She's An EX For A Reason

I don't understand what makes some people tick. Some people's actions seriously confuse me at times. The other day my ex decided to call me to congratulate me on my wife being pregnant with our first child. While on the surface that may seem innocent, I don't think so. She's always been a very calculating person, whose never done something because she wanted to, she's always had an angle. If she was truly just trying to say congratulations to my wife and I....why not call my wife? She's the one actually having the baby. You have her number, the two of you were friends at one point. So there in lies the problem, she figured she could call me under the guise of congratulating me, only to attempt to take a stroll down memory lane and spend some time reminiscing about what could have been; despite the fact that the last time we had any communication I told her I never wanted to talk to Her again....and NOT to call me). Now if I had heard from her while I was only dating the woman who would eventually be carrying my child and have my ring on her finger for the last four years, then things might have been a different story....and that's what she was hoping for. She assumed that I was the same arrogant, pompous jerk that she knew a long time ago.

What irritates me the most is that she thinks I'm the same guy she used to date and that the same way she used to try to charm me into doing what she wanted, could still possibly work on me today. I've grown up, matured, and I'm happily married....4 years strong with a baby on the way and I don't plan on allowing anything or anyone mess that up!

Here's the kicker, she's married....has been even longer than I have and she has a child.

She doesn't think I know but I already know her and her husband are having problems in their marriage and he's walked out on her a few times. It's not a walk in the park in that household and she's seeing that the grass is greener over here. Unfortunately for her the feelings I used to have for her died a long time ago....before I even met my wife. And now that I'm building my family and am truly happy, she wants to "keep in touch" all the sudden because she heard from my, big headed, not so bright cousin (who happens to be really good friends with the EX) that I'm having a baby and wanted to share her genuine joy and excitement for me....while at the same time attempting to subliminally plant the seeds of doubt in my head that maybe we would've been very good together.

Can someone please tell me why would an ex do that? I mean I know her marriage is crap and she knows it too. Bit why attempt to cause disruption or division in a happy marriage???

I guess the saying "MISERY LOVES COMPANY" is still relevant today. At least it is with this chick...and I refuse to end up like her....separated, sleeping in different beds, trying to drag someone else's relationship into the mud with you.


Remember.....You're Worth It.
