You beat me here! Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines as you did.
Bob,
It is so so important to give out as much detail here as you can because we all go by with what people write here. I'm glad you came back with some additional information. With that in mind, please disregard my suggested response.
Hello Wonka!
So, what should I do? Completely disregard my W's text: "Bob - you need to call AT&T and pay the rest of the bill."
It was cancelled by her, about 5 months after I, and my lawyer mentioned to her lawyer, that she cancel it. She's not living here anymore (so sad) and I didn't want the line or use it. I believe the bill is $250.00 or more. I'd pay it gladly if she took it as an act of love or if this was on me. Who knows, maybe she will take it as an act of love? But, going by her actions the past 6 months, I don't feel she will. Am I mindreading??
Again, I want to keep the road home paved smoothly, yet not seem like a doormat.
Could letting her know I'll take care of the bill spark any emotional connection?
I'll close with this for now. When you are in the midst of a situation like separation or divorce, you tend to think there are few choices available to you. In reality there are a million choices available to you, and the choices you make will ultimately be those that have an effect on both your immediate and your future actions.
Having written that, what should I choose to do? I can't see the forest thru the trees.
Thank you and God bless you all for your continued support.
Bob
