[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a reason you're saying "my spouse" repeatedly in posts, OP? You're also carefully avoiding saying he or she....Why the camouflage? Anticipating different reactions based on what people assume spouse to be--?

It occurs to me that if you are a DW with a DH, and the former lover is a woman, well, the contact could be about a child they had, about which he knew nothing. Maybe not likely; I think the recent adoption threads made me think of that. It's also possible the the ex is nostalgic for some reason like an illness or a life change and that's why the ex is reaching out.

I'd say that if your spouse wants to respond, ask your spouse to involve you out of respect for your partnership. You can be on speakerphone again when spouse phones the ex back. If you get the vibe that the contact is just idle curiosity or "So, you married or free?", then you clearly tell spouse that you're not comfortable with further contact and ask spouse to respect that request.[/quote]
