Hi mandyloo,

Thank you for popping in and your wishes. I wish the same to you.

Here I am again. Every time I write that XH has not written he writes a few hours later!

He started with "Dearest Ex" and didn't mention the money or react to my saying I spent it! Instead, he told me about a few things he did.

He also wrote that he finally found a GF he likes! He continued with my pet name, saying that he is not sure if he can mention her to me without upsetting me, so I should let him know. However, he thinks that I will not have a problem with it but one never knows. Her mother tongue is not our language and therefore she says some strange things he would like to share with me (he wrote what strange things she said). He signed his e-mail again "With best regards".

Now I know why he has been so funny in his e-mails and in quite a good mood lately. He sounds more like the man I used to know and love. I guess he is happy again, and I wonder for how long this time! – Last time it lasted about 2 ˝ years until he split up.

Of course, I was hurt even after all these years! I don't know how I should react. It looks to me as if he thinks of me as his good pal who he can share anything with !

On one hand I like to be in contact with XH and hear funny things, but on the other hand I am not sure if I really want to hear what strange things his GF says, even if they are funny.

I guess I will tell him that I don't really want to hear about it. Does anybody have any other advice?

I was searching for something on my PC and just by coincidence the e-mail appeared XH wrote to me almost two years ago to the day inviting me to stay with him for winter. So I am double upset!

On a better note, I will meet the guy soon I have been writing to lately. He is the guy who has so many interests in common with me, and I wonder what the catch will be – LOL.
