I would suggest you separate your thinking here. If you add everything to the one pot, you could be crushed by the world against huddy feelings. You do your job to the best of your abilities to the purpose you are there for. From experience I have learned that whereas you should never be a pushover with bosses, you need to be able to adapt. The second thing I learned is to keep work for work and to minimise it's affect on outside life.

As for W, strange. The phone is hers and she can do whatever she wishes. I presume that it is on the joint account she recently got you taken off of. As long as you are not liable (phone co or bank), tell her it is hers to do as she wants. It is nothing to do with you. No need to argue your point .

As for helping, I think you can make that call. I don't see any reason to make yourself available and if you have plans KEEP them. Don't come across as peeved, just busy. I do wonder in your case whether you need to actively be non available to W. It is hard to know, but could be the new xt change to try.

Take an extra long bath tonight. You'll be grand.
