Hi All!
Been away for a while, busy, and had some PC problems.
Anyway, the exW says that she can't even take the kids for one week in the holidays, because she has no cash ( but she's going away on holiday herself to a resort). We have some altercation over dates for having kids over, but eventually all is sorted out. I will have them the entire holidays. (fine by me, but she is the one who wanted custody, isn't it?).

So I'm at her place quite often in 3 days, I notice the place is in a mess. We talk all night, and I sleep over, & give her a lift to work in the morning. ( her leave was due to start, but she had a problem with her boss in granting it, whatever). The kids spend the day at her place, and the ex's friend's kid visits them for the day. The ex aks when will I pick them up, she has a date the night. (Monday). I pick them up, and she is busy CLEANING UP and tidying like crazy! I cannot resist saying as I leave.."oh, Monday night date guy, hey?"
To me it's obvious she's having OM over. She says nothing. This after she spoke to me and explained how she's encouraged OM to patch it up with his live-in GF, and work on THAT relationship.How she & he are only FRIENDS now, how she regrets being in that space to have allowed herself to be a part of that. All the good stuff, while I praised her for coming to her senses.

I realise afterwards thinking about it, that she has said all this, because she knows I want to hear it, so she can still have my friendship & support. The last thing I told her before our "friendship break-up" was that I could NOT be friends with a HOME-WRECKER. So she has obviously concocted this BS story so I will be her "friend" again. I don't think so. It's truly amazing the lengths she will go to. But she's outdone herself this time.

My logic tells me: anyone who has a MONDAY night date, and not the rest of the week, has NOT told his wife/GF that it's over. GET IT? I wonder if she does. How pathetic.

I actually have more pity now that I have a better glimpse into their delusional little world, with it's own set of norms. I wish her a speedy recovery. Without me.
