Feel so stupid. Age 42, divorced (reasonably amicably) 3 years ago, have 2 DC. For past 6 months been in a relationship with a guy also 42. He is a senior member of staff at DC school; so didn?t want to broadcast for that reason. Kids think we are just friends. Seen him every other weekend when DC with Ex and his family. Occasionally seen during the week but he has to work long hours or so he said. Thought he was a really lovely guy, physically, emotionally intelligent and everything else?
Anyway, last Friday I found out via a friend (who doesn?t know him), that a teacher at her DC primary school has been in a relationship with him for the past few years and she is expecting a baby in December. This completely blew me out of the water. I managed to find OW FB and Twitter accounts and that confirmed it. When confronted, he admitted the relationship. This woman is 30, they have been in ?casual? relationship for a few years, she recently got a big handout from her parents and they are buying house together. OW is quitting job soon and will be a SAHM. He thinks it is his last chance to have kids etc.
He still wanted to be in relationship with me ? told him to get lost and never wanted to see him again. I feel absolutely bereft and a complete idiot. I thought this guy was wonderful and cannot believe how I was so stupid. I had been to his flat but not noticed anything, met a couple of his friends etc. I feel jealous of OW, lot younger than me, has him, affluent etc. I want to get over it but don?t know how.
