My H walked out on me and 3 year old son for another woman in April and is also "living the single life" but I too feel like I am "living the single life" as I can come and go as I want to, 3 year old is becoming easier to deal with because I don't have to worry about H's reactions, overreactions to what 3 year old, independent, stubborn son is doing. I have lots of family who are helping me out with babysitting son while I do my thing. I've been painting rooms in our house, also, and H is starting to wonder what I'm up to. I've also been buying a few new things here and there and just trying to create a new atmosphere in a house that's been the same the five years we've been in it. He's not back yet, but is looking like he will be back. We have lots to talk about before that can happen, but I'm just doing what I need to do to take care of myself and son and enjoying every minute of it.
Life with OW is not what he thought he was going to be either, if what he's been telling me is true. He's also been telling her he doesn't know what he's doing or if he's even staying with her, so she's basically in the same situation as me.
Take care of yourself and make yourself happy and do things that you want to do just because you want to do them. Try the "single life" yourself.
