First of all, don't answer all of her messages if it's not necessary. Forget about the friendly banter. There is a time and place for it and now's not the time. Obviously your health is suffering because of it.
If she messages you, respond with "hey I can't talk right now, I'm out. I'll get back to you later." Then turn off the phone.
Show her you've moved on. Where is she living now?
Agree 100%
If W text you, and is not vital to respond, DON'T....
Replying ASAP shows you are waiting for her, and shows clingyness and neediness.
By not responding shows strength, courage and non neediness. Let W desire build so she contacts you again.(if not vital to do so)
IF you need to reply, keep it basic and vague, such as "hi, got you message, been really busy, hope u are well)
You are then not opening up a conversation.
Look, this may mean nothing but my W emailed me yesterday being friendly for the first time and not regarding the kids totally. I have yet to reply, but got another email from het this morning asking if I got her mail and asking me for my thoughts. I will keep the reply basic and send in another couple of hours.
