Holding I'm glad you had a good meetup and seem to be doing well! I do wonder why you are so cloak and dagger with W when it comes to answering her questions. It must feel to her like you're trying to provoke her with your evasiveness.

The key to "act as if", "GAL", dropping the rope and detaching is just not to let your STBX impact you at all. In the context that you don't care if they are sleeping or jumping up and down like a mad woman, it really doesn't matter what you tell them.

That's the key is not to be impacted by however they react to you. If they don't acknowledge what you said at all, who cares? If they scream at you, their lack of control is amusing. No matter what happens, your toes are still tapping and you're moving forward with your plans.

I might suggest backing off on responses that might be interpreted as passive aggressive, and just do your thing. There's no need to keep secrets.

R talk is of course off-limits. You can treat her as you would a friendly co-worker, respectful, but with lines drawn in terms of what you will share and what you won't.

I know that's confusing but its all in the nuance. I think you know what I mean.
