Need a second opinion, Am I wrong here?

[cooking1969]

Short set up: Dated serious 1 yr, broke up in Nov. (lc), I started nc 1 week ago~

My ex who has sent an occasional email, getting less and less personal, but still believes that we are such great friends. I guess it is easy to give someone crumbs when you think they will be around when you need them.

She sent an email last week, very general and ended it with not a goodbye, but her office signature!!

Today I got this. You are supposed to email the person that sent it to you along with 5 others back and then they know that you are a great friend. Also if you sent to the other five, "your wish will come true and you will find love very soon". I found this very hurtful to send to some one that you know you are breaking there heart with ending a relationship. On top of that during last summer she had been chatting with some other men online and sent it to this other guys email address too. Insult to injury.

I DELETED IT! And it has shown me how thoughtless she is and self serving. She wanted me to send it back so that without having to talk to me her ego would be boosted by my return response. I now see her as a shallow and heartless individual.

AM I WRONG ON THIS ONE??

 

 

 

 

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;

Someone who changes your life just by being

part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until

you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe

that there really is good in the world.

Someone who convinces you that there really is

an unlocked door just waiting for you to open

it.

 

This is Forever Friendship.

This is the sacred RED ROSE.

 

You MUST pass this rose on to at least 5

people within the hour of receiving this rose.

After you do, make a wish. If you have passed

it on, your wish will come true and love will

come your way shortly. If not your life will

stay the same as it has always been. Just be

nice & pass it on....May we all be loved so

much.

 

Friend if I don't get this back I can take a

hint! How many people actually have 8 true

friends? Hardly anyone I know! But some of us

have all right friends and good friends!!!

 

Send this to 8 people or more and if this is

sent back to you then you know that you are a

true friend..

You are not wrong for feeling this way because...well... that is how you feel.

 

But I am pretty sure she is not being intentionally malicious. Unfortunately, dumpers often don't realise how sensitive the whole break up is for their ex.

 

I think the best thing to do is not to read toomuch into it and not to expect too much in the way of empathy from your ex.

Was it best for me not to send it back and delete it, or should I have done the whole reply to let her know what great friends we are?

I think the way you handled it is OK, you don't believe that this is the way to find out who your friends are and you are right. It's just a probably funny game, or maybe she just enjoyed the description of friendship done there and she forward it.
