The skeleton in the cupboard

[thesk]

I don't know why or how but I ended up marrying a boyfriend who I knew had had sex with my mother years before. He and I had dated, then split up for 3 years, then sort of fell back into a relationship. It was during the split that he took her out for a couple of dates.

She doesn't know I know.

I have divorced this man now for other reasons related to his inability to keep faithful.

I am obviously never going to tell anyone IRL, but I'm now metaphorically beating myself with a stick as the signs of his infidelity and sleaziness were right there at the beginning. And I wasted so much time on him.

How to let this regret go and stop looking back?

Do you have children with this man?

How does that even happen? Ur mum had sex with ur ex and nobody has mentioned it? Little bit shocking

Why would your mum go on dates and sleep with her daughters ex? It's not just the guys fault. It's done now don't beat yourself up

Your mum went on a few dates with your ex and slept with him? Eww

I'd be more concerned that your mum didn't tell you and let you marry such a sleaze bag!!! Don't look back, onwards and upwards. Next time never marry/date a man who wants to date your mom💐

You can't change a thing about the past so don't waste your energy on what's gone before. Make plans for your future and look forward, not back.

Nice people don't expect sleaze or shocking behaviour from others - you will know what kind of warning signs to look for in future.

Is that you Mrs Robinson?
