I just want to get some advice to see if what I'm feeling is unreasonable.

I started dating a guy in October. It was all going brilliantly until I realised that he still has a pretty intense relationship with his ex wife that left him in July. She moved on and met someone and actually helped my guy to write his dating profile! I've since noticed that they are quite flirty over Twitter. He claims its just a friendship now.

Has it happened since you've been together?

She has a 20 year old that he adopted when their son was small. So effectively their son is an adult.

I was thinking the same thing actually and that he doesn't have enough self awareness or self respect to realise.

regardless of the disloyalty to you which is horrible, he sounds a bit of a tool fool, tbh. really not worth your time.

I'd leave them to it and end it.

the longer you leave it the harder it will get.

You are definitely rebound girl, sorry. :(

I would (gently) let this one go and get back out there looking for someone who's actually emotionally available!
