If I were in your position I would be bummed and feeling left out. Try and use this time to detach from the negative emotions.

When you do have contact, present an upbeat, confident, almost happy, to happy demeanor. It is important to “act as if” while contacting them. Your kids need the break in the drama the vacation will give them. W does not need the satisfaction of your sadness over not being there with the kids.

If it's about the kids, respond within the hour, but be the one to end the exchange.

If it's not pertaining to the kids, I'd recommend ignoring it, or at least until later that night or something and then reply with a "Sorry, just saw this -- been a busy day! Glad to hear you're having fun!" ... or some such.

Why is she so urgent about her cell phone while on vacation?


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!

Alright, W just called again! This time, to say the cell phone co. Needs to reset the passcode in my name again and wanted to know if I could text it to her while she's online.

Said, ok. Got the text and sent her the code with a here it is, go nuts!
She replied- Thank you!!! I think I did it after the zillienth try. We'll
call u later.

Why w had to call me to ask instead of txt is beyond me. Now she just text me the new info. She really is on a mission in
more
ways than one

I asked the same question to myself, Sandi. Perhaps just another way to get detached from me and something she had in progress but couldn't finish before they left.

Even still, just odd behavior..par for the course lately, though, strange.

Talked to all the kids from their vacation. Tons of "Daddy we miss you" sentiments which s nice to hear but hurts just the same. Said goodnight and to have fun tomorrow.

WAW called back after hanging up w/ kids to ask if there was anything we needed to discuss. I said, nope just wanted hear the kids
voices. Small talk ensued and w stated tellng me about their day and I found a good point to end the convo (dark) and to have a good rest of the night.

W certainly has increased contact since being on vacation. I
always try to be the one to end the exchanges. She's being wY nice but I refuse to let myself read into it. I'm cordiL
but all about my kids
