Hi - nice to hear from you Toots. I used to post under another name but suspected that my xh may have been reading along, so I go back a long way

I was married a very very long time (over 30 years) and was extremely happy. So I cut my xh a lot of slack because we have a long history.

He was an extremely mean and ugly MLCer so this period of calm is much welcomed. He upset and alienated his children over a long period of time, and now largely blames me for the situation. Oh well. The gifts I find funny.

No-one has a clue as to why he married his current wife. Even my dil's mother finds it strange (she met her briefly prior to my son's wedding). My xh didn't attend which didn't impress anyone
