One very important detail I left out about my wife's reply text is that the account is in her name. Also, my lawyer recommended many weeks ago that I not pay it. It was for a landline we still had, and I had been asking my W to cancel it since November. I made one payment after she left, and then sometimes she would forward me the bill late (reminder that she moved and lives 3 1/2 hours away) and other times she wouldn't even bother. Now I think the bill is close to $300.
I'm the type that always wants to do the right thing. I suppose I could pay it, but where will that get me? Won't I look like a doormat to my wife?
Wonka and All, of course you had no way of knowing all of this. I was so hurt by the way she responded that I didn't even think to add all that detail.
So everyone, now what do you think I should do? I still haven't replied and I haven't heard back from her since last night.
So it's handy, here's her text again: Bob - you need to call AT&T and pay the rest of the bill.
Send help now! LOL
Thank you all so much.
Bob
