Ex Hoovering?

Ex husband came to visit D at my house, whom he hasnt seen in 7 months. Re-cap-we divorced a year ago and I divorced him, although did not want to. He immediately moved in with a much younger woman and her 2 kids (her neice and nephew actually) and seemed happy as can be. this past weekend when he came to see D, we went out to dinner and these are some of the things he said
" my life is so exhausting", "I need to be in a padded room", "there is so much going on". I asked him if him and g.f's plan was to move and he answered "My plan is to move closer to you and D". He complained about all of the activities he is constantly driving kids around, church, etc. He said work is his "escape" from life..Funny, i thought all was happy in la la land.
Cant help but feel a little satisfaction. I also recognize I still have glimpses of feelings for this guy
what do you think about the info he is sharing with me?

Poor guy. His life sounds REALLY tough, what with adult responsibilities and all. Don't you just want to whisk him away from all the misery? (Why isn't there a smiley for sarcasm?!) Oh, these guys just make me so mad! They are shameless. Yes, as Sparrow says, he is throwing out a line. They play on our empathy and, unfortunately, sometimes it works.

He is throwing out the line. Don't bite! Leave him behind with the ow and all his sorrows. You are better than that! Stay strong! Otherwise you will relive your past misery.

I think you need to worry

I think you need to worry about what you do with you. He dishes out "scrambled eggs" trying to make sense out of non sense is a waste of time!! Hunter

I laugh every time you talk about scrambled eggs. My brother said the same thing about my Ex when I was dating him. I actually started referring to him as "Eggs" in conversation. Guess it makes sense that he was scrambled eggs, since I was always walking on freaking eggshells! :)

hoovering sucks

It sounds like you have mixed feelings about the divorce...and he does, too. Is he a narc? If he is, he is putting his toe in the pool to see if the water's warm. Make sure he feels the chill....
