Cat-astrophes

Is it really appropriate for 'exes' to send Christmas Greetings? I know intrinsically there is nothing wrong with it. So why am I reacting so negatively to a cutesy-wutesy card? Is it simply because I partly never want to hear from the person again? (There is no unforgiveness here, I just have no desire to maintain any contact.) Is it because of what was written?

"The best part of my year was getting to know you..."

Go jump.

Is it because it reminds me that I'm still single? (I don't think that's the one) Is it because I'm overly cautious that he's trying to keep his options open (so to speak)? Is it because I over-analyse...?

Bingo.

The funny thing is, when I saw his name my reaction was 'who??'. The same thing happened about a month ago when he called.

'Sorry, but who is this?'
'.... Guess'
'Jonno?'
'no'
'Bob'
'no'
'Lenny?'
'no'
'Dave?'
'no....'.

He seemed a bit offended. Pffft...when I move on, I move on! Total memory erasure.

Nothing constructive to say, just had to vent.
