My Ex-Husband Told Me This About Dating
And all I could think of was the irony
It’s late and I receive a text.
“I think you mean to be texting another woman,” I reply.
“Nope,” says the sender. “I know exactly who I’m texting.”
“Seriously? Have you lost your mind?” I reply.
I’m a year and a half out of my never-ending five-year divorce. It’s my ex-husband who somehow mysteriously thinks I may still be attracted to him. As if I would be interested in the type of offer he’s extending.
He’s quiet for a few months.
I receive another text.
“I’ll even make you dinner,” he says.
“Again,” I text back. “You are out of your ever-loving mind! Never gonna happen.”
He doesn’t stop there. He begins corresponding like I’m one of his buddies. He explains he’s on a dating site now and sends me a pic and information of a woman he’s communicating with.
What he says next both annoys me and leaves me in disbelief. If there could be any more shock than soliciting your ex-wife to keep you company. Especially one you bullied and wouldn’t let go for five long years.
“I’m lonely,” He says.
