I know most of you have already gone through this - and I know it's part of the script, but it still hurts to have it confirmed.
I got a text from H today saying that he'd just seen my best friend and her husband in the city that he travelled to this long weekend "for business".
I texted my friend and she regretfully spilled the beans - H was there with OW (from my friend's description of the woman he was with) and they were shopping up a storm.
H left me here with no money for food and petrol - I had to go to his parents and ask for some cash to get by.
Can't understand why he would text me to announce that he'd seen my friend. I suspect he wants me to know but can't face being the one to tell me.
Not sure what to do next either.
Two possibilities i suppose: Continue on the current path of keeping the road home paved and smooth and living my changes.
Drawing a clear boundary: No contact now. If he has chosen OW so be it. That means nothing more to do with me. But how do S13 and D16 fit into this equation? I'd like to say no contact with them either - i.e. leave us all alone if this is what you've decided to do.
I think the latter would pretty much be just my anger coming thru - i.e. get out you lowlife scum bag; go be with your whore.
I think of people like AliSuddenly, ncl, and so many others who have had to put up with the same thing... and who have reconciled.
I'll go back to read DR AGAIN, and try to remind myself not to worry about OW... but how I HATE her. She knowingly preyed on him when he was so down about being a failure and suffering from depression and mood swings. And she was a friend. I can't wish them happiness; only terrible things....
