[quote=Anonymous]Teach yourself to respond once a day. If she calls, let it go to VM. If she texts, scan it to make sure there isn't an emergency, but don't respond until you're ready. Whether that is 4pm before you leave work or 8:30pm after you put the kids to bed, you let your phone run interference and you give her the attention when you have it to give. Don't let her put you on an interrupt schedule where you feel you have to respond to her immediately. Once you realize that you have control over how much she demands from you and you cut it back to a manageable amount, you won't feel as pressured by it nor as stressed.[/quote]
