Thanks Georgia. It's not that simple.

He IS his own boss. He met her on one of his projects. We don't live in the country we grew up in, so no family nearby.
That's another thing that baffles me. He knows I would prefer to stay in this country, but most likely won't be able to in the long run. He has lots of business in the other country, so he would get to visit our kid fairly regurlarly - monthly would be my guess - but that didn't deter him. He's so used to traveling and not being there on a regular basis that he can deal with that.
I know he's head over heels for this woman. Who knows, maybe they really are soulmates.
