"Hmmm" Tuesday

Well....

I am trying to decide how to approach this.

EX- GIRLFRIENDS!!!!! Heck even EX-BOYFRIENDS (for those who don't have the other.)

How do I feel about them? Well.. Here is the thing, if you are the "breaker up" then you're in the clear. If you're the "broken" then does it mean that you need to stalk your ex?

If so when does the statue of limitations run out?

That I guess is what I really want to know. At what time frame do you know you will never get back together and you should just walk away? A week, a month, a year even, or better yet 6 years?

Case in point....

Tina's ex... Who we lovingly call "The Devil" cause she only contacts Tina on a full moon.
Send Tina a very long email, very long I guess and talked about how she gave up a good thing and that they should be back together and then, went on to talk about all the things that were wrong in their relationship and how Tina had done this and that and how it was all Tina's fault and then closed the email saying that she hoped we were doing well but if not she is waiting for Tina to come back to her.
(lets think about this...)

How long has it been? Good question....
6 years in May. So is the statue of limitations off? Isn't 6 years long enough.
Well we can always handle emails, we get one about once a year asking for Tina back.

But..... she freaked Tina out good, she sent her a dozen long stem red roses.. At her place of work. (Note here, Tina has never told her where she is working).

Tina was freaked out enough, not to tell me about it, (afraid the southern side of me would be angry beyond words.) and she changed how she left the office to get to her car.

What did she do with the flowers you ask, well she took them to the cancer ward and left them there. She didn't want them. At all... (yes I know she loves me)

Last night as we were settling into bed, Tina told me all off this. We don't have secrets, she was just worried I would be extremely angry. Well.. She was/is right. I am a bit angry but not at her.

6 years.. Isn't that some clue?

So the question that Tina asked me... What would I do? Respond to the email, or just ignore it?

What do you think?

My standing line was to pretend you were some guy and respond saying you don't know this Tina person and that you live in Ohio, are a bull wrangler and that you think she needs a real man to show her the ways of the world... (yeah this is what Tina was afraid I would respond like. However I don't have her email address so this ex is safe).

How am I about all of this... I am ok, I know Tina loves me. Don't doubt that in the least, just know she is a bit scared as well. We have never had good luck with our ex's..
Mine.. She was a bit bent out of shape that I chose Tina over her and all that, so for about 3 months she kept calling or emailing me. Then... She caught a clue and moved on.

Really moved on, she now is married to a man and move to NC and lives about 40 minutes away from my folks. Yeah lets just say we don't have luck with ex girlfriends.

The funny part of this all.. Is that when we use to get notes from our ex's it was always about the same time. About a week apart, if not days apart. That was what was so strange. Had to be the moon.

So .. I am ok, worried about Tina, and know she is upset with this all. But other then that, I don't feel jealous except for the fact that I didn't do the flowers, but.. Tina is with me, she is happy and we have a good life.

But what would you do?

Respond or ignore her?
