Advice please

Someone is asking me for advice and I need to ask you guys first. Good, kind advice only.

Mary and Jane are cousins.

Jane divorced six years ago.

Mary recently texted the ex husband of Jane recently (six years later) to say she was sorry she hadn’t sent this message six years ago, but she wanted him to know she was sorry things didn’t work out and she wished him well.

Jane found out Mary reached out to the ex while the ex called Mary back in the presence of Jane and her new husband. But Mary didn’t answer the call. it was Siri that announced the caller.

Jane phoned Mary later that evening snd asked why Mary reached out to the ex all these years later. Jane said the ex had not been the nice guy everyone thought he had been and that she left him because he had been abusive but didn’t feel the need to announce it to the world

Mary got defensive and wouldn’t listen to Jane’s point of view and the call ended on bad terms


Now Mary is calling me asking for advice and I need some backup plans from you guys before I return that call

Thanks in advance.

I hate being dragged into stuff and I won’t take sides

if you feel like you have to be part of this start with questions.

ask Mary what she hoped to accomplish by sending the message.

Find out if Mary has feeling for Jane's ex. (the message is sus)

Mary at somepoint will have to reconcile to Jane why she made the contact and more interesting why the ex bothered to call back.

Jane is oddly not a part of this / she has remarried and moved on.

@robertsnj I don’t want to be involved. Mary has been texting and calling me

@Jenny1234 that is much easier situation. dont' be helpful. call her back / get it over with and tell her you have no idea what to do. why does she want your help?

@robertsnj because she knows I’m closer to Jane than she is that’s the only reason I can think of. Plus, I was there in the car when Jane’s ex-husband called
