What's funny is he always said when we talked about it that he didn't want to even think about me being with another guy....how ironic since I actually got to SEE him with another woman, WHILE we were still married!! Funny, but not.
The last time we talked about it at all was about two months ago when we were getting ready to tell the kids our situation was permanent, we weren't getting back together. He said something about how someday he would be with someone else again because he wouldn't be alone the rest of his life. He wanted a partner. A real partner (bc of course, I wasn't one--insert eye-rolling smiley)...
I said, "I know, me too, it will be weird though for me to have another man playing ball with Nathan or taking Sydney fishing..."
He got all pissed and said he didn't NEED someone to help him parent, just to be his partner. Like you can compartmentalize a new spouse? Sorry, but if I marry someone to be my partner, they will also be around my kids. Which means sometimes they will be taking a dad-like role, swimming with the kids, taking them to the movies with me, etc...
