I know I don't post a lot lately, but I'm having a terrible day and I know if I talk to my IRL friends about it, I will lose it.
So today is the 10th anniversary of my first date with my ex-husband, who left me last year for the woman he was having an affair with. Well, in a masochistic fit of insanity, I looked at his twitter earlier only to find a link to a freaking newspaper article about his adorable proposal to her on Saturday. "Of course she said yes!" Gag me. Why do people who behave terribly get rewarded for it?
Just wanted to get it off my chest temporarily. Anyway, that is all. Look for my retail therapy purchases in the shopping section.
Try to look at it this way, a cheater will pretty much always be a cheater. He'll most likely pull the same crap on his fiancee/new wife sooner or later. You, however, are already on the other side of the situation. You have survived the ordeal and come out of it
He's your past. Look forward to the future, which I'm sure will hold good things for you.
Aw, hugs. I can totally relate. Similar situation with my ex, when googling him, I come upon his wedding announcement and picture that was run in the NYTimes and apparently picked up by 200 other media outlets.
I was upset when I found out and all my friends would remind me "yes but you dont want him, youre better than him etc etc" They didn't get that I wasn't pining for him but moreso was mad at the injustice of how he bounced right back and is seemingly happy while I have a pretend boyfriend that I take to weddings so that i can avoid questions from relatives.

She's right! AND, things can always look good from an outsiders view, but things have a way of coming around eventually. This kind of person will get his own grief eventually.
You all are right, I survived and I know I'm better off without him. (Incidentally, she was married when they got together too, so one of them is bound to do it to the other eventually.) I just hate that he's completely moved on when I'm lonely and all I want is to meet someone and move on with the rest of my life, have kids, etc. But karma's a bitch. :)
Thanks, ladies. I know I can always count on support here if I need it.
