You would think that after all of this time, nothing could surprise!

Well I woke up this morning and something my xh said to me when we met a few weeks back suddenly came into my mind.

We were talking about our second son, and xh mentioned a girlfriend of his who had finished with him during his second year at university. She wasn't brutal about it - just said theyw ere both young and should date others.

I was sad for my son in that he was upset, but honestly thought she was sensible and kind. Anyway my sh said he had never forgiven her for what she had done to our son!!!!

Wtf? It didn't even register at the time, but I practically sat bolt upright in bed at the sheer ridicuulouness of what he had said.

Unforgiveable for ending what was a fairly serious boy/girl relationship ending, but OK to dump wife and family of 30+ years??

It made me laugh and shake my head.
