He sent my family a Christmas card
| Thu, 12-23-2004 - 7:44pm |
Not sure whether to be angry...opened the mail today and there was a card from him, addressed to my husband, me and my daughter (in that order). It said simply that he wished us a happy holiday. What the heck???!!! I felt sick when I saw it and started to throw it away when my husband said, "Oh, you're about to throw the card away with the envelope." And I said, "Oh, you're right," and laid it on the counter. I can't say why, but I felt there was something arrogant about that.

It was rather snotty of him to send it, but it don't mean jack so don't let it bug you, what can I say he's a dickhead.
Thanks for you vote but I expect that I P/O more people then I please around here.

I also received a Christmas card addressed to myself and my children from xMM. He also enclosed a pretty generic "wish you well" note. Nothing personal. Got an email Christmas card from him today. The email card was also very generic. I broke my NC and sent two words in return... "thank you". I did not refer to the phone calls which have not stopped yet, but yesterday and today, it was only one call each day. If I were to refer to those calls, that would be his invitation to resume talking to me. I won't do that.
I don't know if they are trying to keep us involved by doing this or if it is just some mind game.
Just take it for what is was worth... a holiday greeting to your family and give him no encouragement whatsoever.

Oh, Newsgal - you are talking to the QUEEN of drunken idiotic events!! If you recall, I use to go out w/ friends, get drunk and call xOM...that's how we ended up 'together' a little over a month ago. I learned that alchohol does very, very bad things to you! Hence, I only drink now when I am with my H :-)...at least until I can learn to be a big girl and not call him ;-)
I think his card was very inappropriate and just meant as a 'reminder'. :-p on him!

Diva,
I edited it because it was too embarassing...I guess you saw it (but if somebody hadto, glad it was you). I think I better goto bed. stpuid eggnog.
Diva, my friend gave me a taming your gremlin book...it is cute. You should look it up. :-)
My H said the eggnog was too strong and dumped it out ubt it all tastes the same to me. No more eggnog for me! better go back to my green tea. Hmmm...I really want to slap him right now. xOM, not the tea. Ha. ha.
Oooh these guys think they're so smoothe. There was nothing generic about him sendingyou a crhistmas card or email. i am putting my card in the garbage right now while my husband is nin bed. Gotta go to bed now myself. I am never having eggnog again.
You know, he even addressed it simply with our last name, emphasizing the family unit, you know. myabe he feels guilty for preying on it. or maybe its his ego and he's trying to show me this is where i belong. oooh, makes me furious. enough energy wasted on him tonight. i am dedicating tomorrow to not thinking of him at all!
:-) We all need evenings like that!! Sounds like you had a fun night - and I'm sure you needed it after that lovely card :-)
Try not to think to much about the movie...and don't watch it ever again...well, at least not for a REALLY long time :-)
I will definitly have to check out that book! Sounds good...MY gremlins NEED taming! My friend gave me a shirt for xmas that said, "Boys lie and kind of stink" TOO CUTE!! H even thought it was funny!!
Enjoy you're evening and go back to tea tomorrow...ya know, drunk nights sometimes make for some heated bedroom escapades with hubby...just a thought! ;-)

What is the deal with that movie? Is it about having an affair? What is it about. Now I'm curious and want to see it. I can't picture Bill Murry in a serious role.
I got news but i'm going to post it on a separate thread.

I hope you are not feeling too bad this morning....
They are smooth. Got another hangup this morning and right after, the phone rang again. I picked it up and said nothing, then I heard "hello?" Yup, him. We talked for a moment and I said nothing about the hangups. He said he just wanted to wish me a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. He asked what I was doing to celebrate the holiday and I told him... be with my family, of course. I asked him and he replied that he was spending it with his wife's family. Nice, for a couple about to be divorced, eh? Anyway, that does not matter. I wished him happy holidays and said I had a lot of stuff to do, then hung up.
What DOES matter is that we spend quality time with our families and loved ones (except those we should not be loving).
Merry Christmas!
Edited for darn typo's...
