Why not just let it go. I emailed back, and she emailed back 2 times. I just asked how are you, your mom and sister? I don't want to talk to her on the phone. Why is there a need for her to catch up or visit? That's crazy. Really who cares what her or I have been up to in the last 7 years? Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed. I moved on 7 years ago. Why try to suck me back in? I can't be sucked back in, because I have no positive feelings. Should I just talk and tell her I have a new life? A serious relationship and not looking to go back?
Can't be sucked back in? Seems like she got you to respond .

I think most all of us have done this to some extent. People do this because they're bored, or want attention, or want to see if they've done better/worse, or want to remember the good old times, or maybe just want to see if it's possible to rekindle things. Could be all sorts of other reasons too.

I would ignore further communication. If you don't care about her, why bother replying?

I broke up with my ex 12 years ago, and a few years after we broke up, he had his friend add me on Myspace (this was right before facebook became huge). She then told me I should check out my ex's page...I don't know why, I guess out of curiosity I looked, and saw that he knocked some girl up & married her. Good for him. Not too much time passed before he contacted me himself & ASKED if I saw his profile...he was a very immature person and I think he was trying to make me jealous? Not sure...I exchanged the old pleasantries (how are you, what's new, etc) and never spoke to him again. Luckily he hasn't tried to contact me either. I do regret ever adding his friend or responding to him.

An ex is usually an ex for a reason. I started talking to an ex once again in the past and then we got back together again and he became an ex again for the same reason he was an ex in the first place.

Now he is blocked from my life in every way possible.

She replied again. I was replying before out of (morbid) curiosity and to be polite. Decided I don't want to keep up the back and forth communication, so I deleted all the emails. Old news is so boring. I'm happy with my life now and don't care about what she is up to.
