To think this was a bit of a weird thing to say?

[quirkycutekitch]

Exp auntie rang the house phone

Expa "hello is exp there?"
Me "no he's just left"
Expa "ok, how are you?"
Me "ok, how are you?"
Expa "ok, I might see you soon if you invite me over"
Me "erm .... Ok bye"

For a bit of context - we've never had a close relationship infact on quiet a few occasions I've felt like she doesn't like me. We split 7 months ago - 1ds. I'm still in our joint house at the moment.

I've literally has about 2 texts from her since we split. In what world does she think I'm going to invite her over?

Maybe she wasn't really expecting you to invite her over but felt awkward with the situation.
At least she was trying to be friendly.
That's how I would read it anyway.

She probably just felt awkward and was just trying to be friendly.

I felt 'got at' rather than friendly - argh hate that some of my limited energy is being taken up by this playing on my mind!

Sorry but I think she was trying to be friendly too. It's really awkward when things break down for the other side of the family. The fact you've had 2 texts means something. I had nothing from various exp's family and friends.

I guess if her & his mum weren't so bitchy (I know how they talk about the brothers' girlfriends) I'd think it was friendly too.

alice I've had a whole load of nothing from others too. It's just so rude isn't it! What does it take to text & say "sorry to hear what's happened with you & exp"

This does seem like she's really trying to make some effort. I've never had ANY contact from any of exp's family (except his mum demanding I divorce him 'no fault').
But maybe she doesn't know what to do. Does she apend much time with DS?

I'd see it as meaning she'd like to keep in touch; but only if you want to? it's not odd at all.

Haha sea I'm guessing from that comment there was some 'fault'!

Yes she sees DS about twice a week.

I guess it must be me then -

Sounds like my partners mum, lol. I often get 'you don't come to visit very much'. She lives a 5 min car journey away. She drives. I do go there but only with DP as the one time I popped in on my own 6 years ago she left me on the doorstep and said 'what are you doing here?' She didn't let me in.
She knows where we live. In the last 7 years she must have come over a whole 5 times in total.
