I know exactly what your talking about my ex told all kinds of excuses and still does. The latest was why he moved in with the women he had the 3-1/2 year affair and helped take my kids dad away. He said it was financial reasons. But I know better b/c if that was the case why would she move from a run down bad nieghborhood paying probably 400 or less a month to a decent neighborhood and pay 700 or 800 a month if it was not planned and why else would she let him have her apart. if my kids want to come and spend the night which they don't want to but she would leave and go elswhere so they would come and he would take all the pictures of them down so the kids wouldn't see them. If you ask me shes just desperate to have a man. But he also tells me that hes not saying we won't ever be together again and hes affraid someone will replace him well I told him that I would replace him but as far as a father thats upto him on how good a dad is . He also told me that he is going to be with someone other than her and that he probably would not marry again well I'm not sure if it's guilt or an ego but ither way I don't let it effect me.I continue to take care of my kids and me and what ever happens-happens. thanks for letting me reply and a respomse would be great thankls again Joa.
