Just because you don’t talk to a certain ex anymore doesn’t mean there’s any hard feelings…

A lot of people just grow apart and once a relationship is over, it’s really OVER.

That’s the way this guy feels, but people in his life are giving him a hard time.

Is he a jerk?

Read his story and see what you think.

AITA for not calling my ex-wife

“I was married for well over 20 years, separated over 4 years ago, divorced over 2 years ago, no minor children, no legal entanglements.

They had an abrupt ending.

Everything was her idea, I was blindsided.

She was prepared and not exactly fair but I don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t want to be with me.

Fast forward to about 2 weeks ago and people we knew / know have begun to ask me; Have you spoken with ex? Hey, what’s ex up to? Ever think about giving ex a call? Maybe ex wants to hear from you.

Weird…

The strangest one came from one of her immediate family members whom I haven’t spoken with or had any contact with since shortly after the separation.

Now yesterday, one of her really good / best friends reached out and told me to quit being an ******* and just call the ex.

I have absolutely no interest in doing that nor am I even curious about what the hell is going on.

AITA?”
