How embarassing - XW thought she would be his only wife.

:?
I recently got engaged and my DF called his XW to tell her after he told the kids. At the time she congratulated him and asked if he told the kids and she wanted to know what they said. That was the end of the call. We were really happy because family members predicted that she would be upset.

So apparently that wasn't the end. She called again to talk and tell him that she did not feel that he should be marrying me. She said that she always thought she would be his only wife and she doesn't think he should be doing this. She claims that even though he has been mean to her recently (meaning actually wanting her to take care of the children when she's supposed to), she still loves him. He said he asked her what was the point of the call...and she said she just wanted to tell him her feelings.

I am amazed at this. I know she blames me for all her current problems because when I came along I stopped all the mooching and helped him file for CS. She's told our family therapist that she's jealous of me and blames me for her and DF not getting along anymore aka being to walk all over him and get over on him and the kids.

How embarassing. Wouldn't pride keep you from making a call like that? They don't get along at all and the only time they talk is when it concerns the kids or when she needs to try and convince him to agree to some scam that gets her out of paying child support. They were married for less than a year and he had to trick her to get the divorce because she wouldn't sign the papers. He had to tell her that they will get the divorce now, work on their problems, and then get married later. That was well over six or seven years ago and me and DF have been together for over 3 years. Oh yeah and now she's gay and only dates women.

Well I guess she had to give it a shot. Now she has, so that should hopefully be the end of it!

What's weird is that me and DF don't think for one minute she wants him. It's not like she said she wants to get back with him. We just think she doesn't want him to be happy or do "better" than she is. She is such a weirdo. I could never make a call that....if my EH got remarried, I don't think I would think about it for more than two minutes.

WOW!! I swear this sounds like I could have written it. Except for the gay part it sounds just like our BM aka THE COUGAR. lmao

I also could have written it.. minus the gay part. Our BM wanted DH back, actually called and begged him to come back even after we were living together. One night she called, it was(presumably) her 1st "encounter with a male" since DH, and asked DH to come pick her up from a nearby hotel. She told DH that once they (she and bootycall) reached the part of the "act" she got sick and threw up all over the poor guy, bc he was not DH!!!! -- OMG, Talk about embarrassing yourself... WHY WOULD ANYONE EMBARRASS THEMSELVES BY MAKING A PHONE CALL LIKE THAT???!?!?!? - If I recall correctly, DH didn't even wait for the rest of the conversation before hanging up on her.

I know she is jealous of me and blames me because she told our family therapist that and he then told me to explain some of her behavior. No one has ever said she still wants him. No one believes she does...that's why the phone call was bizarre as I explained above.

My DF just wanted the divorce and wanted her to sign the papers...she was making the entire process difficult. Not to mention, she has been physically, mentally, and verbally abusive to everyone from my DF to her kids to her own sister.

I have no idea about the divorce law in the state they were divorced in. You make think it's spineless, but it was the easiest and cheapest way to get her to sign the papers. She no longer wanted to be married, but she just wanted to hang on to the only stable thing in her life while she cheated and abused. So he tricked her when she refused to cooperate.... It got the result he desired. I have no problems with it and neither does he.

We are all in family therapy...me, df, the kids, and BM. She has not attended sessions with me and DF, but she has on her own and with the kids. The goal is to one day have all of us to attend together (not the kids), but it has not reached that point yet. I have no idea if she signed paperwork as I don't attend her sessions with her, but I know DF did at some point, but I think that had something to do with the therapist being able to talk to the kids school.

Even if I felt that way about an ex, I think I would keep it to myself. That's just not the kind of thing I would share with anybody, especially an ex that called me out of courtesy to say he was getting married. At that point I would try my best to put it out of my mind. Maybe start a new hobby. Something.
