He said he's seeing someone new

[Ophelia]

No easy answer indeed. It just feels like by their silence they're advocating adultery, and me being the one being cheated on in this stich, it just feels like (another) kick in the guts to have people act like it's no big thing.

I wonder if OW realises exactly what happened with H leaving? Did he tell her how devastated I was? Did he tell her how he ended our 10 year R via email? Does she realise that despite what he says, everything with us is very much not resolved? Does she realise what a mess it is that she's ended up in the middle of? Does she realise that it's stupid of her to get involved with a man so fresh out of a M?

You see, these things seem like common sense to me. If I were single, and some guy wanted to start dating me, but I knew he was fresh out of a 10 year R and has just walked away from his W, no way in hell would I be interested in getting myself messed up in that! It's just simple common sense!

So I really have to wonder if OW is either a) just stupid or b) blissfully ignorant about how horrible this whole sitch has been. Makes me wish I had her number so I could call her just to make sure she does know everything in case H has sugercoated it all for her, telling her that everything is over and done with and that I'm not an issue at all.

In other news, I exchanged a few txt messages several days ago with MIL and it ended with me asking her to let me know what day she and FIL had free over the next week or so so they could come over for lunch one day. She said they'd figure out a day and let me know. That was 5 days ago and I haven't heard anything more from her since. I'm starting to get really down about it. Feels like MIL, and in turn the rest of his family, is slipping away from me. I was hoping I might be able to figure out a way to see some of my ILs and nieces and nephews over Easter, but it just doesn't feel like that's gonna happen.
