A mutual family friend of my XW and I had a birthday last night and we were all there together with our girls. I am not angry with my XW but I have nothing to say to her and outside of the girls there is no reason to interact with her, inquire about her life, etc. When she first arrived I acknowledged her with a brief "hey" and then later on she came up to me and asked how I was. I jut said good and left it at that. Then when I was leaving I gave my girls hugs and kisses and just waved to her briefly.
I didn't feel awkward in her presence but I just have no desire for any interaction outside of stuff relating to my kids. I think I get the feeling she wants to be buddies, friends as from time to time she will send me random text messages, she wanted me to know she was going to back to school and taking classes. She is also going to Florida next week with a friend of hers and wanted me to know that as well. I don't know why she feels the need to tell me all these things but she does.
I know being friends with her or inquiring about her life is strictly up to me but am I wrong to keep her at arms length and not inquire about what she is up to? I am cordial for my girls and never bad mouth their mom ever in front of them, pay my child support like a good soldier and 1/2 of everything else but I just find myself having no use for anything more. I am not trying to be a jerk about it however I just don't see the point.
