Well....I wondered if anyone has been through this.
Separated from ex-DH since about 2013 and divorced in 2014. The way it ended was messy and I made lots of mistakes. I have regrets that I didn't try harder to work through our problems.
Ex-DH now has girlfriend. He's taking her to ex-SIL's 50th birthday and she's met his niece. Somehow, this makes me feel sad, and replaced, and I burst into tears about it. All the abandonment stuff is mine, I know that. (Childhood experience), but its so difficult to come to terms with the new partner. I was close to the family for years. And still close with his grown up nieces. It's just the thought of not being a part of it anymore and HER getting invited to family events. I didn't expect that it would hit me this hard.
I accept this is all a part of moving on but I just wanted to put it out there and know that I wasn't alone.
I haven't met anyone new. And not really looking tbh. As the primary carer with two small children, and studying I feel I don't have time. Plus I don't even know how to meet anyone! Blahhhhh....feel alone
