Resentful and I Know I'm Being Unreasonable

I will start off by saying I know I'm being very unreasonable this is just a lonely rant. I was married a long time, we split a few years ago. During that time he never spent time with me or our DC as he was very emotionally distant.

Two years on he's with the OW, a new family and takes our DC on family days out with them. Meanwhile I'm lonely, and sat on my own as my friends have plans with their own families on weekends.

I know it's good he spends time with them but why couldn't he do that when we were together? We never had family days out and it eats me up inside.

It's dark, its January and I'm unhappily single. Can anyone relate?

Have a look at radical acceptance. As hard and unfair as this is, it is what it is ..he messed so much of your life already, don't waste the next few years smouldering on it. Xx
