Question - (11 October 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 11 October 2010)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

My man and his wife have been separated for 10 years and divorced for almost 3 (legal issues delayed the divorce). She still wants to be in contact with him even though he has repeatedly changed his phone number, she always gets the number somehow. I am sure he is not giving it to her, as I can go online and look at his cell phone bill (I know, sneaky). I know one time their son gave it to her. This time, its got to be one of his kids. Why won't she give up? She text him happy birthday. What gives? She is remarried (she married someone else while she was still married to my man, which he used as leverage to get the divorce. Has she not moved on? Does she just want to cause trouble? ???????

My mom was married to my dad only two or three years before they divorced. They have me in common and started out being "civil" to each other. Now, they get along great and call each other sometimes - because they had a child together.

There is nothing wrong with her wishing him a happy birthday as long as she's not trying to start up a romantic relationship with him again (and it doesn't sound like she is). It's important that she be able to contact him in case of an emergency with one of his kids, etc. It's going to be hard to keep his number a total secret if they have children together. The only way to keep her from contacting him at all would be for him to prove she's harassing him in some way to get a restraining order. But the fact of the matter is they have children together, so it's perfectly fine for them to be in contact.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I would think that changing your phone number several times would be a deterrent. He has no contact with her that i know of and yet she will not give up. He has nothing good to say about her.

petina1 agony auntThey may just be talking as friends now, they have a son in common so that could be why, to keep things on an even keel. Whatever the reason as long as it doesnt interefere with your marriage it shouldnt be a problem. I wonder if she has other motives. If it's causing problems with you then he must learn to let go of her.
