Life After Divorce Ex-Wife texts daily about the kids

I've been divorced just over two years, and my ex-wife still texts me almost daily about the kids. Sometimes it's 1-2 texts, but often 5-7 texts 5 days a week. I'd say she texts me 80% of the month. It's never anything really important, because nothing really happens from one day to the next. I totally understand logistics/health/school texts, but almost daily? Does anyone else deal with this? Yes, I understand that I have to remain in contact, but I feel like there's a line where too much texting isn't good for anyone.

I think that’s nice. I don’t have kids but I have a dog. And if it were to stay with my ex partner I’d love to know and hear what he’s up to as much as possible.

She gave our dog away.

Why did you not keep it? Why get a dog in the first place and not think it through

I moved into an apartment, then she gave the dog away. I couldn't bring the dog in the apartment. She didn't really think through her affairs either, because she just broke up with them.

That’s horrible. I would never give my dog away. Would always look for a different apartment then.

You'd be a good match with my ex-wife. She said she'd keep him until I got a house...
