Suspect call from husband's ex-girlfriend

Hi,

Few days back we recieved 2-3 calls from an unknown number but from the same place where my husband used to live before, but that person did not leave any messages. I suspect it must have been his ex. She used to write emails, once in 5-6 months, but my husband never ever replied her back. I trust him and he is simply a wonderful person. But, I dont trust that girl.
I would never want her to call us or try to contact us.

Please advice what do I do? This thing really bothers and depresses me a lot..Should I call and find out who called us? If yes? How do I approach?

I wouldn't worry too much at this stage. If it was her she might have just hit a low or been pi**ed or something, and will have got over her weak moment. If she is going to start stalking you will soon find out.

It's just as likely not even her. Sometimes these telesales people call and hang up if they get a female voice when it is a male they are after.

If you call back and it is her, what are you going to say? You could be making a rod for your own back by starting up a dialogue with her.

You trust your DH so try not to worry. If she starts pestering him he will deal with it if he is the wonderful person you say.

Hi Tracy - if the number was unknown/witheld, how do you know it was from the place your husband used to live?

I would steer well clear of calling this woman. If you really do trust your husband then rely on the fact that even if his ex did call and speak to him he would probably tell her to get lost. If you did call her what would you say or do?

How long ago did they split up? I still keep very vaguely in contact with an ex- we split up 10 years ago. Dh knows him as well (we were all at college together) and we exchange emails every 4 months or so. There's nothing in it.

Why does it bother you so much if you trust your dh? I wouldn't call though- doesn't seem to be much point.
