Apparently (I heard all of this through WXH's oldest daughter, my former step-daughter, who went for breakfast with him and my young children this morning before he took my kids to his family for 5 days), OW (who is 23) feels they are in "different places in their lives". It's a good thing I've done a lot of healing because I am CRACKING UP at the irony. But 4.5 years ago, when she was 18 and he was a 32 year old married man with two little kids and a pregnant wife...well, then they WERE in the same place?!?
Apparently, he's "distraught" and wants to win her back. From the little I've seen and heard, it looks like she's quite enjoying her newly found, slutty single life.
He also asked his oldest daughter (17 years old, who does NOT see her younger siblings very often and wouldn't know what their needs are) if SHE thought he should tell them (my kids, ages 11, 7, 4) that they're broken up. I don't know what she said to him, but WHAT?! Sorry to break it to you, buddy, but these kids don't care a lick about OW. She's not even on their radar. It's not like they're losing someone special...
Not feeling terribly sorry for his poor, wittle distraught ass.
Welcome home Karma!
It is what it is.
Love the karma stories, especially at the holidays!
I know, right?
Merry Christmas to ME!!
It was a great day when I heard that OW broke up with my ex too!!!
Counting the days with you GS. counting the days.
Good to have a bit of amusement to mark the time.
Serves him right!
18 & 32? Disgusting
I've got an even more disgusting one....mine was 39 and OW was 20! They married and she wasted her 20's on him and has now she has left him for another man!
Don't ya just love Karma when it is delved out like that?
But 4.5 years ago, when she was 18 and he was a 32 year old married man with two little kids and a pregnant wife...well, then they WERE in the same place?!?
The sad clown (40) and OWUmpteen (24) were having an affair for probably close to 5 years prior to DD (my oldest daughter was just over 4 on DD). He 'cheated' on her with OWIndianSheMan - took SheMan to meet Umpteens sister for drinks in London. I wondered why he felt so comfortable taking an OW to meet someone who knew me but then I realised the sister knew of their affair so wouldn't be shocked by this new OW. Just.So.Fucked.Up.
He will be gutted when she realises what a loser he is. Unfortunately she will probably set another M alight once she sucks this idiot dry.

Sounds like he did indeed get all the happiness he deserved...lol.
Oh goodness, YES!
To get somewhat serious, when he first left, everyone told me, "it won't last" and all that, which was little comfort, really, since he clearly didn't want ME. But it did last. For quite a long time, in my opinion, seeing as she was a teenager right out of high school.
And it stopped mattering. I worked on healing and building a life with my kids, and luckily for me, they live overseas, so they weren't in my face all the time. I honestly didn't care if they were together or not.
So, today isn't something I was even waiting for. It really just feels like a glorious little gift. I am so amused by it.
It only hurts when I breathe.
