bstill Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 After four years of marriage, my ex-wife and I divorced last fall. The marriage ended terribly. I haven' spoken to her in 7 months, and I haven't seen her in more than a year. Yesterday I got a text from her saying only "I miss you." I'm irritated by this, but am also profoundly puzzled. Any ideas that may explain this?

I haven' spoken to her in 7 months, and I haven't seen her in more than a year. Yesterday I got a text from her saying only "I miss you." I'm irritated by this, but am also profoundly puzzled. Any ideas that may explain this? Ok, here's two ideas 1) She texted you by mistake 2) She really misses you
willowthewisp Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Could be any number of motives, without knowing the details of your divorce it's difficult to say but here are some options 1 She wants to get back together 2 She wants to be friends 3 She wants to talk to you occasionally bc she misses having you in her life 4 she does miss you but knows you can never be in contact or friends 5 she is having a hard time right now and wants to use you to make herself feel better, an ego boost and when she does she will drop you again The only question you really need to ask yourself here is do you want andy contact with her? As a friend, or do you want her back? If the answer is no, ignore the text. If the answer is yes, then respond and ask why she sent the message.
Author bstill Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 That is strange. Have you responded to her? I did. I replied saying "Well, of course you do." Haven't heard anything since, so I'm chalking her little missive up to a mistake or more of her inexplicable nonsense. I learned all I need to know about her and her sociopathic family to never go back, so I'm gonna keep moving forward. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts.
worldgonewrong Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I replied saying "Well, of course you do." Love this!!
Surfer203 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Yeah, well played. If you are over her then ther is no point in saying anything comforting to her. She missed the boat, too bad for her!

Any ideas that may explain this? The economy is in the gutter and eligible men who could be good partners arent exactly lining up to marry. There was a time when many women thought they could always do better. Now some ex wifes realize better isnt around or interested or a she, so the trend to reconsider the ex is growing.

I hope I get the opportunity to send the same message to my ex one day when he finally realises what he has done, which I KNOW he will. I'm over it, ship has sailed, finally.
BlindRage Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Yea, you should just ignore her number. Don't reply to her its a waste of time and only meaningless idle chat. If I can live without your ex so can you haha
Restwich Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Missing you is not the same as wanting to be with you.
