You are blessed to have an ex like this, mine had news our 3 year old was being tested for Leukaemia, stole $3000 off me then vanished for 12 months, turned up a week ago, said he would give that money back to me, just stole another $3500.

Honestly I wouldn't have even bothered asking if he hadn't taken it back when everything happened. And don't get upset over no reply, it's lazy yes but not nasty. Just take it as a no. Just communicate about the kids from now on and keep it at that.

Get over yourself babe. You're hurt because you're ex didn't get back to you about a heater. Just sell it. If he wants one he knows where the shop is

Don't worry, it just sell the heater and anything else that belongs to him.
I tried to stay civil with my ex, I sent text messages about the kids. Stuff like if they were sick, got an award at school, if there was something on at school he might like to attend. I usually got ignored then told to please give him space. I don't text him at all now so he misses school events, doesn't know if they are sick. If the kids have something on he only finds out from the child when he picks them up. Now he gets annoyed that I don't tell him anything.

Maybe he just wants nothing to do with you??
If he did ring regarding health of the child, that's great, but maybe he personally doesn't even want you sending him any texts?
Sometimes when you breakup, people just want to get you out of their lives. Hurts but it's the way it is

I would do the same if I didn't really want to talk to someone. Sorry

Awkward... i think its clear he doesn't want you to keep contacting him unless it's pertaining to your children is all, that's not nasty.

Oh that’s not nasty. It’s a heater, sell it. It’s been two years if he wanted it he would have it by now, there’s been a few winters in the last two years. Are you feeling lonely and possibly looking for reasons to message him? I used to miss having someone around to support me when my little ones were unwell. It’s tiring looking after unwell kids. I found it hard being at the hospital , sleeping there myself knowing my other child was missing us, worrying about my unwell child and just wanting a hug myself.
❤️❤️❤️

Maybe he left his phone in the car or left it on silent after a doctors appointment like I always do. If he’s being a jerk, stop contacting him unless it has to do with the kids. Sell the heater.

You're pissed over a gas heater??? He rang about the child's health. Get over I

Unfortunately not every One can be civil after separating, and you try to be considerate but I think in your case you shouldn’t bother and if he kicks up a stink at least you can say you tried

I wouldn’t say that’s nasty. I’d say that means he doesn’t want it. Sell it and move on without
Creating drama where there’s none.
