Coparenting communication

I just need some thoughts of this topic bc it rubbed me the wrong way.

So I have a 10 y/o son, me and his father have always had a good relationship coparenting well.

He ended up getting married last year, I’ve done nothing but had respect for him and his wife and had friendly conversation.

Just a couple days ago I had sprained my ankle at work pretty bad, and I messaged my son’s father letting him know. I’m not working at the moment, he’s picking my son up tomorrow & I have a 3 hr drive to get him. He had responded how he broke his ankle awhile back, told me when the swelling should go down & said good luck, I said thanks!

Nothing crazy, right?

That night get a message from him saying “out of respect for our marriage can our conversations be in our coparenting text group message” which is me, him, and his wife.

I’m irritated because I feel like she doesn’t want us to be civil at all. What I had told him also didn’t pertain to her whatsoever.

We have had some words in our “coparenting text”, where she had became very rude to me, calling me names, telling me I have to listen to her and everything involving my son with his father is her business”. Although she’s a great step mom, I also know she DOESN’T like me. I also do not agree on her even being involved in a conversation related to coparenting bc at the end of the day- decisions are based on the child and two parents. She doesn’t have a legal say so, like she tries to have.

She tells me their marriage is equal and they do everything together. I respect that- but the problem is if I have to conversate about my son, or about any updates that may have to do with coparenting, I’m not obligated to say anything in a group chat.

What would yall do, & am I in the wrong?
