Hi
My marriage ended about 8 years ago after i had an affair with a friend of my husbands ( it never quite got sexual but that was due to no oppotunity rather than morals ) I was caught with a text, then followed lies, then a few years of trying to fix and gain trust back anf then finally my ex met a woman whom he now lives with , whom he told me about which finally ended our marriage. As you can imagine much much more to this story.

Anyway we are not divorced , we do not really communicate, we have just been overseas for one of our childs 21st, where contact was minimal and we flew in different planes. we were actually in Vegas. We live in NZ.

So legally seperated 3 years, he lives with his rag for past 2 and i have been in a steady relationship 18 months. Up until last week neither one of us had ever seen the other with the new partners. Then we were both invited to a 50th of which I felt i could cope with ( i will admit I was not in a hurry to see him with another woman ) as the venue was large enough to not have to be really seen. This happened and it was fun. My son who recently bought his own house has decided to have a house warming with just family and this i did not feel i could cope with ( had visions of having to converse with 'Rag' and sharing a meal ) so I sent ex an email asking if we could split our time on that day , so that we were not there at the same time and this was what his reply was....

Just like to say I do not consider Linda a girl friend as you put it, I have no ties with her and am free to walk anytime, I'm easily content and she is providing everything I need at this time, I enjoy her company and she is not demanding in anyway, who knows what the future will hold, she may think other wise but I don't care. While for now working the Norrie Street mortgage down I'm content to carry on what I'm doing.

So i would like to hear from you guys as to why you think he would tell me all this and am i wrong to feel sorry for 'Rag'

Hoping to get some insight from you guys
cheers
