Busting,

I was just like Tallula and you. H and i used to text and share cute pics and the things the kids did. I have also stopped doing that to help me detach and I can totally relate to your feelings. It is sad that we cannot share all the little and big milestones in their lives with a partner. Yet, we gain nothing dwelling on it and like you say, we are lucky to have the opportunity to witness all those beautiful, precious moments.

I was thinking about your H's lack of response. Does he typically respond to all your texts? For example - my H many, many times simply does not reply to either my texts or phone messages, regardless of what the topic is. I believe this has happened to others here (I recall commenting on this issue in one of LaBug's older threads some time ago.) We were all wondering why WAS would do that and came up empty. In other words, IDK if this is a "typical" WAS behavior or not, but my point is that perhaps your H's lack of response doesn't really have anything to do with his feelings or interest in the kids and more about a behavior / habit he has developed in regards to his communication with you and perhaps others as well.

I guess that is just a long-winded way of saying that we don't really know why he didn't respond and in the end, it doesn't matter why he didn't respond. Like you rightly said, it's his problem. You just keep focusing on the amazing woman you have become and your beautiful kids!

Your growth is amazing!
