How nice that you have the distraction of dance friend to keep your mind off of x. It makes a huge difference. Sometimes I wonder if H leaving is a blessing in disguise. Maybe this is my chance to fall in love again and to get to have the excitement of first kisses again!
I've been thinking a lot about the possibility of H meeting someone new. Ironically, my fear is that she will be a decent girl. One who I, his family and friends won't be able to disapprove of, who will take my place and become a dreaded step-mother to my kids. (Of course, if the M is really over, this would be best.) But the more I think about it, the harder it is for me to imagine a decent girl falling for him, considering all his baggage. Not sure my MIL would give her a chance either, since she's against us getting D. My guess is that he'll affair down with the next one as well - if you can still call it an affair at this point.
Sounds like your xH picked someone with issues of her own. Maybe she hasn't started questioning him about kids yet... She worked at the office, right? Does your brother know anything about her? Not that it matters - just out of curiosity.
