I don’t think it’s weird. I’m still friends with one of my ex’s parents. They’re great people and have always treated me really well.


Count me in this group. I see my ex-in-laws fairly often due to activities for my eldest. During the holidays my ex-fil thanked me for being a great dad and apologized for me having to go through all this shite with his daughter.

This is the correct answer.

She's probably trying to figure out when you going to go ahead and come out of the closet to your parents.

my mother and my father's mother exchanged cards every year until my grandmother passed. They got divorced in 91, and she passed away in 2005.

I could see my mother doing this for a particular ex-SO of mine--nevermind the fact I've been married for almost 18 years.

She either wants to get with your brother


Or


She's a transgender who wants to get back with you

I'm just curious as to why she does it.


Only way to determine why is by examining pics of her.

She got to know them and liked them.

I liked my college gf's mother.
Truly gracious.

My former wife and one of her ex's would not only exchange Christmas cards, but would get on the phone and sing Christmas duets together (Reason #732 I left her).

Now that I think about it, this is spot on.

My ex and her mom recently started liking my pics and what not and her sister hasn't stopped sending me snap chats of random things she's doing in every day life.

Oh, the ex has a BF now too. Lol

Yeah, that’s what it seems like. There was still love there when we split up, but I had a lot of personal stuff that I was struggling with and over time it just seemed like more of a really good friendship and there was no spark. Sometimes I think I made a mistake in ending things, but I didn’t want to be selfish. frick, life is hard and you don’t learn till after you’ve made your mistakes.

It's the exact same when people create social media accounts in hopes of one day rekindling an old relationship with someone they've lost contact with. I work with 2 people who did this. Both had marriage problems, left their husbands to give the old flings a chance and both didn't last past 2 months. They were both women just a FYI. They deny that's why they had a social media account but that's exactly how they started contact. It's them carrying a little flag to say hey, I'm still here. No different than a Christmas card.


Yeah I think a little of this. Just being honest, her husband seems like a nice guy, but he’s got nothing on me in terms of looks and doing masculine shite outdoors. Not trying to yank my own chain, but it’s true.

more normal to not, but I’ve always found it generally weird to be close to some people for a period of time then have zero contact like they’ve never existed.


Yeah it really sucks, man. I loved her family.

This is spot on. She is not letting go and has not completely moved on. She is trying to hide it with “just being nice” which is just an excuse to continue some form of contact.
