OK, as my last post described how I sent my h a brief email on Easter Sunday. I have had no contact in almost 4 months [since we divorced], and before that no contact in 6 months, so nearly a year of no speak, and a pretty hostile divorce.
I just received a single line reply, asking me how our boys [and girls], are doing {this referring to their wives, gfs as we have three boys}.
Obviously a request for information, but do I want to respond? The email I sent was a friendly gesture, and asked no questions.
My feeling is that after all this time he could ask them himself. I also find the use of 'our' boys odd. I never refer to the children as 'ours' anymore, but 'my' children. Hmmm I need to think about this. No rush, as it took him nearly 4 days to respond. BUT and it is a big but, it is civil. not sure I expected any sort of reply, but a polite one . . . is unusual from my xh.
