I think offering him lunch would be a very nice gesture to say thanks.

Oooh, I'd love to know why you say that.  (You don't need to answer.) 

 

But I met a woman at a wedding this weekend and she told me all these horrible stories about her ex.  She went on and on.  I was mortified.

 

Then she said she would marry him again in a heartbeat, if she could.  I found out later this week, he is deceased.Woman Embarassed

 

ETA:  him again

@rms1954 Oh good grief. Sometimes people just want to get some feedback, nothing wrong with that/ You've posted a lot about your situation so I can understand why you react as you do when people ask for advice.

what does everyone think of this? I asked my ex husband if he would come over and put plastic on my picture window.he actually agreed for Sunday afternoon.so,do you think I should feed him lunch for his generosity?he is also invited christmas day to my house along with our daughter and grandchildren.


@Luvsmyfam I would say "Thank you. I really appreciate it." and leave it at that. 

 

Anything else seems not necessary to me and might be mis-interpreted by others.  He is coming for Christmas.  That's enough.

Since he's doing a chore for you which you apparently can't do, I think the least you can do is give him lunch.

I'm surprised anyone would ask this question regarding someone they were supposedly married to. Knowing someone so intimately, why would one need advice on how to handle something so mundane?

 

Nothing wrong with asking, just strikes me as odd....

I gave my feedback as others did.  It's too bad you interpreted it differently.  Just tried to instill her confidence and feel secure in them.  You're response was unkind.  I posted in the past about my situation but I don't ask for advice.  I don't think you know or understand me at all.
