An Unexpected Message

Four days ago, I received an unexpected message from my ex-partner. To cut it short, she sent an annual anniversary message through SMS. The odd thing is, she added the three years of not being together. It sounds like she wanted to reconcile and rekindle what was left behind. Do not get me wrong. I did not reply because there is nothing between us anymore.
If you were in my shoes, what would be your reaction?

Well let's see.
She added the three years of not being together.
I would want to know why, just out of morbid curiousity.
But I am not you

You do not have to continue or rekindle the relationship. But you could just phone her up and ask outright why the communication with you now.

@Shavkat I hope she leaves you alone.
My first ex-wife used to message me all the time trying to get me to go back to her... I'd had enough, though. So she started making trouble and taking me to court. It took several years before a judge ordered her to leave me alone.

@DaddyEvil I am glad that the intervention of the judge made you free from her. In the first place, I do not like a toxic relationship. It will make me in hell every day.

@Ineeddentures Reverse it; would you want someone that you had no interest in anymore trying to get back into your life?

Oh Judy I couldn't lol.
I'd have to know what the card was all about.
My curiosity would have to be satisfied.

I have never seen you talking about you having even an ex-partner. That shows you have absolutely no interest in rekindling the relationship

That's odd. I have never heard of anyone doing that. I would ignore it since you don't want to get back together.

It seems like she is celebrating this three years of being separated. That's why this anniversary message. That's weird and strange! If I was in your shoes, I would have ignored it. I am not sure what makes you think that she is willing to reconcile.

i mean, what is already in the past should stay in the past. maybe she wanted to say between lines that she doesn't care for these 3 years and still cares for you but if you don't feel the same, better not respond anything. i'm sorry she shocked you like this.
