Thank you, everyone. I greatly appreciate your support! I needed to get affirmation that I'm not nuts for feeling the way I do.

He has helped her with the TV twice simply because he was storing a lot more than crystal at her house, and in chunks, has taken it all out now except for the crystal.

The last time he had to go fix her TV, he was just playing nice so that she wouldn't do anything cruel or break his belongings, which she is known to do.

At that point, I had firmly stated that he needs to get the last of it out. of her house and be done with it. He needs my help packing up the crystals, and we haven't brought it up since. It's still the plan though.

But at this point, I AM livid. I am tired of her sticking herself into our lives like this and popping up every now and again.

It feels like she doesn't want him to forget her, OR that she wants to drive a wedge in between us. Maybe I'm reading far too into things, but that's my female instinct talking. It's just what my instinct tells me.

And every time she DOES pop up it does cause tension between he and I. He keeps telling me he's just playing nice. I know for a fact he has no feelings left for her though, so I don't worry at all about that possibility. She was severely abusive and even hit him many times.

But yeah, it's really annoying and really irksome at this stage. And I don't really think it's that appropriate for her to be contacting her ex in-laws since we're married now. They were never that close to begin with.

We can't go get the crystal now for obvious reasons, but last night I said as soon as this virus stuff blows over, we're heading over there to pack it up.

He also volunteered that once we DO get the crystal, that he will then let her know she is not to contact him again.

So at least I feel supported by my husband in this. He is also very annoyed and angered that she continues to contact him. And he understands my own annoyance.

But what do you all think? Do you think she is trying to drive a wedge between us by continuing to insert herself in our lives? Why else would the ex keep popping up, sending messages of prayers and asking for help with her TV? My husband doesn't think that's what she's doing, but I do.
