Having a bad night

So it's my birthday on Sunday, Christmas and new year just around the corner and I feel so sad. Husband cheated when I was pregnant with 2dc left us for 7 weeks then came back till dd was 5 weeks old. It has been awful. Absolutely awful and his nastiness is not stopping anytime soon. I absolutely loved him with all of my heart.

I am home alone tonight. My beautiful babies are asleep in bed and I am brooding how happy his new life is with ow whilst I am still bitterly sad trying to pick up the pieces of my life. I hate them both for what they have done to my children and me. I am full of bitterness but i just want them to be unhappy instead of this happy life that they seem to have at the moment. I hate how bit by bit I have been pushed out of the life we created together and now a space is being made for her. It hurts so bad.

When will it feel better? I have planned nice things to do with friends but none of it feels enjoyable. I just want my old life back. I would never ever have him back because of what he has done but I just wish none of it had happened in the first place. Really cannot believe how much of a mess my life is and so very far away from what I ever wanted it to be.

Sorry for my self indulgent post I just run out of ways to pick myself up sometimes!! I just can't wait for life to just happen again as opposed to struggling through every minute, hour and day. Please tell me it gets better and what I can do to get there!!

Hi Nomorepain, I just wanted to add that you sound lovely and I'm sure when the time is right for you, you'll find someone you deserve ie. not a lying, cheating twunt

Another thing - don't assume your ex and OW are leading a life of pure romance and bliss. He'll be feeling guilty and missing the kids (maybe?), he'll be being judged by family and friends for deserting you, the drudgery of day-to-day life will be replacing the excitement of snatched, clandestine moments. Money will be tight in their household if he's supporting his kids properly and OW won't be too pleased with that, and of course as the the kids get older, they'll be staying over, leaving her to do the donkey work while you have a bit of well-deserved R&R.

And at the back of her mind she'll always know that if he could do it to you he could do it to her. Just saying...
