I divorced my ex-wife about 8 years ago. To make a long story short, she left me 6 months after she graduated from nursing school, 3 months into my return to school to get my degree, had an affair at work, got pregnant by him and eventually married him to year later.
To make matter worse, we have two kids which we both care for dearly and have worked well enough together for them. Still…. she is a "typical" ex-wife that people complain about. I have my kids 3 days and she has them 4. I was really bitter for awhile as I put her through school and she dumped me after I returned (7 year marriage).
My kids are now 12&14.
Her new husband (married 6.5 years) was thrown out. The kids told me it was because of excessive drinking and not making enough (saving enough money). I kinda empathise for the guy. He just finished trucking school this year past year. She is really tough on people, and pretty self centered IMO. My first reaction internally was maybe she drove him to drink (lol) although I would never mention that to my kids. It really is too much of my business though my kids are involved. This has been building for a while now and it doesn’t shock me.
I made sure my kids new that I supported them through this and that they could always fall back on me if they needed. I would love to have the kids all week, but it wouldn’t be fair to the ex (not that she would do the same as she always tries to wittle away at my time with them). I imagine her life is going to upheave as she is one of those that lives paycheck to paycheck with bad credit making 70K per year by herself.
I personally save and have very good credit (make about 55 per year without a degree – had to drop out to support my kids – 750/month CS plus extras).
I must admit that a small, very small part of me had the though of reuniting after all these years. She was very emotionally abusive, but I am sure I still have some feelings for her.
he has two more kids with her. apparrently his parents were abusive drunks which I guess would explain the alcohol.
She has that kind of smile that makes your day better and makes all the rotten things seem worth it. Shes a real trooper to put up with this situation and i would like to know some cheap to free things i can do with her or for her to show her how much she means to me. I could go on and on and on and on about how much i love my wife and how much im in love with my wife but im sure you get the picture lol
