I'm really impressed!
Just had to share. I quickly checked my emails this afternoon when I was in the city & guess who I'd received a email from... My ex's girlfriend. I was a bit stunned that she'd sent me a email but I think it took guts & I think it's cool.
The email:
"Hi Rachel,
I thought I would write you an email just to get a couple of things off my chest. First of all I wanted to apologize if I seemed rude or not friendly on Saturday. I guess I felt really awkward in that situation. It is my fault because there was no need for me to be like that. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable in anyway. I know its been a hard time for all of us and believe me I know what you went thru because I went thru that with my ex husband.
[My ex] and I are always here if you need anything so please keep in touch with both of us. You can send emails to [my ex's] hotmail or Yahoo which I'm sure you know the address only cos I don't know for how long he will be at [where he works].
Oh I also wanted to let you know that you looked beautiful on sat along with all the other bridesmaids.. I really liked the colour and the design of the dresses.
Anyways I hope that we can all remain friends. I know that initially it was tough to even be in the same room with each other but I believe its getting better and hopefully when you come back you can come visit us and see our place and meet our puppy Rexie although by that time he won't be a puppy anymore.
Have a safe trip and remember to have fun!"
My reply
"Hey ...,
Thanks so much for that. It's really cool that you emailed me :o)
I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable on Saturday, I just needed closure on it all. I was really happy that you guys said hi to me & that I got to have a chat with Steve & then when you left I was so happy that you came up to me to say good bye. I really didn't want to go overseas with things been weird.
I truly believe that things happen for a reason & hope that you & Steve will be really happy together. I've
moved on with my life & are happy... now ;) You're right it did take awhile for it all to sink in, but like I said I truly do wish you all the best.

Keep in touch & take care,

She responded:
Oh I'm so glad you replied honeslty I felt nervous about sending you an email cos I thought you were gonna get angry. I had a look at your site and it seems so cool that you get to go off and travel on your own. I'm sure you're gonna have a ton of fun plus remember to shop heaps!
The wedding pics turned out very nice indeed. Hopefully they are having fun on there honeymoon.
Well it was great that we got closure on this.. If only my ex was as nice as you. Unfortunetly he has a whole pride issue where he won't talk to me because I'm with [my ex]. Anyways I'll make sure I keep your link so we can see what your up to.. Are you gonna post pics on there?
We'll also let you know how things are in sydney.. Probably boring as usual!"
I responded:
"Cool, I'll look forward to hearing what's going on here :o) When I was traveling around Oz everyone forgot to tell me all the little things that were going on at home & that's what you miss the most!
I'm really excited about my trip :o) I'm a little nervous though but I'm sure it'll be fine. I've still got to put my Oz photos on the site (I've loaded the east coast ones, there's a link on the right hand side), I've just been to busy... or is that lazy ;)
I'm not angry, far from it, I'm actually really glad that you emailed me. I have no hard feelings about anything, life's to short to dwell on the bad things. I'm sure you're ex will come round in time. Sometimes it's really hard to figure out what you're feeling. I know that Steve & I are happier not together & for me that's really all it comes down to.
Thanks again,
Rach"
I hope neither of my replies sound fake cause it's honestly how I feel. Like I said I think it took a lot of guts for her to email me. I feel so good about it all now it's not funny :o) I think it would have been nice to have receive a similar email form my ex but hey, it's no dig deal.
