Ex husband and new partner

Today my ex husband took the children out with his new partner for the first time. This was not the woman he had an affair with so makes it a bit easier. However I am still struggling slightly today. I don't know why. I would never want my ex husband back. He had an affair and treated me horrendously. I am back to my usual happy go lucky self since we parted. I waved them off and told them to have a lovely time amd even said hello to the new partner. Is this normal to feel like this-not sure how i feel not really sad but a bit down?

Totally normal but, can I say, you sound to have handled this difficult situation with such grace. I am full of admiration.

Aw thank you @cutecillian. I think after a few times it will be fine. I have no issue with the new partner. I cant stand my ex husband- too much to write here but not a nice person. As long as the kids are happy that's the most important.

That's great you have no issues with the NP. Seems like your Ex has not bad mouthed you to her either . She might become a good friend in time esp when she realises what a dick your Ex is

@IndiGlowie thank you.....my unsettled feeling has passed. It didn't take long! Yes most people have seen right through my ex husband...I just wish they'd told me sooner! Xx
