    Simply e-mail her back and tell her not to send you any e-mails unless they involve your son. I can understand why you may not want to block her e-mails because of your son. If you block her, she may use this against you when she knows you should know something about your son. Sounds like she either considers you a good friend or she's still in love with you.

    Simply ask her to stop sending u anything that doesnt have to do with ur son.. tell her u gave her the email address as just another way of communicating with her about your son, and thats it..

    Tell her straight, write something like - "please remove me from your mailing list because I get so many jokes, I don't get a chance to go through them all and I will just end up deleting them".

    If she won't stop sending them, you can put a stop on her address (not sure who your subscriber is, or I could tell you how to do this) then you can send her emails, but she'll get a message at her end saying something like "this recipient is unable to receive mail at this time", so she'll have to take you off her mailing list.

    Tell her that u won't have time to go on the computer no more coz ur very busy but when u have the time you would call to ask about your son and nothing more or you can ask just to speak to him.

    She is doing this coz in a way she is saying the more i send u messages is how much she misses u.

    Good luck and smile* no worrys be happy...lol

    The easy answer is to ask her not to... I had to do this with several aunts who were internet newbies and forwarded anything they received to me, to the tune of 20+ a day!

    If you're too chicken to do that, you can joke with your wife about the nonsense you receive from all kinds of people and how you just don't have the time or inclination to read jokes via email... that you must be the exception to the rule because everyone does it! Maybe she'll get the hint.

    What's the big deal? In your In Box, just look at the Subject line and if it contains the word "Fwd" just delete it right there. That'll take out at least half of them. The rest of the spam she sends, delete it after you begin reading it and see that it's crap. Don't make a big deal out of this with her, because you want to keep getting emails about your son.

    This is right up my alley! I did the same thing, but for pictures of children only. He once sent me threating emails, I copied them, went to court and filed a motion. Attached the emails with the motion, we went to court and he has'nt sent me anymore since then. If she not giving you info about your son, take her to court! OR get another email address!!!!! Good Luck

    A great way to get your ex back is https://tr.im/YJivs

    They might realize they need you and come crawling back!

    If you do get back together, don't let the same issues that destroyed your relationship crop up again. Have a good, long talk about how you're both going to make it right this time.

  • Actually I feel sorry for her. I think she has not got over the divorce yet. Divorces can be hard to get over. Be nice...just delete her emails or block her.....don't hurt her anymore.....she is probably just trying to mantain contact with you....I hope she finds someone else to replace her memories of you in her life :-(

    I did that with my mom once. I told her straight up, "mom, stop sending me things jokes and chain letter!" I told her how I dont read them and that they were a waste of space and a waste of time for me to delete. I think its something important and turns out to be something to just annoy me. Write an email and tell her to just stop!!
