Well, I've had no contact with my now exH from early March until about 2 weeks ago. I got an email from him and called him and we talked. I didn't share my new address or phone number with him (I used call block). I didn't really enjoy the phone conversation much, he did try to bring up the past again, and rehash things as if we hadn't already ended things. Or rather, he again attempted to make me feel as though I'd made an unwise and rash decision to not wait until summer to try spending time with him rather than throwing in the towel in February.
Then my stupid brother didn't have my new phone number and called my exH and, AND talked to him for 3 freaking hours last Monday. 3 hours! Idiot brother of mine. Then my exH sent him some cigars he'd gotten in Cuba and by the time I talked to my brother 2 days later, he was smoking the cigars while on the phone with me, and sounding somewhat sympathetic to my apparently very down and unhappy exH. I sure had to set my brother straight on who his BLOOD relative was (ME!) and that he ought to take what I have to say as more important than my exH's likely manipulative statements on the phone.
Anyways, to the funny part. My exH has emailed me a few times in the past couple weeks. First, he sent me a picture of himself in Cuba, smiling and holding two different bottles of beer. Considering that I had made it clear to him that his drinking was a big issue to me, he must've been hoping to incite me to email him back with a lecture. I did not reply. He emailed another time to tell me, "
I am assuming your email is the same. Don't worry I don't even know your cell phone anymore because my cell that stored your # is dead. You are frrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee at last." (How great is that? I'm very happy to know he doesn't even have my cell phone number!) And then last night he sent me (three times within 10 minutes) a wave file of the song "Real Good Man" by Tim McGraw.
So I looked up the lyrics of that song. Does he think that if I listen to the song I'll want to be with him again or something? What is he thinking? This song actually makes me laugh!

Up there in your high society
They might tell you I'm no good
Girl they need to understand
Just who I am
(Chorus)
I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man
I may drink too much and play too loud
Hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd
That don't mean I don't respect
My mama and my Uncle Sam
Yes sir, yes ma'am
(Repeat Chorus)
Might have a reckless streak
At least a country mile wide
If you're gonna run with me
It's gonna be a wild ride
When it comes to lovin' you
I've got velvet hands
I'll show you how a real bad boy
Can be a real good man
I'll take all the good times I can get
I'm too young for growing up just yet
Ain't much I can promise you
Except to do the best I can
I'll be damned
(Repeat Chorus)

I didn't reply to any of the emails. I don't see any point in it. Actually, I fear that if I do reply that it will encourage him when I certainly do not mean to do that.
So I hope I made you smile a bit today!
