Tears for a lost cause.

I was doing so well, but no one tiny little stupid thing has sent me over the edge now I'm sat here trying to hold back the tears.

Exdp cheated and left me for ow last year, he's blocked on all social media as well as WhatsApp, apart from one group for dds hobby. I sent a message to the group and it hasn't been delivered or read by him, I know his phone line has been disconnected as he hasn't paid his bill, but he has Wi-Fi at home so usually gets whatsapps, however tonight it hasn't gone through so I know he's out of the house, i told you it was silly probably having a nice romantic dinner with the ow, whilst I continue to run myself ragged after dd and sit at home by myself eating a meal for one.

Some days I miss him, but i dont love him anymore so why am I bothered?

It’s totally normal to be bothered. And to miss him.
But, remember he’s a fucking areshole and he’s a bloody loser areshole who can’t even pay his fucking phone bill.
So as much as I can say you’re well out of it, and he will be just as much arse to his new woman. You’re allowed to feel like you do.
You’ll get there, one baby step at a time.

Don't be angry with yourself OP. It is still early days and it's ok to feel subdued sometimes, especially on days like today.

As it happens, the OW has bagged herself a cheater who can't pay his telephone bill - hmmmm, not a great catch!

I know all those things are ok, but it's making me angry that I still feel those little twinges of pain.

@ConfCall second paragraph nailed it.

Travisandthemonkey · 14/02/2019 21:52

God he sounds better and better!!!
Dinner on your own is better than going out with some prick that you have to pay for dinner with!!

Singlesally · 14/02/2019 21:55

@Travisandthemonkey, I fully agree I think I was just having a wobble.
I do have a date tomorrow so am looking forward to that.

The ex is a dick and I am so much better off without him.

Know how you feel. My ex's ow has bagged herself a 36 year old. Who rents a room in a shared house. Has debts and bailiffs after him. Can't afford to mend his car and the kids don't want to see him.

But he wasn't always this car crash. And is clearly doing something right as I expect wedding or baby news any time.

Our time will come. And our children will keep us going.

As a fully fledged loser dick he would had made it a shit day of manifest disappointment. Instead of a card you would have received a disconnection notice. Then had to have cooked dinner over the candlelight.

Singlesally · 15/02/2019 08:08

@LemonTT, I doubt he would have made it a shit day, he has this way of making you feel really good, even when he is being a total tosser. He would have got her cards and all that rubbish and she would have lapped it up.

@Singlesally all that glitters is not gold. My ex is the same. Very good at grand gestures and look the amazing boyfriend. But we know they are t good people.

Understand, been feeling sad too at the end.
OW snagged herself an almost 40 lazy cocklodger who hasn't worked in 8 years and lives in a rented room. They've never even met yet as he can't be arsed to get a passport.

Here's to us that even though it hurts, we're better off without them. WineWine
