Since you asked... I think this bit is too passive and that you probably over compensated because you were angry, so... the net result... is it sounds passive-aggressive.
Assertive will work for you better, I think.
Example: "I didn't see your text until now, but since you asked, I feel like you are being very controlling".
It's the truth, right?
How can she argue with your feelings? You tried arguing with hers in the past, and how well did that work?
Your feelings are your feelings.
And if she invalidates your feelings, you just respond, "well, that's how I feel".
