well, your are right about everything Kim , I have been only on my own for 3 months. For those 3 years, I never really went out with OM, I had my daughter every fri, and sat night. OM and daughter and me never did any "family" things together. Everytime the ex needed to go somewhere, I was there at his house to watch daughter. during those three years I was always at his beck and call. Whatever he asked me to do, I did it. If I didn't still love him I would have said forget it buddy, you have daughter every other fri and sat, so that each of us has an opportunity to date or whatever we wanted to do without daughter, alone time. Hi brother had an affair with a married woman and she hated her husband, took him for everything and married his brother. If I didn't still love my ex I would have gotten married to the OM a long time ago. Why can't he at least say, Anita, I have feelings for you, but still I am having trust issues with you. I would like to work on a relationship with you but I need to work on trust issues first. Then I would be like okay, now I know where we stand.
