Hey Irish,

I'm a newbie compared to you, so maybe I'm still way off, but I didn't like the texts:

We should of paid for the best therapist around to deal with the time I left 10 years ago. We didn't discuss it and your jealousy was born.

As for the girls. I didn't want to see them because they disrespected me. Came to my apartment without warning , even though they had a key and rooms there.


I hear a lot of defending / blaming. I don't know the whole history of your sitch, she refers to your jealously twice. I don't know if you did anything wacky out of jealously or something. If not, the phrase "...and your jealously was born" feels like she's pointing a finger at you.

Maybe she's trying to justify what she did, maybe she's truly recalling her steps, thinking "what did I do?" At least she's in therapy.

Everyone's right. Gently validate and back off.
