I never knew what "Stretch" stood for either. Thanks for the ahem...clarification!! 
Care, what a strange morning you had at soccer. The OW has a lot of guts to do that. I'm glad you were surrounded by friends and supportive team moms.
I bet she did this so she could hear if you were talking about the "big surprise" with your friends.
What an idiot...

So he called your son to tell him that the "big surprise" was that he and the OW broke up, but are still living together.
Is this guy for fucking real?

Marriages that start this way, stepping over the bodies of loved ones as the giddy couple walks down the aisle, are not likely to last.

Cg, I'm so sorry, but jeez, he's soooo beneath you and, obviously, dumb as a brick.. Please, keep being you. It's got to be hard realizing what a doosh he is and how he affaired so far down. Girl, glad he's part of your past and NOT your future!
Just HOW stupid do you think I am, exactly?

Thank you all.
@timeforchange, we must be contemporaries! And survivors. Glad someone from the original version is still around with me.
@ArkLaMiss, thank you for the wise and kind words. It took some of the sting out of the indignation I felt over this weekend. It is hard and I appreciate the way you put it to words.
I think I may still write a stinging rant in his general direction and post here to get the final venom out of my system. Dumb as a brick will fit nicely.

Yes caregiver our time lines and situations look very similar.
Also "Stretching"..... Is something my ex is capable of!!!!!!
I am fully healed and leading a very happy life but I still read here everyday.. I tend to hang out in NB... still learning lots about relationships from the wise folk here. Trying to give a little back.. Although not as much I feel I could and should.
