He said he's seeing someone new

[Ophelia]

Well, I can now officially start reading this particular section of the forum on a regular basis because WAH is officially seeing someone else.

We'd been emailing each other about various things this week, none of it relationship related, and then he tacked this onto the end of an email he sent today....


Hmmm, not quite sure how to say this, so I might as well just say it.
I've actually started seeing someone recently. Main reason I'm telling
you is that I'd rather you found out from me directly rather than
someone we both know letting it slip. It's obviously not something you
wanted to hear, and I had no idea it'd happen this soon but anyway.

Have a good weekend.


I'm actually kinda glad he added the "Have a good weekend" after he dropped that bomb, because it did make me laugh.

To be honest, I've had a feeling he might have been seeing someone else for a few weeks now, because he did tell me that he spent New Year's Eve at the movies...seeing "The Holiday". Date movie much?!

Oh, and when he says he didn't expect to meet someone new so quickly, to give you a sense of the timeframe, he only moved out about 3 and a half months ago. Right this very second, I'm finding solace in the fact that whoever she is, she's totally a rebound thing, so it isn't likely to last.

I know I shouldn't harp on about the OW when I'm speaking to H, but I couldn't not say anything. So I sent him a couple of txt messages. I asked if she's anyone I know, and asked if we could talk about it sometime this weekend, adding that I would do my damnedest to stay calm about it and that I'm gonna be less likely to totally freak out if I can know a bit more about it all. I also said that I'd like to talk about it sometime this weekend if possible, because I may very well be having lunch with his mum on Monday, and don't want to feel the need to bombard the poor woman with questions about it all.

I'm yet to receive a reply to my messages. Considering it's Friday night and after midnight, I may not have gotten any responses because he's currently in the company of OW. Won't that be a lovely image for me to deal with for the rest of the night, considering that needless to say, I won't be getting any sleep!

I haven't cried since reading the email. I'm shaking like a leaf in a gale force wind, but I haven't cried.

And so begins the toughest battle of my life....and I was already thinking that things couldn't really get much worse.
