STBXH has gone ‘Facebook Official’

STBXH has plastered all over social media that he is in a new relationship. We have initiated divorce proceedings and appreciate that he was going to move on at some point.

We have 3 teenage DC who have found out via the grapevine and feel betrayed that their Father hasn’t informed them of this.

I’m trying to keep my head down, crack on with divorce and support the DC but I’m sick of picking up his pieces in respect of the children.

Not sure what I’m thinking or feeling but could do with a handhold.

Can't believe he did that without telling the kids first, what a pig.

Horrible way for the kids to find out (and you) what a bastard. At least he’s your soon to be ex!

Oh dear, how insensitive. I'd just play it down with the kids. Just say he was bound to start dating, and that you're pleased he has a new friend, she looks nice etc.

Be glad you will soon be rid of 14 stone of gristle.

Your poor kids, I am sorry.

Poor kids. He's a dick.

Could it be an imaginary gf OP? A fictional one designed to make you jealous and angry? Or were there pictures?

WTF202333 · 24/02/2023 10:06

@Jollyhoho definitely real. She seems desperate to ‘get it out there’. I’m hopeful that his new love life will now help him to engage with the divorce procedure.
I’m just so sad for my kids 😢 he is the gift that keeps on giving.

Really shit of him not to tell the kids first before plastering it all over facebook.

Really weird isn’t it?! Speaks volumes on the type of relationship he has with his kids. My youngest is really upset - I feel like having a word but I know that he is expecting some type of reaction from me.
Onwards and upwards x
