My twins text me occasionally things about my ex-wife. I don't really engage much with them about her. The twins like to complain, and I am sure they do the same thing about me. I did receive two texts that I found interesting last week.
This one was the day before Mother's Day.
Twin A: Mom told me today is the day she divorced you.
It has been twenty years. I would even be able to guess the day the divorce was finalized. I do remember the day she filed for divorce. It was on my birthday. Why would she even remember the day?
Twin B: We went to Romeo today to meet Mom's cousin with Mom and Stepdad. (I am paraphrasing.)
I didn't mention to Twin B that his mom dated her cousin (same last name but distant enough) before me. I am sure she didn't say that to her now-husband, either. She seems to have a problem letting go of her past, and she tends to romanticize it. The first thing she did when she decided to divorce me was look up an old boyfriend she hadn't seen in 18 years. She dated him long-distance for about a year during and after the divorce.
I wouldn't be surprised if history repeats itself.
I think most people hold onto the past because they believe it was better than today, and usually they're completely wrong.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. The past is just the past. Nothing better, just different.
DeleteUh oh. Is there trouble with the current husband? It sounds like you don't really want to know, though, so don't worry about answering the question.
ReplyDeleteI don't really care. I just find it interesting.
DeleteIt is a weird thing for her to say
ReplyDeleteI know. I would questioning her actions if I was her new husband.
