He left me...Mumsnet was right

He left me.

I offered a break or an open relationship. He refused. This is true love. He never felt like this about me. He’s not like other men who leave their wives for trivial reasons, this is REAL!

I told him I wouldn’t wait around. He is pleased. He cares about me. He doesn’t want to hurt me. He is powerless.

He told me he had no regrets. I laughed. Of course not! It’s only been six weeks. If there are regrets, it will be later.

Our kids struggled. Helping them navigate was rough…really rough...the roughest. I had to be a strong as I’ve ever been. They think he is a selfish idiot.

Fast forward:

I met someone - it was fast but I was ready. He is amazing 🥰

I went back to uni, I’m a student again.

My life is incredible. I'm very happy.

And his life?

She left him.

I hope it was gentle.

I wish him no ill.

He is alone…

Why are you saying he is alone as though it’s the worst thing that could possibly happen to someone?

therealcookiemonster · 12/12/2023 04:36

are you practice writing your first novel OP? one of those tacky Mills and boons types? sorry to anyone who likes them...

Bobtheamazinggingerdog · 12/12/2023 04:41

Exactly. Did new lover ride bare-chested on horseback across uni campus to sweep OP off feet?

A bit of a cryptic way to start a new thread @dontknowhow2feela

A link to the story so far by way of introduction would have been helpful.

Others on the thread - catch up on this link. Your suspicions are unfounded this is just OP's writing style.

Good job I'm not planning on writing a novel based on early reviews 🤣

Edited

I wasn't fussed about linking - just shoved it up.

I figured hoped it would be buried by morning 😂I'm having a weird moment is all

This is totally meaningless.
I see there is a linked thread.

If the thread is written in the same style, life is too short to decipher what's going down. Can't bring myself to go and find out 🤣

Minniliscious · 12/12/2023 05:42

Okay ……

Dependabledentures · 12/12/2023 05:49

Glad your life is working out for you

BeautyFromBad · 12/12/2023 05:56

There are some very odd responses on this thread. My exH left me for another woman after 25 years together. At first, I thought I would never be happy again.

it’s lovely to read this @dontknowhow2feela. I’m glad you have love in your life. My exH is getting married again. I’m kind of glad, otherwise destroying our marriage would have been in vain. But I’m mostly indifferent.

may your happy times continue!

AnneValentine · 12/12/2023 06:03

Are you drunk?

Kitanai · 12/12/2023 06:11

Jesus there are some right bitches on here these days!

I’m happy for you op.

TerfTalking · 12/12/2023 06:11

Awwww, I’m pleased for you OP. How long before she left him?

It definitely doesn’t have the ring of truth to it..

There have been some bizarre hard to fathom posts recently, written in a very stilted way.
This is another.

Sometimeswinning · 12/12/2023 06:15

There are some bitter people about. He left his family after a fling and the op is saying she came out on top. How anyone could be bitter about that is beyond me.

Unless there are a few posters who have reason to sympathise with the cheating ex left all alone?

Mongrelsrbeautiful · 12/12/2023 06:24

Glad you are in a good place OP

Socialyawkward · 12/12/2023 06:30

Glad your happy op and I hope at some point you manage to sleep !

Lovedthosechips · 12/12/2023 06:45

Dunno what is up with the miseries. Glad it has worked out for you and the kids.

Mummyoflittledragon · 12/12/2023 06:47

I’m glad it’s worked out ok. Having read your other thread, he’ll be fine. Centre on your relationship and kids.

Tacotortoise · 12/12/2023 07:00

Good for you OP. 🙂

everyredsock · 12/12/2023 07:04

Some very odd messages here.
Very pleased for you OP. It's fantastic to hear you've found happiness after a really difficult experience.

JackieQueen · 12/12/2023 07:19

Very pleased for you op. 💐

Darkandstormynite · 12/12/2023 07:24

Ignore the detractors.

You're feeling weird because sometimes life just can just be a dizzying experience!

Well done on getting through and finding happier times.

How are your kids doing?
