I dated a girl from 2006 to 2013, and it will be two years next month since we broke up. This is the second year in a row that her mom has texted wishing me happy birthday and she asked me how life is treating me. Her daughter is now married. Does anyone else find this odd? Is her mom trying to keep me in the picture somehow?

her mother likes you.. but she seems to be confused about her priorities. she seems to lack respect for her son and what ultimately he might prefer. unless he is using his mom as an intermediary .. she is out of line. Family FIRST. her actions are proving to be very disloyal. however.. some people like to keep a pulse on everyone.. but it's still not right(to me).

I don't think so. 7 years is a long time to get to know someone. She's probably just very good at care taking friendships.

It's very possible she liked you more than her daughter's current husband.

VB,

 

Is this odd?

 

IMO, yes.

 

However, my exH's parents continued to send a Christmas card to my parents every year for about 15 years after we divorced. In that time exH had remarried his AP and had 2 kids with her !

 

"There's nowt so queer as folks" - as we say in UK :)

^^This was my first thought.

Depends on how the break up went down and how well you got on with her when you were with her daughter IMO. If she was already sending you texts on your bday before the breakup and you got on well with her, I'd probs take it as a nice gesture. If not, I'd still find it nice if a bit odd, though not enough to question her motives. If it bothers you or makes you feel uneasy, you could always get in touch with her and see what's what?

7 years is a long time. If you had a good relationship with her family it does not seem that odd.

 

There are a few exe's in my family that still keep in touch here and there. They don't come to Christmas dinner or anything but they are still around. They are more "friends of the family" now than anything else.

I keep in touch with a couple ex's family, and I'd expect that contact if the relationship had been as long as yours.

She shouldn't be doing that. It's a betrayal to her daughter to keep in touch with you for no reason. It's disrespectful to her.
