OK I got a Christmas photo from xh. Don't ask me what was in in it because I deleted it. Which bit of 'we are divorced, and you never used to do Christmas photos anyway' does he not get? Not upset about it, just bemused. For some reason my children didn't get this particular treat.

I find him a bit of an embarassment these days, if I am honest. A sort of 'OMG was I really married to this guy?' I am still fond of him, he can still irritate me, but mostly he seems a bit irrelevant.

Yes, I was heart broken, but that was in the past, and I want to enjoy my future. I suspect he is ogng to go on doing strange and idiotic things, partly because as Snodderly pointed out, these people cannot admit they made a mistake. So it is all about shoring up, in their own mysterious way, their view of the world.
