What is up with her?

My ex-wife and I got a divorce 6 years ago. We haven't spoken since the final Court Hearing in February 2002. Since that time my ex has gotten a job as a teacher and my small business has grown from one truck to three and from only myself working it to...

having four employees. When we were married we lived in a one room apartment and she attended school while I supported our modest lifestyle with my trucking business. Stress overcame the both of us and the mariage ended in a bitter divorce. Although no restraining orders have ever been placed on either of us we both chose to have zero contact and have not spoken since the divorce. Thic morning while I was loading one of my trucks I saw her drive by the facility, turn around, and come back to engage in a little mindless small talk. then she said she had a meeting and left just as abruptly as she appeared. Can you explain why she might do this? I still love this woman and would not hesitate trying to rekindle those flames. I now have a nice home, secure business (which is doing quite well) and a dog named Spike (I know you don't need the info about Spike but I didn't want to leave him out). I am confounded as to why she would go out of her way to say Hi to someone she hasn't spoken to in 6 years.

P.S. I am 36 and she is 32

my thought would be, she came to say hello so not to be ignorant, it would be nice to think you could get her back but i realy would not get my hopes up if i was you. she may have thought (its been 6 year so we may be able to talk with out fighting) and just wanted to say hi

Financial stress can ruin a relationship, no question. She might still be interested. Considering how things ended, was the money issue the only one that ended things? Eg, no going out - because of money - no time together because working too hard etc?

In that case, I'd try to give her a ring say hi. Maybe mention that even though work is going well, you haven't had the heart to try to date anybody (um, try to be subtle, etc)...

As for why she might stop by out of the blue, it's possible she misses you, as well - though might not want to admit it outright, given the way things ended between the two of you. Also, nobody wants to be perceived as being a gold digger, so if you are a lot more successful than her, it'd be more awkward (imho) for her to make the first move.

Good luck thanks for posting.

Divorced wifes can be simply curious of that how the former husband looks like, sorry but similarly to e.g. visiting a zoo, really, etc, without any resumption aim. Of course, they also can feel pity for the divorce, and after some trials with other men, they mind it nad would be happy to re-marry. If you still love her you might make the second step, since her appearence around you was the first step, but prepare yourself for a negative response.
