I would ignore it and go on. You cannot please her with any response you give.

Everyday around 20pm W video calls to see the children but anytime she messages outside of that time I just take hours to see it and answer.

I got a pm today from W saying that I should try to look at the phone more often if possible. Before answering to her I wanted to check with the board, this is what I wanted to say.

"W, you know my position wrt our marriage are family, but while we are separated and independent I so not think you should tell me those things."

I am struggling to put this down to words but I want to convey the message that she chose to separate, even ask me repeatedly for a divorce and she simply cannot even comment on how often I look at the phone, she has lost that right. Am I right? how do I put this into words on a respectful and loving way? again, as time goes by and I gain confidence, I have realized I also need my boundaries.

Thanks a lot for your support and help! Here still GALing like a madman! smile
