If you two ever do get back together, I bet she will end up telling you that this so-called "controlling" behavior of yours during this period was, in fact, attractive.
That she HATED YOUR GUTS AT THE TIME for it, but also respected it and the way you stood up for yourself and your kids.
That's what my wife did, even though she screamed like a witch with holy water poured on her when I did it!
