My Ex’s New Wife Found My Facebook Account to Ask Me One Question – I Was Baffled When I Read It

I’m 32. You can call me Maren. I typed this story the same way I would’ve texted a friend at 1:47 a.m., because even now my brain keeps going, “Nope. That didn’t happen.”

Let me explain.

“Nope. That didn’t happen.”

I hadn’t spoken to my ex-husband, Elliot, in almost two years.

We were together for eight years, married for five. We had no children, but not by choice. Elliot was infertile. Or at least that’s the story he told me, doctors, and eventually friends, until it became the truth we lived inside.

Our divorce was brutal but final.

Papers were signed, and arrangements with lawyers were made. We blocked each other everywhere afterward.

I rebuilt my life. That’s what I told myself I did.

Or at least that’s the story he told me, doctors, and eventually friends…

Then last Tuesday, my phone buzzed while I was half-watching a rerun and folding laundry I’d already put off for days.

It was a Facebook message request from a woman I didn’t recognize.

Weary, I did a quick background check without reading the message.

Her profile picture looked harmless. She had a soft smile, dark-blonde hair pulled back, and a neutral background that could’ve been anywhere. Nothing alarming.

Until I saw her last name.

Weary, I did a quick background check…

It was the same as Elliot’s!
