Friends with the Ex?

Finally may have actually broken up with my ex husband after 37 years of being friends or at least that's what I thought. Actually I guess he just wanted me to think there was a possibility we might get back together again.

I wanted to get back together again because after I became a Christian I believed this is what God wanted so I stuck with that hope for a long time. Even though I knew we could not be together without some major changes I kept believing.

Needless to say it didn't happen and after our last contact maybe he will actually stop wanting to have anything to do with me. Sparing you the gory details I guess you finally find out the truth about people. That is he never really cared about me at all or if he did it was pretty superficlal, because now even the friendship is off. It felt like a divorce again, and I guarantee that is painful, but necessary, apparently, for me, in order to move on.

I unfriended him off facebook because it hurt me to see all these pictures of him with women. He knew I was still in love with him and kept wanting to let me know all I was was a memory. About a year later he sent me a friend request, I don't know why. I ignored it for awhile. Then after noticing he would not reply to texts or return phone calls, I confronted him about it.

Saying basically, "If you are going to want to do these kinds of things, at least be polite and respond to a text or return a phone call." But he wouldn't do it. We had a brief conversation on facebook messaging, the jist of which was basically failure to communicate, period. Asked him to call over the holidays. He didn't. So I think I'm actually free now, but I think it's too bad if a person wants to be a friend on facebook but can't be a friend in reality, especially after 37 years.
