my DB left my lovely, wonderful sister-in-law 18 months ago and went off with a younger woman he met at work. It was awful - my nieces were only 2 at the time (twins) and he behaved pretty badly. It came so out of the blue and he immediately wanted us to play happy families with the new girlfriend. Well, he’s just been ditched by the girlfriend! Out on his ear apparently and staying at a mate’s - she’s decided he’s gotten too intense with her and she doesn’t want to be a step-mum.
My lovely sister in law is thriving and doing amazing as a single Mum, so she’s had the last laugh. I know he’s my brother but he really deserves this, so I’ve raised a glass to karma tonight. I hope he learns from this and can become the best dad and co-parent he can be now, and the girlfriend (ex!) can move on with her life.
