Well, at least until he discovered that there is someone interested in me and that the feeling is mutual.




There. I KNEW it. Of course I didn't say nothin'. Me bein' discreet and all.

Seriously, Betsey, I'm so happy for you. You deserve all the Good Things out there. A wonderful friendship. A new beginning. And that Someone who puts you first. Of course Mr W. is going to feel jealous at first. Of course noone else should have what once was his, even if he made no real effort to keep it. Even my dear H, who, as you remember, not only cheated on his exW, but divorced her and married me in rapid succession couldn’t resist a few sarcastic remarks about her new BF when they first started dating. It is only natural. They’re on excellent terms now, and new BF is wonderful with the kids.

And I think your friend is right that once Mr. W gets over he’ll be happy for you, and become a true friend.

Pen

PS: You’ll note my utter discretion and restraint with regards to Mr New Guy. Even though I’m bursting with curiousity. Admirable, aren't I???
