Ok so after the initial wtf of finding out my ex had cheated and booting him out, I find myself surprisingly ok, I'm happy, had my do done, got my eyebrows done, and my first foray into the worldof POF was surprisingly successful, I have been talking to a really nice guy for 2 weeks 😊 I haven't fallen apart, I am not fixating on what my ex is doing. He has introduced the OW to his family, and I was ok with it, we are still friends, and I have genuinely forgiven him for what he has done to me. I still get a bit pissed off at things he's doing now, but nothing unreasonable and it's honestly just been about stuff as it comes up that neither of us thought about in a new situation, and it's been easily addressed. I have even suggested meeting up with his new partner, although I think the fact that I am being so calm has her worried lol. We are still a long way off my 6 year old meeting her, but in time I will be ok with that too, its more making sure hes not getting attached to someone who isnt going to be arpund long term than anything elae.
Everyone is telling me how angry they are with him, and they are a bit baffled as to how well I am moving on. I'm not having a psychotic break I have just realised that I am happy he's not here anymore, and in the worst possible way, this is the best thing that could have happened to me at this point in my life.
Am I setting myself up for a fall here thinking I'm ok, or is there some messed up denial thing going on here and I'm going to wake up one morning and not be able to get out of bed...which by the way is so big and comfy with just me in it 😁
