I was sealed in the temple to my ex-wife. I have now remarried a wonderful person and we are wanting to start the process of getting sealed in the temple. I realize that this is a process and will take some time. It sounds like one thing that will happen is that my bishop will send a letter to my ex-wife and ask her feelings on me getting married, about our divorce,etc... My question is how much weight does the first presidency put on this letter that my ex will write? During our divorce proceeding she made some horrible allegations of abuse against me - all unfounded and untrue, but I am sure she would love to tell the first presidency how horrible she thinks I am. She has already caused me enough pain in my life and I don't want some letter from my bitter ex-wife to cause me even more pain. Just wondering if anyone else has been through something similar and could give some insight.

Hello LDS Forum, This is my first time posting on this site; so hopefully you can give me some advice on the Sealing Cancellation topic. I was previously married to my Ex-Wife for five years and have been divorced from her mutually since June 08'. She recently called me this weekend to give me a head's up that my Bishop would be contacting me with her wishes to get our Sealing Cancelled. Now, I don't have one issue with this; as I am not in love with her, and have found a new sweetie that we have been dating for a year. The problem I have is that at the end of our marriage she was talking to another man online that she knew growing up for her hometown. She would lock herself in our bedroom and talk to this person on the phone for hours, and would send emails everyday "as friends". Well, let's just say that three weeks before we were officially divorced she already had her wedding dress picked out to marry the man she was talking to on the phone. Then, was married to him immediately after our divorce in her Bishop's office. I found out later she was talking to him for months after I tried to go to counseling with her, but we just couldn't make it work. My question is how do I write a response letter to the First Presidency when I receive hers that would depict her lack of taking our temple vows seriously and having an emotional affair with a man clear across the country while still being married. I plan on marrying my sweetie in a few years, and want to not be sealed to that wretched woman. Should I bring all this up in the letter, and make the point to say I want it cancelled just as much!? What will her letter say? I hope all this makes sense, but I don't want to come across as bitter/that I still love her. Since I do NOT! :)
