I got 99 problems but an MLCer ain't one!

[daring]

FY- I guess I feel the underlying impetus isn't simple. I feel he is trying to control things and that he would argue or give me a hard time about some things. Maybe I'm mind reading but that's how I feel.
I also feel like if and when I moveon to a new relationship, I won't be texting my exH everytime one of our kids goes somewhere.

So to answer your question- it hurts b/c I think it helps him maintain contact and control.
It may help b/c he's asking me to and I would like to have a cooperative coparenting relationship.
Maybe I'm trying to be punitive b/c I feel I've asked for a lot of things that I haven't gotten ( like commitment to marriage vows).

I'll have to think on this a bit more....
