I get what you are saying. I just don't think your XW is confident. My situation is like yours. I was the one who was cheated on and I was the one who got dropped like a hot potato for someone else who was supposedly better. H3ll, maybe she IS better...don't know and don't care. Like you, I didn't get angry, I just moved on. My XH may feel exactly you and wonder why I didn't engage in conversation with his W, but I just don't feel like I need to. I'm over it. Now, granted, our situation is different in that we don't have young children so we don't have to talk to each other. We were able to totally separate and be away from each other where you have that link to your XW because of your girls.
I wasn't judging at all....was just curious as to why you expected that conversation.
Totally get what you mean about it being surreal, though...…..yeah.....totally.
