So xw and I divorced earlier this year after I discovered an ongoing affair.
Kids spend most of the time with me and if I’m not with them I’m at work. Wouldn’t want to change this as I love having my kids with me so much.
My issue is that I can’t help feeling jealous of her new life as she’s practically moved her new bf in with her, is going off on fun days out without the kids with him and then gets the kids at weekends whilst I’m stuck doing everything on my own and can’t remotely consider dating as would have no time to actually go out with work/life balance.
Is it normal to look at the other person’s seemingly perfect new life and think that I’m the one doing all the hard work with the kids etc whilst they get to be the fun parent and have a social life? I think some of it I should still the pain of the betrayal and misplaced feelings.
