She Ruined My Life, and I Let Her

LifeWasted,

 

after giving some more thought to the situation of the WGF's friend "snitching" on her, and the way the friend behaved tonight, is it possible the whole thing was planned?

 

How far fetched would it be to think the WGF put her friend up to deliver that news to you? I know I may be a bit of a cynic when it comes to the friends of the WGF, but I would not trust them or their motivations ever again.

Really? That's what you got out of it? I read it as his first step toward taking her back. I mean, now he "doesn't know how to feel". And I don't care one way or the other because some people just don't want to start over. Some people would rather be secure than happy, and I understand that feeling. Whatever OP decides to do isn't going to be determined by anything anyone on this forum says to him. That's probably a good thing.

 

Get this through your skull.

 

I'm not getting back with her.

I agree with your surmising about exes M. She was FAR too good at it for her to still be learning how to cheat. She's an expert.

She aimed to retain that lifestyle with you as an innocent participant. You're out. Not your game.

 

Yeah who cares what the friend of hers is doing / thinking / texting. .. nothing. They're ALL nothing to you now. No pondering. Just blocking.

 

You've moved fast. You've done so well. It's a matter of simultaneously putting distance between you and that past plus building your new social life - safely.

 

Are there new places you can drink / eat. Etc.

 

It's best to avoid the places "they" frequent

Unless of course you want to run into them.

 

Your choice.

They don't go to that sports bar. It's much too blue collar for that stuck up crowd. I'll bet that chick was meeting a guy there behind her husband's back she looked like a deer in the headlights when she saw me.

 

But I'm going to go where I want to go when I want to go, whether I cross paths with my WGF or not. If I see her out on a date with some chump, I'll smile and act polite and then go about my business as if she's not there. I'm not going to sweat it. I'm not going to hide. I'm not going to give up my freedom just to avoid her and her idiot friends. I am here to stay. A thorn in her side.

She's a married chick who never goes to that sports bar. Naw....she was there to meet her jockey.

 

I don't think she meant for me to find out. I really don't. That friend of hers was pissed and genuinely upset when she told me about it.

Whatever you do dont let this put you off dating ,you are guaranteed to learn from this , i bet you would spot red flags in future .Id talk to your lawyer friend and see what he has to say ,then put this behind you .And if you got on well with your exs daughter i would meet with her once just to say goodbye.You should do it as soon as you can so you can close the chapter completely .

I went by the daughter's school today and caught her in the parking lot. Gave her a big hug and told her I would be there for her if she needs me. I unblocked her number too. It was heartbreaking. I really got attached to her.

That must have been really difficult for you both. How did she react when she saw you?

:( That poor girl! And I feel bad for you too because that is just gut wrenching sad. Her mom's not exactly a good relationship role model for her is she. Maybe she should see a school counselor for a while, do you think? To help her adjust to the breakup and to your absence at home? What does your gut tell you?

I read this whole thread. Something seems off to me. Am I the only one?

 

Good luck OP.

I understand you have bonded with child, I really do. However, from a legal standpoint, please watch your back.

This daughter probably realises that you were a stable influence - maybe the ONLY one if all accounts of her mother and father are even remotely correct. At her young age I hope she takes something away from this besides sadness and that is that infidelity is bound to hurt SOME ONE and usually when it all comes out, it can be shattering to many people. Life lessons hard learnt. I hope she learnt something at least.

 

LW just be careful there. You may be a very honorable man BUT OPs including parents can get really weird about these relationships continuing regardless of their innocence. Not insinuating, just see weird assumptions, accusations and worse, charges laid on people regularly in my work. It pays to protect yourself. I would make sure NEVER to be alone with this girl. ALWAYS meet in a very public place in daylight, if at all.

 

Sometimes other relationships are collateral damage. Sad but true.

I will. I'm not going to try to continue a relationship with her. I'll just be here if she needs a friend.

Out apartment hunting today. I feel sad but also hopeful.

 

Good luck apartment hunting. Do you have any kind of emotional support system of friends to help you through this situation?

No. Most of the people I hung out with here were her friends and their husbands. I have no family.

Anyone you can call back home for emotional support at all? This really isn't the kind of trauma you go through alone. You need support for yourself.

You'll be just fine. I know it's early days, but time will help. I just never understand why people risk a good relationship like this. Pure selfishness and immaturity.

 

Look after yourself.
