Yeah, it really is that simple...

Hey, you know, I was thinking of how I don't want to have discussions about what I am doing in my life, and who I am dating with you. So maybe we could BOTH feel that way, and I don't have to have discussions about yours either ? .....I'm glad that you are finding happiness, yet it doesn't serve me to hear about your adventures in dating.

Soo wordy. If/When she brings it up.

"Hey I'm not comfortable talking about dating with you"

You don't need to send a text out of the blue... in fact.. you might want to consider setting a boundary on yourself about only doing short conversations keeping it all business about the kids - if you haven't already.

There are polite ways to exit the conversation.
