If you make paragraphs it makes things a lot easier to read.
I dated for a while too, just a few dates. I think it was to validate myself, that I was still desirable. That being said, I dont think that its a good idea to date while this is going on. You cant start a new relationship until your old one has been laid to rest. Or at least one that has any chance of being healthy or successful.
I think that its good that you have taking accountability for whats happened. And I think that its really important what you are doing for your kids right now, they have to have someone that they can count on during this whole nasty thing.
He is being awful, just showing exactly what a nasty person he is. But you cant let that change what you do. You just keep doing the right thing, taking the high road and you will come out of this without as many regrets. Dont let his bad behavior change what you know the right thing to do is.
I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...
