Guess I belong here now...

Thanks DMR for commenting. Yes, it was a lot of info at once, but I think I did okay.

I guess it helps that we're actually divorced now, so although I'm still jealous of anyone he's involved with, I know that he's free to do so, as am I.

I knew xh conducted a training today, so when I got out of work I texted him, saying I hoped it went well and wishing him a good day. He replied, saying it went ok and wishing me the same.

I said thanks, but thought about it and after 30 min or so told him that I was sure his training was great, but that he was always tough on himself.

We discussed that for a bit, me giving him WOA (his ll) about how good he is as a trainer. I used to sit in on his trainings, so I know what he can do.

The convo ended, but 20 min or so later, he thanked me. I told him he didn't need to because I was only telling him the truth. But he could remember it the next time I told him something he didn't like! He agreed, asking me to do the same.

If I'm going to be in a relationship in the future, with xh or not, I need to figure out how to speak someone's love language, so I might as well practice.

Yesterday was just weird, because it was like seeing the old h that I fell in love with, not the angry, depressed guy I've seen for the last two years.
