Wife is not who I married...Pls Help Pt 4

[HelenaJ]

If it were me, I would insist that S text her.
If he wants to reject her attempts he needs to do so himself and not ask you to do it for him.
And I would not allow him to ignore texts either insisting that he either accept or decline, bc she is Mom and you dont ignore.
In doing so, it may soften him a little bc rejection is harder to do yourself than when someone else does it for you. My thoughts.
I hope youre we ll today, you sounded a little defeated, I know youre trying to do what s best and honestly I dont see you as controlling, just confused about what your role should be and thats understandable.
