Ex Husband, his gf and our kids

Does this get any easier??

I’m over my ex husband, I know he’s wrong for me he was a terrible husband and in the end left me for OW (won’t admit it) but I just can’t seem to get over what he did to me. The kids have recently started spending time with the OW which I was ok with it’s been a decent amount of time and they are still together, they are spending lockdown together so she is there when he has the kids at the weekend and it’s so hard spending my weekend completely alone knowing they are there playing happy families I can’t stand it. I feel so so alone, he’s an emotionally abusive arsehole yet he has someone who wants to be with him and I don’t?
I think the lockdown is making me feel worse than what I would usually but does this get any easier?

I remember being a 13 year old girl and hating my dads partner, they are still married 17 years on and I absolutely love her to bits now, the daughter will be feeling protective of her mum, I’m sure it will work itself out hang in there Flowers

Wow that sounds like a dramatic relationship! I guess you never know what’s going on in someone’s relationship. My ex is like the master at keeping secrets (or so he thinks) he doesn’t ever let anyone know what’s going on in his personal life ever.

Honestly think its really hard being the one without the “family” to offer.

I mean I know it might happen for me one day, it’s not something I’m aiming for, my goal is to be happy and for my kids to be happy but as a previous poster said... it stings
