I mentioned this in my other post, but wanted to emphasize it here:
I was getting my hair cut Thursday, and the stylist says that she had seen xOM with the girlfriend and his parents and said that things seemed "forced." She knows he is recently divorced. She said something to the effect of "He needs to be careful with his emotions. When someone goes through a divorce like that, the person they turn to to heal their broken heart ends up getting left behind once he feels strong again." This almost made me cry as I was sitting there. I was thinking, "I was that person who helped heal his broken heart!" In fact, he had told me many times that I was what gave him the strength to deal with his situation and to follow through with the divorce. Now, he is with this much younger girl, who seems fairly immature to me. But remembering how quickly he started talking engagement and marriage to me, I would not be surprised if she turned up with a ring very soon. I actually feel that he could be on the verge of repeating his mistakes (his xW is also younger, immature, etc.). But that's his problem. I can't be responsible for his happiness or worry about it any more. I did everything I could to care for him, but it was wrong. So now I have to focus on my family and making things right.
Right now, I feel my hair stylist has got to be one of the wisest women on earth.
