Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts

I am a wife magnet for my exes. Seriously. All the exes have got married and now I can breathe in relief. I got two mails from 2 exes today, one informing me of his lovely half-amriki-half-indian wife and the other with wedding pictures. What are the odds? Anyway...

I was wondering, should I feel insulted when my exes tell me that I'm too independent and they didn't expect I would get married or should I consider it a compliment? Should I break it very gently to them that they were genuine asshats which is why they are exes and ignore all condescending remarks?

Also should I point out that I've done fairly well despite not getting "married" and that I AM "settled" considering the fact that I employ 4 people as household help, 1 as a chauffeur, have a nice house to come back to (and a housing loan that breaks my back, but I digress) and a regular lifestyle? Should I point out that it is not I who still advices without being asked, or who is even curious about any ex?

Should I remind them gently of the time when I was "rejected" by their families, in particular mothers when they learnt about my mom's health problems because they wanted picture perfect daughter-in-laws and not someone who was liable to drop dead any time because of health problems in the family? Does it make them even slightly guilty or ashamed to know that my mom is fine now and all it required was an operation? Do they realise that I opted out not because I was too independent, but because I didn't want my partner or my partner's family to lack decency and basic human values?
