Don't say anymore about the phone (one way or the other) for right now. See what she does about it. Her reaction could have come from being (1) shocked at you, and (2) feeling anxiety from the little glimpse of realism she received.
If you had just made her mad b/c she thought you were being a jerk, why would she not have gotten into it with you, like she did the waitress over a glass of water? Who knows!
If I understand correctly, there is no type of separation in the M.......is that correct?
What does your W's paycheck cover?

We have a function tomorrow that we both need to attend for one of our children the seats are together and we will need to take a train to get there. Do I go with her? do I pay for the tickets for the train? Do we sit together? I mean right now I am the devil to her so she may not want to go.
I would go ahead and act as usual about the tickets and seats, b/c you are not a separated couple. If she complaines about the seats, tell her she is welcome to purchase her own. Otherwise, don't mention it.
Be a gentleman and enjoy the event. Show your charm, great personality, etc., as long as she is not acting like a b'tch. No relationship talk, no snide remarks, etc. You may need to take something on the train to occupy your time, in case she is in a sullen mood. Don't act worried about her mood, and act as if you are enjoying yourself. It's not your job to get her in a better mood. That's up to her. Don't take her cr@p. Don't take her showing disrespect to you.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
