I think they are wearing a lot of masks and probably not in touch at all with their own feelings. They are living their current reality, but it changes.

Yes, my xh thinks there is something wrong with me because I do not want to spend time with him and new wife.

If our divorce had been different, if he had treated me like a fellow member of the human race then I might be able to at least consider friendship. But he didn't, and that is his problem not mine. I do better when i do not have to deal with him, and I want him to respect my feelings in this.
