Bwaaaahaha. Really, I'm laughing right now. I'm so cold it's not funny. _________________________
Well, I'm glad you're getting a thrill out of this.
Not the way I would have handled this personally, but you're an original to be sure.
Under similiar circumstances, the only thing I would have said is this: "Look, we're not going to be buddies. No respectable woman is going to want to be with a man who is best buddies with his ex-wife, and try as I might, I cannot imagine a woman I would want to be with saying to me, 'Honey, let's invite your ex-wife over for dinner'. It's not going to happen, and I know it.".
End of conversation about being buddies. No "bwahahaha" childish joy in another's anguish (even if they have been asking for you to move on all of this time). I'd just live my life and enjoy it even though you have to deal with some unpleasant stuff along the way.
What you needed to do was level set expectations: we're not going to be buddies because that's not how real-life works. End of story. Nothing more needed to be said.
For somebody who has lovingly detatched, you sure do have a lot to say to this woman, talk to her often about non-child-related stuff, and take an odd joy in the idea that she might be unhappy getting what she has been asking for all along.
