13 years and 2 kids pt. 5

[Wanted1]

Hurt, I feel for you. I really do. It [censored] having to watch them walk away and into someone's life and their family all while dragging your own flesh and blood along with them. I haven't gotten to that point, yet, but I'm sure its on the horizon.

I've already made the decision that I will never, ever, respect my exWW AP. They can be each other's soulmates and live happily ever after for the next 50+ years but that doesn't mean I have to respect him for what he did to my family. If they would have went about it the right way, it would be different. If my exWW finds someone else she wants to share her life with, I'll respect him. But I refuse to respect a "man" who knowingly engaged in an A with a married woman. After he spent a weekend with me and my family over the 4th of July last summer, he doesn't have the excuse that he didn't know what he was doing. That's the part that irritates me the worst.

I've dropped the rope, as well. I'm fine with where we are at in our lives even though its still saddening to realize that my kids won't have parents, together, as a family unit. I believe that we can drop the rope with regard to our ex's but still not be "ok" with them being together with their AP. Maybe I'm wrong, but I really don't feel the two are linked together.

Take care!
