Am I jumping to conclusions?

My husband’s Grandmother has recently passed and she was loved by so many, including his ex of 5-6 years. My husband proceeded to tell me that his ex would like to come to the funeral which was held yesterday and I was happy that she could, honestly! My son was playing games on my husbands phone when her text messages came through today. He reached out to her first to say thank you for coming to the funeral. She responded that she hopes it didn’t offend anyone. He responds back to let her no there were no worries. I don’t have a good feeling about this texting back and forth today. Why couldn’t this had been said at the funeral yesterday instead of this afternoon. Am I wrong?

Yes based on what you say it's just a simple plain text convo.

Is there something you are worrying about?

Thank you for your response! Worried his ex might think more into the picture with him responding today after speaking with her yesterday at the funeral and thanking her again also. Just needed some clarity.

Well I agree your DH texting her to thank her for coming was unnecessary but if that exchange is the end of their communication then I don't think there is any thing for you to worry about.

But I think if their messaging each other continues then I think you would have cause for concern.

Completely agree 👍 you have put my mind at ease and i will trust that it won’t continue. Thank you 🙏

What @Timeandemotion said.

Talk to your DH if you are worried

I spoke to him and let him know that I was uncomfortable with the texting conversations. He apologized and now I feel like I have jumping to conclusions and feel bad for it, but something in my gut is just unsettling.

At least you had the conversation with him.

I've stayed in touch with exes after they married I've always made sure their wife was ok with it. There was never anything more than a loose friendship, i.e. family news, congrats for promotion, new baby etc. so it might not be anything to worry about

That’s great and how I would like it to be for us as well. Unfortunately, this was our first encounter with each other but she was very pleasant as well as I. Thank you again and I will continue to pray that it goes no farther and he respects my wishes.

Really don’t see a problem here at all.

I don’t see any issues here at all either
