Well that is certainly pulling the rug out from someone... I can see your struggle to act as if while spending the day with him as a family unit.

I like what you wrote about your IC statements about what Pommy wants/needs. Maybe if YOU need him to text less. Then just don't respond unless they are relevant to an urgent matter or the kids. Let him tell you about his day and the snow... and just let it go? Unless you are doing that already? Stop replying when it isn't important and I think he will notice. Now be prepped for anger but I learned in my sitch long ago that the anger they come back with is to cover their confusion.

I hope for you a very nice day.
