Back in the U.S.S.R
Steve, my ex-husband moved to Russia to work last August, illegally, for truck loads of cash, But I digress.
Steve and I have maintained a good relationship, neither of us feel any regret or remorse about ending our
marriage, it ended up as a mutual decision and not one that I have thought twice about anyway.
So he moved to Russia & the one of the first things I said to him was about coming back to Aussie with a Russian bride under his arm, or more to the point don’t be a fool, & keep your senses about you ( as many senses as Steve has anyway)..
Yesterday he text me asking if I had a copy of the divorce papers, and could I scan them and email them to him straight away.
I thought " that’s odd, he better not be getting hitched"… then he sent me a text tonight saying
" guess what , I am engaged"…
Whoa, first… nice touch, sending it out as a mass text, including your ex wife. Classy.
And second, …. You. Fucking. Tool.
I could be wrong, I mean, it could be true love and they might not be able to live without
each-other, but… seeing as they have known each-other for all of 8 weeks, and she pretty much asked him too ask her, its all sounding rather dodgy.
I didn’t / couldn’t reply without saying something nasty, so I didn’t reply at all.
Then 10 minutes later, I get a " what, you got nothing to say?" so I reply, "nothing that you want to hear"
He replied back with " Gee thanks, you should be happy for me, you don’t even know her,
so you can’t say anything, if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t write back"…
So I didn’t.
I mean… look I seriously am not bitter or feeling jealous or anything about this "engagement"…
if Steve got married again too someone that truly loved him, and would do anything for him…
then I would be the first person to congratulate him…
But I am feeling that he may be getting a little bit sucked in with this Russian girl.
Maybe…. maybe not.
I try to promise to not say " I told you so" until at least a month after she leaves him….
On my front, Dean & I are racking up our phone bills… have to cut back on that actually,
he is going to Europe on the 14th April, and won’t be back to the 6th May… which is a huge bummer.
But we have made plans for me to fly to Melbourne when he gets back to meet up, & see where things go…
I must admit, he has been on my mind alot… & me on his too by the sounds of things.
I have gotten over the weird factor… that he is a figment of my past… and we have just talked so much over the past 2 weeks.
Everyday for a couple of hours. Its really nice.
Its feeling good.
The dimples… the dimples are getting to me.
Thats it for now…
Kip.
Its a tough one. I was very skeptical (and embarrassed) when my dad married a woman he met in Thailand… but 11 years later, with a half sister and seeing my dad so happy I have changed my tune. Turns out it didn’t happen how I thought. You might get I-told-you-so rights and there’s no need to celebrate your ex getting married, but who knows? Maybe he won’t get royally ****ed over. Lets hope not.

Live and let live, I say. If it’s a mistake, so be it. If it’s the best decision of his life, good on him.
