Does she take her phone with her to the bathroom? Does she put her phone face down when she lays it down on the table/nightstand? Is her phone on silent mode?
Actually, it has been a long time since she has taken the phone into the bathroom with her and she doesn't put it face down, either. Her time on the phone has decreased a good bit. Sometimes late at night when she is asleep or before she gets up I will push the button just to see and there haven't been any messages for a long time.

I think you need to stop doing stuff with her, E. I know that's counter intuitive to what you want to hear. I am codependent as well. I've read all the books, done the workshops, and even went to Codependent Anonymous meetings for a while.
I know. I never ask to do stuff as she is the one who suggests things. I know I need to stop all of this but its just so hard.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
