We talk about kid stuff and sometimes things that we both have an interest in like KU basketball. We can talk politics, our folks, etc. Just don't talk about the affair, divorce, his marriage to his affair partner. I give him heads up stuff about the kids but not too detailed.
D14 is just now feeling major emotions about the divorce. She is very hurt that her Dad left and is raising two kids that aren't his while she and her 3 siblings struggle with the aftermath.
I didn't find this site until he had already filed. He didn't want to do anything to get the divorce done. He expected me to do the work like always but I wasn't going to help him break up my family. He is still in the mid-life crisis fog. Doesn't think he did anything wrong by cheating and hurting everyone as long as he was happy. She cheated also and broke up their family. so there is alot of hurt. A marriage built on lies...oh well not my problem. I don't know if there is regret on his part. Since he still is in his fog, I doubt that he has thought of it.
It has taken alot of work and time to get where I am now. My focus has been on getting my kids and myself to a good place. I want my kids to know that I am here for them and that they can count on me. I haven't really got back into dating yet. I've had a couple of false starts but feel that I am ready if the right guy comes along.
Just a reminder, words are easily said. Actions are the hard part.
