Well, I am bracing for a rough next couple of days.
I have written previously about friends (a couple whose spouses both cheated on them and they found each other) of ours and how difficult our separation had been for them - ultimately they chose to socialize more with H. H was very close with the guy friend and helped him a great deal when he was going through his divorce. I understood (and still understand) how difficult this can be for friends and didn't want them to feel awkward, so I just let go, grieved the lost friendship and moved on. It was difficult for me because I couldn't understand how they didn't see that H did to me what their exs did to them - yet they accepted it in H.
The guy called me a couple of weeks ago and said that they had broken up. He felt that my H played a part in the break-up. He apologized repeatedly for not staying in touch with me. He said that he now recognizes H for what he is (liar, manipulator, etc.).
Guy just called me tonight and said that he found out that his ex-girlfriend and H talked to her children and told them that they were dating. Right after I got off the phone with him, H called and asked if he could see the children tomorrow night (H never sees them during the week).
I don't know how the kids will react to this but I don't think my older one will handle it well. I don't even know how to help them with this one.
After reading all of the situations here, I would think that I wouldn't be surprised by anything anymore. But I am. I continue to be amazed at the lack of decency and morals in people in general. It seems to be a "what I want, when I want it, no matter who get hurts" attitude, with no regard for consequences.
She was my friend. He was my husband. How can they justify this as being right? How can anyone see this as acceptable?
