Ex told me at 4pm after dropping the kids back that he has moved his girlfriend in to his home, and plans to tell the kids in the NY. ( he comes up from London to see them so stays in hotels).
Apart for making the kids dinner and letting them eat in front of the Tv tonight I have not stopped crying.
He did dump me 14mths ago I thought I had come to terms with the separation and deep down I know he isn't right for me, i just feel that his life is still exciting and he has found a loving relationship. I am so lonely .....everyone else loses weight when they get divorced instead I am comfort eating and putting on weight rapidly. This compounds my low self esteem so i'll never meet anyone.
I know I should be grateful what I have got, healthy kids, enough money to get by on even if there are things I have to go with out etc.
Before his lover moved in announcemet we had been getting on amicably and practically which was benefitting all parties. Ironically I don't know any single parents or divorced people, yet 3 of my friends are 2nd wives and they get so irrited by the 1st wife.
My friends and family think I am coping marvelously but i'm not emotionally, and getting all embarressed in front of them when they can't do anything isn't going to help. I have joined a gym, taken on charity work and keep my house clean and tidy but life is boring and lonely and I am sad.
