[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was laying in the bed with boyfriend and saw a text on his phone come through from his ex-wife. I asked him what it was about because it was late. He wouldn't show me the text, but said it had to do with one of their children. They haven't been divorced long (6 mos) and I'm concerned that he's not over her. We started dating a year before their divorce was final and they fought a lot over every detail of custody, the house and alimony. He shared a lot with me about how mean and vindictive she was. Anyway, this morning I looked at his texts and saw that he sent her a Merry Christmas text and a Happy New Year text. Why is he being nice to her? Like why does he even still care to do this? I get that they have kids, but this seems a little too buddy, buddy for me. Should I be concerned that he's not over her? [/quote]
Was there something more to the texts than Happy Holidays? My former neighbor texted me to say Happy New Year. We’re not too buddy, buddy. I wouldn’t read more into the texts than was there. OTOH, if they were fondly reminiscing about Christmases past or he told he that he missed her, that would be different. I think it’s a smart move for him to try to build some good will and maintain a cordial relationship. It will pay off in the future when the next big issue crops up between them.[/quote]

It is not uncommon for emotionally stable divorced people to text and wish:  Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Mothers Day Happy Birthday etc.[/quote]

[b]His ex-wife is not emotionally stable.[/b] I've heard her go off on him before. She is very mean and nasty. That's why I don't understand why he's initiating conversations with her. - Op[/quote]

It appears we have discovered what his type is.  [/quote]
