Cherry. Getting on with a few bumps

[Cherry]

Guys, thank you all for the support. I’m aware i need to start a new thread so will do.
Just to update, my ex is still very much the same guy. He apologized in a sense, but i have a feeling that was just so he could get sex. He didn’t get it. He dips in and out of the kids lives and is still very much unreliable.

I’m slowly dipping into a new relationship. We are taking it slow but still having a date or two a week. I do not intend on introducing the children to him until we are certain we will be a thing (dating isn’t a thing in Islam, it should go straight to a proposal) we face potential problems here as he is of Bengali decent and me of Latina. Still, we’re adults- and i know whatever my ex will throw a spanner in the works either way.

I do feel as though his “the divorce is not final” is just a last minute attempt to try and maintain control. But this has been 4 years of trying to control me and treat me as though I’m worthless and i refuse to partake any more.

Can i just put out to anyone new joining, if it is truly over and you’re looking for hope- i thought it was never ever possible to move on. But when the time is right and you least expect it, someone may just change your thoughts.
If you don’t believe me, check my earlier threads!

Right, on to a new thread!!
