I mean, the actual date if the proposed wedding. I already knew he was engaged. (To the OW.)

I am posting to let you know that i am lacking in any kind of emotion except, possibly, amusement.

Keep the faith, those of you who are feeling broken by their marriage ending or their partner cheating. Turns out it really is possible to get to a point where you don't give a shit.

Cheers!

Cheers to the OW. She sure is a lucky girl. What a catch. 🙄

Maybe he is expecting you to ‘save the date’ so you can dress and deliver any dc to the venue, while away 12 hours or so in a strange town, then take them home so he and his new wife can get on with wedded bliss ?

Love that OP!! It's great when you have moments of realising you don't give a f*ck!!

Perhaps, but not sure what they're proposing to do with her three...

It's only just over.an hour away. I asked because when he last talked about it over a year ago they were planning it to be in a beautiful foreign city they had connections to, say Barcelona for example.

It's now apparently going to be in a less than beautiful UK Town near where she works, somewhere akin to Slough or Coventry. It was the source of my amusement. However I'm very glad not to have to facilitate cross-border delivery of pre-teen children!

And I'm already living my better times with my own wedding planned. I haven't bothered telling him the date yet though. It's not like he's invited!

If he’s anything like my xH, he’s told you because you obviously want to buy them a hugely generous wedding present… 😂

Ooh yeah. I'll buy it from the share of his pension I got in the divor..... no, wait, that won't buy anything becausenit doesnt exist, hang on a sec.... um, how about all the money I have left over each month after his hugely generous child maintenance..... um... nope. Spent that on the kids. Right. It'll have to be the spare cash I invested from the spousal maintenance I got.... hang on, that was non existent wasn't it.... jeez....

I mean, I'd give him a shiny fuck if I had one, but I'm all out of those, too... pity.

Haha. Such a good feeling isn't it? I knew I was over my ex when I discovered his new relationship and immediately felt sorry for her! (Ex is a walking midlife crisis)

Oh shit! I almost blamed you for the wedding in a less than beautiful town, because you cleaned him out in the divorce. Tsk, oh well 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Well now, if you listen to (and believe) his tales of woe....luckily I don't have to have anything to do with those who do, nor did i want to. Win!

They’re all so unoriginal 😂😂😂.

Enjoy being free of him and have fun planning your wedding 🥂.

I feel sorry for the women I must admit who are seeing these guys through 'loved up goggles' - and a fair few (not all) who 5 years down the line will be thinking WTF
