How was it when your ex got a new partner?

[FennCara]

Feeling a bit weird about this one. I've seen a few 'flings' breezing in and out of his life since we split. This one is a bit different I think.

Given that I'm having his third child in a few weeks, I don't exactly think he's much of a catch. But... I'm not really sure how I feel.

How did you feel?

First one. -he had her up and running before I found out and dumped him. So all fury directed at him and her for not having the balls to get out in the open sooner and let me find someone better ( she was married)

Next- couldnt help seeing them as small town. She said rather too loudly " is that your ex?" And he said " yeah, ignore her, she's mental" she looked all protective, clasping his arm in hers as though i was going to fall to my knees and grab his trousers - and he winked at me.. So lucky escape there.

After that, I did the finishing. The merest hint of a red flag and goodbye. No more second chances. You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

I pressed post before I finished- sorry - it was painful at first but i knew deep down it was always for the best, even if it didnt feel that way for a while. I used to write down what I felt, and then look back at it in a months time, and realise how change was good. No dc involved so different though.

I expect you'll be a great mum to your next baby, and ongoing to your other dc.

Thanks all so much. I'm sorry so many of you have been in similar positions, but congrats on it being behind you now.

wavesandsmiles I've read your thread, you have a lot more to deal with than me and cope amazingly well. Sounds like we're due around the same time. Good luck with everything.
