Ex acting like a single man

[Strongsinglemama]

Husband left 5 weeks ago, there's OW. I've posted before. I'm home alone with kids, he see them 2x a week for few hours and spends rest of time living it up like a single man. I just don't get it.....6 weeks ago he's part of family and now....

Beauty of being single is the ability to act single.

It's horrible and painful, ultimately there is nothing you can do about it.

Don't know why or how the break up came about but Id suggest being busy and not thinking about it as it is will just upset you more

Stay strong x

He is a single man. As the PP said, keep yourself busy and try not to think about it.

It's sad that some people can just forget about their kids like this. I couldn't imagine ditching them and I strongly believe dh wouldn't either. It's baffling.

While I totally get where you're coming from, he IS a single man

He isn't a single man, he is a single father. There is a difference. He is being an irresponsible shit and a shit dad.

I am so sorry he is behaving like this OP. Can you take any comfort from the fact you're not?

It sounds as if, rather than acting like a single man, he's acting like a man with no responsibilities. Which he is not. Sorry OP, hope you're doing OK

That's what I meant like a man with no responsibilities

I am fully aware he is now single trust me after what he has put me through I'm in no doubt about that

I’ve been in your shoes and it hurts on so many levels. Just remember he’s loosing out. Embrace your children and live for the moment. This will bite him on the bum one day and you can sit back and laugh from afar x

Are you in the process of getting child support and proper contact times sorted out ? You deserve a life too.

Firstly OP- is he seeing his children that much because he wants to or because you let him? There’s a difference. If he wants to have them 50/50 say and you won’t let him, then YABMU to judge.

If it’s because he wants to- then that’s sad, but there’s nothing you can do. Just kick back knowing your a better parent than he is.

If it’s any consolation to you- he will get OW knocked up and fuck off on her as well. Depends if you believe in karma I guess?
