WAAAAYYY over the top.

STBX's emails read pretty much fine. Sorry, but that's the way it is from an objective point of view.


OT- I think he's only half joking. He's been encouraged by people to post it all here so he doesn't end up sending it all to her smile.

So, this is the wretched thing about passive-aggressive S's- I have one too. They're very good at sounding "fine", reasonable, NICE, even. And any way you respond, you sound reactive, defensive, etc. You don't have as much background as I do on this sitch, but trust me, she's manipulative and conniving (sorry IR, but she is more and more lately). And "reasonable". I don't know if you've ever known anyone like that. Very hard to deal with rationally. Anyway, my best advice is to not respond at all, or respond and like I said in my post above, only respond to business with business. Yes, we know she's getting in digs all over the place, but choose not to bite on any of them.
