Having a good Thanksgiving vacation. Staying with my brothers. Have my girls with me. Going to the gym, playing basketball with D9 and D11, went to a movie tonight. Eating lots of food and trying to get the ex out of my mind. Still not easy.

I'm trying to figure out how to swallow my pride with my ex and the OM regarding my issues mentioned earlier. I'd just really like to get to some basic level of communication. I'm assuming it's normal for the WAW to ignore the ex-spouse once they hook up with the OP? By the way, my ex's medical bill that was sent to the collection agent is nearly 2K. If I felt like it would score me some points if I took care of it, I would do it. I gave her all of my receipts for all the bills I paid and have simply asked her to let me know where things are at. It could simply be done with a short email. After asking politely several times - nothing.

Ex is out of town at her parents for the holiday and will be back on Sunday night where she will find a letter from my lawyer. Need some ideas on how to ratchet down the impending animosity?
