My son finished his summer basketball league and he recieved a trophy and an award.......I let my X know via email. She replied with "Wow we have a little star on our hands"......."Too bad things are the way they are". What is that supposed to mean? Comments?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

My $.02 ... ignore it. Be happy now with your new life and limit communication with ex. It helps SO much. I try to not worry about what XH means with his little comments; I figure he's trying to dig at me, but if I ignore it, he doesn't have that control over me.

I don't know anything about your situation or story, but it sounds like regret. I am not sure who divorced who or if you are divorced, but even if she was the one who left or divorced, there is often regret and sadness over the choices made. I don't agree on limiting communication with your ex, but then I believe in reconciliation as being a good and Biblical thing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> However, like I said, I do not know anything about your situation (if you are remarried, etc) so I cannot advise you, but your sad smiley face indicates that it caused you to feel sad.

Quick review.....EX and I did not get along for years, things came to a head and I wanted to seek MC. The EX wanted to separate for awhile and see what would happen after that.....well, she started seeing some dude and then filed for divorce. I remarried a month ago and from what I understand my EX is still seeing OM. At least a little bit. Im not at all concerned about getting back together with my EX EVER! And, I did ignore the comment to the extent of not replying to it......I was just curious to why in the world she would say anything at all now.

Also, that was not a sad smiley face.....it was a confused one. This is actually how I feel in my life right now........... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Because affairs usually end within 6 months to a year and then the ws really sees what happened.

As stated earlier, It really and truly doesnt matter any more. I personally would never, ever say anything like that to her though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
