I have the best in-laws in the world. They have supported me and told me many times that they love me and I'm still part of this family. They even supported my exposure of the affair.

I know they miss their son very much and they have told him they disapprove of his lifestyle with the OW. Before the divorce he stated the OW didn't live in Vegas with him, but we all knew he was lying. Its been over a year and half since they saw him.

I know they were planning a trip to Vegas to visit him in October but he cancelled and told them February will be better. In the email he send, which my in-laws copied and had laying around, I wasn't snooping, the first line was the "OW and I would love to have you visit us."

I know we are divorced now, but it was like a dagger in my heart, especially since I'm emotional because my birthday is this Thursday. My WH always made that day so special for me and now he is making plans with a woman who scheme her way in our lives with disregard for our marriage and her own marriage.

I guess it still hurts and will for a long time, I was hoping when my in-laws reunited with my Wh it would be without the OW. My in-laws told me she will never be part of this family. I know they are telling me the truth, but I don't trust the OW and her evil ways to get back in the good gracious of my in-laws. This woman is calculating and would do anything to get what she wants.

I guess it seem official when he mention "the OW and I" instead of me. He has moved on with her thousands of miles away from the home we built here with family and friends. I thought affairs last around two years (which will be in October) but it seems they have made a life for themselves.

Hopeless,

I hope that I don't come off sounding mean but you need to be grateful that your character has been so nobley and honorably defended by your in laws.Many BS's get very little of that, are ignored completely or have been targeted by the in-laws as the "creature" that brought the divorce upon themselves.

Having said that and since your D is final, it is time to move on. A continued relationship with your in-laws, especially without grandchildren, can only be detrimental to your mental health.

Don't get stuck in what could have been, you need to proceed with a new life filled with opportunities.

Take a great big gulp of the half full glass.

Best of luck

Pep,

I'm doing better today. I'm just a little insecure.

I guess I was hurt seeing my XH writing his name next to the OW, now its official that their relationship is now out in the open not a secret affair.

Cymanca,

I guess I know where you are coming from but my in-laws are the only family I have in this world and they have never made me feel anything else but a daughter to them.

I know they truly love me, the OW already destroy my relationship with my XH, why should I sacrifice the only family I have because they decided to start an affair.

My in-laws are very special people and have loved and supported me in everything I have done, personally and professionally. They only want what is best for me and are helping me get on with my life. Right now, our relationship has nothing to do with my XH, in fact we hardly ever bring his name up.
