XH is marrying OW after only 5 months of D!!

[lea74]

Well we have wedding bells here in the UK. Charlie has decided to pop the question with Kate - yeah!!.
Having watched this on TV today, it made me remember my own engagment over 16 years ago and I still remember the feeling that I had on that day. I can remember every detail of the our engagement and how happy we both were and of course all our families and friends. It is probably one of the very few times in my life I have been truly happy.
I wonder about my XH's recent engagement, how it has been shrowded in secracy, unhappiness and shock from most people. My sons are devastated and I cant believe that his parents are happy either. A total contrast to our own.
In fact he never told me about his engagment, I found out via my sons. You would have thought that a little common decency would have prevailed as people who have 2 sons together and have shared 21 years together, he may have given me a bit of a heads-up. If he is so happy with her and so exicted about his future wife, then why the shame and embarrassment to not tell me??? It is just so childish.

I hope one day to marry again and I know it will be a welcomed announcement and be enjoyed by everyone. And I will have the decency to say something to XH.
