In my opinion, and in my situation I only responded to visitation schedule & bills. Nothing mor. she fired you as her wife therefore as a friend. If she needs validation on her hungtimg she can get it from OW. & Her dad getting a new tv Sounds like friendzone. . I think you're on the right track our Ws (at least in the current and few lesbian marriages) seem to think they can keep us as friends. Also the whole not answering texts is more for you. I recall in the beginning When i stopped replying I felt...free or idk just like very whatever if W texted me. It's kind of a nice feeling. It helps to stop worrying about the W. It certainly helped me, perhaps it will do you some good too!
