You're a strong person AND you've managed to keep your sense of humor - KUDOS!!! :)

That sounds excruciating you must be a very strong person. I can't stand seeing my ex!

Only YOU know when you have reached your limit. The LAST thing you want to do is act on any feelings of outrage or animosity -- especially in the vicinity of your granddaughter.

I love your comment, though, on the orange hair!

The few times in the last 10 years that I have seen my X, all I could do was shake my head at how very OLD and WORN-OUT he looks!

Ditto what Jenny said.

Well, I made it through the fair without incident. I don't know how strong of a person I am but I think I'm finally learning from my mistakes.

good read, good job ! I don't know how i'll react when I see her with another man, i'm dreading the day but I know it's going to come, I just hope i'm as strong as you.
I feel like it's going to be at a restaurant when I have my girls and she'll be on a date or something...
how weird is that going to be if that happened, omg, my girls would be horrified as will I.

You did well, lostwh. Good on you. Don't give them the pleasure of seeing you upset.

love and hugs

My ex was already a short guy, and now he seems to be shrinking. Maybe he's just diminshed in my eyes! They are not as great as they think they are....

Good for you, I had to see my former husband the day after he moved out with another women.

It was not the one he was cheating with when he left but a girlfriend of mine. Within two months he had left women he cheated with and started dating my friend.

Our children were young so every soccer and baseball game I would go to they would be there as her son was also on the same team as mine.

First of all, congratulations on being so strong by going to the fair. Don't let anyone keep you from being with your GD. I let my x and her family keep me away from my G children. I was an emotional wreck and did t go or stay lo G to any of the children's parties.. I mean no one talk to me.. It was me all by myself against her whole family. Anyway.. I'm sorry I allowed that to happen because I lost the bonding with the GC. I'm now working on rebuilding the love with the kids. Soooooo, just keep going to all those affairs .
The orange hair made me laugh. I saw my x one time at a GC event ...she showed me her red cowgirl booths. ( nothing against cowgirls), but my x was not EVER ! That kind of person . more conservative... Upper class...type.
I swear.....I almost laughed right there... Omg..what happen to her ????. I think that maybe her deceised boyfriend bought her those.
Good job my friend , !!!!!!
Timeman

Btw- I wish my x all the luck in the world and good health.
I feel that she did something that she thought she wanted
to do..... That's her choice.... I'm getting G better all the time., so. Just wanted to say that's how I feel now. It took 8 years to except that.
Later..tm

".. ex dressed like a teenager and her new orange hair dye" .... LMAF!!!! Dressing like a teenager and the orange hair might make her a good candidate for "Love, Lust, or Run". Yeah, the things we do for our body image after divorce!!!

Good for you! You knew there may be negatives there, meaning your ex and her current, yet you didn't stop them from letting you go and have some fun with your granddaughter!
I'm glad things went well for you, and that you can hold onto your sense of humor. Well done.
