Divorced #5. And I think Im getting it..

[Mrs D]

Starting a new thread from Divorced #4.
This was the last post from that thread:

X came to the cookout. Called me when I was 5 minutes out asking where we were. I was actually surprised because he didnt go last year, and we were together! Anyway, we got there - he walked up to the car. We walked up and he stopped to talk to his XGF from high school (they alwasy talke when they see each other). C and I went through the line - I made X a plate. Brought it back to him while he was talking - he said, oh I wasnt going to eat. I have to go to Moms for Dads bday dinner. I thought it was crappy that he didnt ask C to go, but I realized it was Thursday and GF would be going. I made a mental note that this is something he would have NEVER done regarding his son since he knows C loves going to G&Gs house.

So C and I ate, X put his plate on the sidewalk. We all sat together on the curb. AFter C was finished eating, he went to play on the playground with his friends. X and I spoke of work, my daughter, some other things. Then he said he spoke to a mutual friend that had called to apologize that he was invited to the lake last weekend as well. Apparently the friend let him know that he was upset X never calls or stops by anymore now that hes with GF. Somehow the conversation goes to he and I, and how 95% of our friends want us back together again. Then I said something that he is the only one that doesnt want us back together. He then said how he had tried for the past three years to bring us back together. I told him that he should read up on Mid life crisis once to understand.

I actually didnt like where the conversation was going, so I got up and grabbed my purse. He said - where are you going? I said I am going to talk to someone else, and walked away. He sat there for a couple seconds, then he left. The cookout. The open house. Everything, without saying goodbye to his son. He knew plenty of people there. He could have stayed and finished the night, but he left.

Thoughts?
