Little nitpicky things, then little good things

Why does she even call if she doesn't have anything to say? She's called twice this morning already. I didn't pick up the phone, and she didn't leave a message. We've received no emails from her either. Why even call? She obviously didn't have anything important to say or she would have left a message or sent it through email.

The emails from her to me have slowed down, though, thank goodness. I'm impressed. Ignoring her really is working. I wholeheartedly suggest that any of you experiencing problems with a jealous psycho ex do the same! You'll never thank yourself more for anything else you've done, especially if you've let her hound you and you've played into her games in the past. Ignoring her is the best thing I could have ever done for myself other than stopping smoking. I have so much more free time, I am less stressed, communication with BF about SS, BM, or the situation is much more open, and I don't worry myself with trying to please her anymore. I wish I had been doing this from the beginning. Think of how different things would be!

Here's a little exerpt from a response to the poll "Would you marry your spouse again if you knew then what you know now" that pertains to this:

BM emailing us used to be a burden. BF used to hate the fact that I talked to her but I did anyway because I thought that maybe I could get my point across. I used to talk to her online for hours because she never stopped emailing me and never had any regard for my feelings or anything I said. I would threaten to not speak to her again but I never followed through. Now, I haven't spoken to her in weeks. I never realized before that all I had to do was Stop and not let myself respond to anything. She's never going to care about what I say, so now I say nothing. I am so pleased with the results from this! Her emails nowadays have become something to laugh about between me and BF. We get one or two a day and joke about the content instead of getting frustrated about it like we used to. I can honestly say that both of our lives are so much better since I've stopped talking to her. I have a lot more free time, too!

that's great...the more you ignore and less contact w/her the less you have to think about her and her questions. like you said why would she care about what you say to her. i'm glad you and your BF can laugh about what she says from time to time. my husband just strongly thinks she's stupid. i don't have to do much in convincing him that she is lost.
