So STBXH has our son for a few days in the state he resides in. Yesterday was the only day in the last week that he did not contact me. I have heard from him every single day, either about our son or my birthday. Well, now he is sending me pictures of my son AND him together, that I did not ask for.

Is this the "Hoover" chapter in the way ward manual? Divorce is filed and will be final 11/13/13 as long as he doesn't contest anything.

Its either in the Hoover section or the "Hey look - we're friends, see? I'm not such a fucktard! I'm a good guy!".

Let him knock himself out - no response, no engaging, nothing.

In my experience 'nice' usually means some massive fuckery is being thrown my way soon - very soon.

Strong has excellent perspective here. My kids are older, so when their dad sends cutesy little texts about what they do, I read them and move on. No response needed as there was no legitimate question asked.

I think it's a part of the "Look at me! I'm such a great guy!" chapter. Alternately titled "The Delusional Asshole."

My ex has done the same. 9/10 times he does anything with the kids he feels the need to send me a picture of them. I don't mind and will send a thank you or something but a couple of times he sent one of himself with the kids. No response from me. I hope he got the point.
