Why?!? Ex-Husband rant

So, my ex-husband is getting married today, in fact the wedding was one hour ago. Well, we have a great relationship and get along well, and I'm happy for him. I'm jealous, but not of him or her.. I'm jealous that he's moved on with his life and I'm still spinning my wheels.. thats all. Yah know, he just joined the country club, and I just got off food stamps type thing.. sigh. Anyway!!


Anyway, I'm a tad irked at what I just got in my email. I understand that we all get along well, but why is it necessary to send me pictures of you and your new bride in your wedding duds? Why? Why would you send me a picture like that? And a picture of the view off your balcony onto the beach? I mean, thats great, its nice, she's beautiful. Can we rub it in that I'm sitting at home taking vacation time to watch the kids on your week, and watching your dog, and have no boyfriend and just recently got my heart freaking stomped on? lol


Isn't it just weird? Like, just over the line almost.


Another small rant is he wants the girls to start calling her Mimmy, and I'm going to have to put my foot down. I can't tolerate that. I like her, but I just can't go there. I told the girls that in my house she is to be called Jennifer, not Mimmy.

"I never knew what real happiness was until I got married,
and by then, it was too late."

I agree...so silly to force them to call her anything.

I really understand how you feel. My exhusband went to Thailand and married his wife on a weekend that he was supposed to pick up the kids. I think the fact that your ex sent you pixs is another way of controlling you and rubbing it in your face.


My ex was married about a year and a half after our divorce. I have been single for 5 years and not been on my first date. It does get better... I really don't care what he or any one else thinks. I am healthy and ready to meet someone. He never did the work to get there and is in a miserable marriage.Ooops.


Hang in there baby! you have great support here.
