I know its not right and I am cooling things off with her now. It was a welcome distraction and confidence boost but not a realitiy and she is definately too young for me however mature she comes across.

I have a bigger problem to deal with now though. The biggest reality check I have had since separating. My ex W has found someone else. I am in shock as I actually believed that we had a chance. Its early days as she has only been on a two dates, or so she tells me. I walked out when she admitted to it. I couldn't breathe. She called me later in the evening, drunk, to ask me why I thought that we could get back together after being divorced! I feel so stupid now. I played myself, really believing that there was hope because of the kids and house and that we were getting along ok.

I know I have to detach and would rather not see her again. She even suggested that we still go out together occasionally with the kids as nothing has changed and we are on good terms!
I can't see how that could ever work and I don't want to. I only kept a friendship with a view to a possible future together but with another guy on the scene I have to let go of her some how.I am now contemplating selling the house and moving to a different town. I don't know what else to do.
It's like my hopes have been shattered and I am facing a new beginning.

OK, where should I start? Has anyone had to deal with this kind of situation? I feel like this is day one..


I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?
