SD Relax and breathe. " I've been busy" is perfect. Incidentally it SHOULDN'T be a lie.
It's not a lie in that I HAVE been busy, but it is a lie in that me being busy is the reason I didn't respond to her. That was intentional. Maybe it's just semantics but it is gnawing at me.

Quit smoking 7 years ago after 25 years of smoking, haven't drank since the Tinder incident, and have lost 10 lbs in the last month. So I don't have any excuses not to have self control here.

I don't plan on that. I am not under any illusions that will help. My worry is on the other side - anger, resentment, jealousy, and a general sense of FU. I need to stay aloof but goddamn it every part of me wants to call out all her BS and let her know I know what's going on and I'm not going to put up with it.
