She can be proud. I worry that may keep her from asking for help again.
Obviously, I cannot make her have a face-to-face conversation, but I can refuse to text about it. She seems to want something from me in her texts (acceptance? forgiveness? cooperation? I don't know.) and there is much I want to say to her, but I will not have the conversation by text. For pete's sake, we're middle-aged and married, not teenagers too immature to talk about a relationship in person. I offered to talk to her face-to-face about what she wants from me, but no reply. She is in charge, as she has been since the day she left.
