Blackberry post-
Ever have one of those moments that aren't especially bad, yet not especially good? They leave you thinking "what was that all about?"
Today has been such a moment and I thought I'd share. I got a text last night from an ex of mine. "Can I see you tomorrow morning? There's something we need to talk about."
"Sure," I said hesitantly. This particular ex has been something of a psycho, but I was curious. I had another appointment that fell through, so she came and picked me up. Since I hadn't seen her in some time, there was the usual chit chat. Finally I just bored ahead and asked what was up? She admitted that she is getting married sometime this month. I wasn't surprised, but gave her my sincerest congrats. I noticed that she watched me closely.
She was waiting for a reaction and I really didn't have one. I was glad for her, if this is what she wants, but I wasn't upset, either. It was some kind of strange neutrality.
I think its possible she expected me to suddenly step up and claim her! Not going to happen. Eventually, we talked about other things, she brought me home, I gave her a hug and congrats again.
I am still puzzled about my own total lack of emotional response. I will have to think about it.

Having an emotional response would mean you were capable of emotion :)
All kidding aside, I think we just get to a point in life where so many other more pressing things have our emotions held hostage that we stop responding to the things we just don't see as all that important to us any longer. As for this particular scenario...an ex is an ex for a reason...so why would you want to lay claim to something that didn't work the 1st time anyway?
Just my two cents
