Quick overview - I'm currently working on an international project and as part of that required to vist Germany for five days.
I asked ExH to have DCS 6 and 8 for the five days I was away and as I have two dogs and a cat he suggested and then offered to stay at my house for the five days, I was slightly hestitant as we have been divorced for 5 years but he convinced me it would help me so i didn't need to find an alternative arrangements for the animals and DCs would be in their own home which is near the school. He lives 15 mins away (so hardly a long way) I pondered on this however eventually hestitantly agreed. I left on Tuesday afternoon and ever since leaving I have been overcome and overwhlemed by anxiety.
It's a two bedroomed house but I now feel unconfortable knowing he is sleeping in my bed, my safe space, knowing that it will smell of him and he may be rifling through my personal things in my bedroom. To add to this I'm also now paranoid he will be sleeping with other women in my bed as he cheated on me with an 18 year old which was the main reason we broke up and divorced also there was alot of EA.
However since our divorce I have been in a couple of relationships, the most recent one of which ended January of this year which was not what I wanted but we decided to take a break to focus on our careers for awhile, but with the hope of working on things, so I'm now also concerned that my last partner will also get the wrong idea and be hurt that he is in my bed. AIBU? To feel like this? I know I agreed but now that I'm away I keep having very intrusive thoughts about the situation and I'm struggling to concentrate on the work that I'm actually here for.
