Being Weirded out

When I first met my husband about 12 years ago, he was married. No, it wasn't love at first sight or anything. I was dating his cousin and he, I thought was happily married. Apparently he wasn't so happily married after all, because him and his wife split up and eventually his cousin and I did too. In a little over 10 years of being together, I have not once had to face his ex-wife. Luckily for us, she was in NJ while we were in OH and until we moved to NJ, 9 years ago, she was forgotten.

Well last year we moved back to our hometown area and from what we had heard she was in the area too. I told him it was only a matter of time until we ran into her. He's seen her dad several times at work, but luckily in the year we have not seen her, until last week.

Last week he calls me and says, it took a year, but guess who I ran into? Yep, that's right his ex. Not only did he see her, he had to wait on her too. Now I know that there are no feelings there anymore, and I know that I have nothing to worry about, however it just weirded me out.

I know the hurt that she caused him and the pain he went through when their marriage ended. She also ruined his credit, by not removing him from a credit card she had. I also realized that if it weren't for her, we might not be together. In a way, I am grateful to her, but in another way, I wish she wasn't around and wasn't part of his past.

And if that's not weird enough, our son, L, is in preschool with his ex-brother in laws daughter. D thought it could be him when he looked at the preschool list, however he wasn't sure, but stupid me asked when I picked L up from school yesterday and sure enough it is him. This doesn't bother me as much, just seems weird to me.
