First of all I'd like to say that I don't love my xh anymore and I don't even talk to him much unless it's about 2 issues (unresolved finances he's responsible for or parenting issues which he is constantly challenging or goofing up).
Here goes.
X calls my cell and asks as I am leaving work if the outlaws could have my son for an hour since they are in town and take him to McDonald's playland. I say ok as I am reasonable and say that he can bring son to me at 5. He says he'll bring son to my home and I say no, that he will bring son to gas station around the corner (I don't like him coming over to my house after he broke in last year and was arrested ok?)...So he agrees.
Get a call 15 min. before pickup time and he says that "he's running late b/c he has to take a shower and get ready" I say for what...? ..to drop off your child?
I am there and he drives up beside me all dressed up in nice dress shorts and a shirt. He is acting all wierd and says that he needs to talk to me after I put my son in his carseat and shut the door so son can't hear. He asks when he and I can "get together" this weekend to talk about things (finances he needs to pay off). I say that sunday afternoon after church would be ok. He says he'll come over to my house and I say no. Say I can meet him at McDonald's again so son can play and we can talk. He looks at me and acts wierd. I smell something and start kinda sniffing. Seems he's doused himself in his old cologne he used to wear...but now to me it is kinda stinky. I don't like men who smell loud.
I keep wondering during this why he has both hands in his pockets. He won't remove them. Then suddenly my son lowers the power window and says "mommy your cell has been ringing and you have 2 calls". Jethro looks wierd at me and I smile at him back and he gets it...Knows I haven't been knitting at home on saturday night I guess...
He then goes on to make up a stupid story about son being tired at school and says he talked to teachers about it. I say that's funny b/c they always come to me about everything...Last year he lied about a "mandatory teacher conference called as an emergency because of son's misbehaving" and it didn't even happen. A complete lie. He then goes on to say that "he fully understands how HARD it must be with me being a single mom and that he's been READING ABOUT IT and learning too (the man has never read a damn book in his entire life)". I look at him in disbelief. Then his nose itches and one hand leaps outta the pocket quickly.
I see the wristband from the hospital on it. My stomach lurches and I am suddenly nauseated. Really nauseated. He sees me looking at it and quickly retreats the hand into the pocket. Then he reaches for the suv door b/c son lowers the window again and I see his wedding ring...something very familiar about it...well that would be because IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE HE HAD WHEN WE WERE MARRIED...same diamond pattern and come to think of it...he might be wearing the same damn ring. I get nauseated once more. He sees me and the hand leaps into the other pocket again.
What's the big damn deal anymore? It's not like I didn't know she deliberately got pregnant or like he didn't elope with his mistress or something? Or is it because he is still on some level knowing that what he has done is incredibly stupid and immoral? I don't know. He then goes on to say t hat "he is a GOOD DAD because his parents were there for him and that he understands how hard it must be for me"..I look at him again in disbelief because I know his parents...His dad cheated on his mom with about five affairs, was a deacon, and tried to commit suicide with his shotgun about 3 years ago in front of Jethro and with his wife over the phone because yet another affair of Jed was caught and exposed..this was at very beginning of my MB postings ok?
I gently and not in any way cruel or anything say "Jethro you have NO IDEA what it is like to be me or what I have gone through so just stop it..Our son has done incredibly well to have had to roll with the punches these last 3 years."
At those words, the FATHER OF THE YEAR decides he can't handle it and gets all angry and jumps into his luxury BMW and drives off very fast.
I am still in disbelief at his words...I know the man knows he's a liar and a cheat deep down because of his invisible hands in pocket thing and his NOT EVEN ADMITTING HIS OC WAS BORN.
On the drive home, son says "My half sister was born. She's had to go to the doctor b/c of an infection but she's ok ". Son then says "Why did Daddy have to marry her? Why did FV have a baby with my daddy when they were not married? Didn't she know that DADDY ALREADY HAD A FAMILY?" I am at a loss for words at this point.
Son then says that they named the baby. I am further sickened because they named the baby THE NAME I PICKED OUT ALMOST SIX YEARS AGO IF MY SON HAD BEEN A GIRL. How low is that?
I get home and son goes to play with some neighborhood kids in front yard w/hoverdisc. I sit down in garage away from son and cry. I cried and cried.
It is a shame how all of this went down. How a selfish man chased a skirt or two and thought he'd get by with it and ended up in a horrible divorce only to get dumped by one of the two mistresses and then the remaining woman left forgets to take her pill, moves in with him and traps him into marrying her mere days after the signing of papers. And I think and flashes of the hell of the last 3 years come back to me. And I think of how I spent 9 days in the hospital with severe life threatening complications giving birth to my son as a preemie and an emergency c section after five days in the hospital..had severe preeclampsia. Did any of this come back to his dad during the delivery? Do they remember that at all? Does he know how his only son feels?
My son comes in and hugs me. I smell Jethro all over him and get him to change playclothes immediatley and dump the clothes into the washer. I want no part of my x anymore.
We both had a tough day. But we're going to move on. Go on. We're getting ready to leave for a party actually and my son is excited. Adult party with some of my friends and I think us getting out will be good and a way to take the focus off the stuff that happened.
I can't look at his dad anymore. I wish my memory of everything but my son could just be erased as I don't want to even remember any of it anymore. Not the good times and especially not any more bad. I am pretty happy about 99 perce nt of the time and am doing darn good.
People at work are amazed at the difference the last three months have made and how much I've moved on. But it's a test and very much a work in progress.
I never want to smell Armani cologne again...if any of my dates wear it, I will probably barf all over them. Still can't believe my x had the audacity to drench himself in the cologne I used to buy for him. Uuggh.

Peachy,
Sounds like you had a rough day,
I stick to Brut or Stetson my self but I don't bathe in it.
I think if you look at a few things you keep syaing, it may help you realize that you are upsetting yoyrself for no reason.

Thanks WIWH.
You for sure made me smile. And you're right.
BTW...loved C of Monte Cristo movie. Had Jim Caveziel in it...such a hottie. I actually have felt wierd b/c I have the hots for the man who played Jesus...but in real life he has blue eyes like he did in Count.
What an awesome movie! I have it on DVD...Sure wish we had some frogs like J. Caveziel here in GA.
I was on way out the door and voila! Got nauseus and actually did hurl. Ate a few nacho cheese doritos a bit ago w/diet coke to hold me over and well...yucko gross..So I am ordering pizza and downed an immodium and some pepto bismol. Figure it's the crud of the day.
Heh he he. Used to keep Pepto b. bottle at work when I was so under stress from the D crud last year at work. Everybody knew about it and thought I was one degree from a flaming ulcer.
Son wants to throw a pizza party here tonight iwth just me since I got sick. That's why I'm gettin' the pizza. Oh well. I am more of myself in a chocolate mood.
My sister called right after the "gastro moment" and said that my x makes her hurl too..
So...I have actually done it. An X has made me hurl.
I wonder if I am the first x to actually physically hurl after the very thought of their WX? I am actually laughing at it now. I am a very ironic person and think it might be God's way of getting me to lighten up and remember to stay in and take a bubble bath.

Hi Peachy, When I saw my Wh on Monday to give him the letter so he could take our daughter to the U.S. I felt like I was gonna puke but didn't. However I am waiting for the day when I am going to hear that he and the OW are expecting a baby( which I feel will be very soon) and when that baby is born I will probably do the same as you did. I think it is one of those autonomic responses.

I sure hope that doesn't happen merm.
Staying in b/c of the "big hurl". But feel better now...
I still can't get over he named the child the name I PICKED OUT. I picked it out. I helped them name the OC.
For those who don't know, I miscarried summer of 01. But the baby name for a girl was always the same. Alexandra. Oh well. However, I am not going to cave in. I thought it up. I even told the idiot man he is the meaning of the name.
What's more hurl worthy is the fact that: 1)my x is not very creative nor is OW/W. Hence the name thing. 2)He can't take his women to anywhere else than disneyworld. See number one for further reference.

Peachy, Sending Hugs and prayers your way. Your post was less of a vent than a description of an interaction. And keep the business in a public place, good move. You've put up with alot, and are becoming comfortable that you are in the place you are meant to be for now.
May god bless you and your family. Remember, God loves all children, and he will bless this new baby too. I know in your heart you understand that it's not her fault, and your son has a new baby sister - which is a great joy for him.

Peachy,
I just wanted to give you an ole MB cyberhug too!!!
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{PEACHY}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
You done really good, girl!!!
I think you are right. XH is in a real pickle, and things can only go down hill from here for him!!!
How tough............... Not a lot of sympathy for him here.
It was really L-O-W of him to #1) use the same old cologne #2) use the same wedding band (or at least the same TYPE of setting #3) use the same name you picked out for a daughter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />
Whatta creep!!!
However, I think it's "telling" that he did these things in this way........... Here's my take on it all:
First of all, my thoughts are coming from my own synthesis of reading a book called "Prodigals DO Come Home." I DO REALIZE that you DO NOT want this man "home" again. Yes, I DO realize that, so don't get all flustered by what I'm going to say. I'm NOT suggesting anything of the sort, OK? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> That's just the title of the book I'm quoting from.........
OK, having gotten that out of the way, I'll tell you my thoughts, and you can see what you think of this hypothesis: In this book, the author, Bob Steinkamp, (who himself was a WS, then BW divorced him, and a couple of years later they then remarried), outlines the "actions" of most WS's. He says they try to reproduce their "old life" with new woman........ VERRY rough paraphrase of his point, but you get where I'm going, right?
Well, just so's you know there really IS "justice" for the BS in all this, he goes on to say, "IT DON'T WORK!!!"
For example, he tells a story about fighting with his xW/BW to get the coffee maker in divorce settlement........couldn't really explain why, he just wanted it!!! (His theory in his book as to why he wanted it was that somewhere deep inside, he wanted something - normal, and comfortable from his "old life" to make the "new life" seem right, normal.)
He was trying to reproduce his "old life" but with a NEW, better mate.
Guess what happened? EVERY TIME HE MADE COFFEE IN IT, IT REMINDED HIM OF HIS "OLD" LIFE, AND HIS W!!! Isn't that hysterical???? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
So just enjoy the fact that your poor, deluded Xh is so mixed up, he's trying to live the life he RAN AWAY FROM!!!!!!!!!!
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
And keep "living your life" cause YOU COULD BE THE POSTER CHILD FOR "THERE IS LIFE AFTER DIVORCE." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />
God Bless,

Thank you old buddy.
And you are the sweetest. No problems w/your ideas on the book.
I do think he's out to find same stuff with new OW/W. But she's just nowhere and nothing like me. She's for starters a former model for men's mags. Uneducated mom w/outta wedlock child. Ten years younger. About a physical 180 from me..her extremely thin w/fake hooters and streaky black hair and me about five five w/blonde hair and blue eyes (although I am not flat like the great plains either lol!). But she's probably easily manipulated by him.
I wouldn't want him back b/c I don't know who he is. I don't even know if the man I once married was ever who he said he was. It is like marrying an alien after you think you married a man. When they get remarried and have another child, you just get so repulsed that well...I think today was the very very last nail for that proverbial coffin.
And it's sad. Who knows what could have happened if he didn't marry her or get her preggers? But would've could've should've are words I don't say.
I swear it looked exactly like the wedding ring with channel set diamonds that he "lost" about 3 years ago. Guess he had to wear the ring now that she was in the hospital giving birth so that everybody around would assume he's a normal hubby and dad.
And you're exactly right. He's living in the home I built and designed with him. He has even hired and flew in the same mural artist I used back home in TN to paint in the house recently. He's even purchased the EXACT SAME SUV as me for the OW/W (a navigator). Oh, but we do have different colors. That was his creativity I guess.
Oh well. He can try and have a conversation with her about well...anything deep and well...he'll either feel very superior (which he should like) or get really frustrated. He creeped me out today by wearing the armani and staring at me in the eyes. Really wierd. And the hands in the pocket thing show me that he does get it that he's a prodigal. But I don't think the prodigal son got another woman pregnant or married her while he was away...Oh well. Only the Almighty could take care of this and that's why I let Him have it...
And moving on is actually kinda fun...when you're not nauseated.
We did order the pizza online. Son is playing with his new hamster and I am well...still feeling green.

Peachy,
I had a few Doritos tonight my self, No soda though, just water.
Now I don't know too much about you or XH, but maybe he was acting so strange because he wanted to tell you the news but didn't have the guts to or know how to.
I've been there 4 times and everytime had to tell everyone I saw.
I also agree with lupolady. It does sound like he is trying to hang onto what he lost by recreating it.
And I love the name Alexandra. My oldest's middle name is actually Alexandria, I slight variation that W and I agreed on which was a family name for her.

When one can move far away enough emotionally, one can actually laugh at some of the antics in the WS "moving on". Had to laugh at lupolady's post.
X moved out with 20 year younger affair partner OW in 1999. Finally divorced in 2003 as X fought long and hard to impoverish me and alienate our children from me. Married OW 4 months after divorce. He had no more excuses for her I guess!
Since then he has been trying not only to recreate the life he had with me, but recreate OW in my image somewhat. (I am not a dog, but not a young Goddess either!) -Sent her to the colourist and hairstylist I had been going to for 15 years. I moved on where it was more comfortable for me..and love the place I go to now. Every so often I hear that her hair colour is changed to approximate what I now do to cover the grey!, only she is 31! I wear my hair short, now so does she I hear! -X Left dog with me, but bought for OW 2 dogs the same breed; just different colours! -I moved 18 months ago. 5 months ago, X ( married to OW) moved to the same street as me. -Bought OW same SUV as I have driven since 1998, but 2004 model fully loaded. (Had to wait for her to learn how to drive first though!) X has not spoken to me in the 5 years (only through lawyers) and there have been huge kids issues.
I am single, date when I want to and am happy with my life. I have no regrets about anything I did as a mother or as a wife. X is married, succesful and outwardly seems to all he has moved on. Me thinks not. I know he cannot create the life and family he had with me again, but me thinks he will never stop trying! Me thinks this is what stuck is all about, specially as his anger is directed fully at moi! Go figure!

Wow...same street, same hair, same dogs..Wierd.
Ok. More of the "X Not Really Moving On" syndrome: 1)Mr. Creativity and his twentysomething didn't exactly get the name right as my x isn't a very good speller ( I used to have to write all his business memos and proof any formal docs for business he had to have)...MISSPELLED the name I picked out. I had picked out Alexandra Lee and he chose Alexandria. I specifically remember telling him a few years back "no, not Alexandria but Alexandra..."So at least he got it wrong. And it's still my name I picked out.
2)When I got my dog a few years back, for my last anniversary ironically, the breeder had already named it via AKC papers...I tried and wanted to change the name of my new dog from his present name to "General Maximus" from Gladiator...one of my fav movies. Once again, Mr. Creativity, Jethro buys a white bulldog last year (at least different breed but I had wanted either a bulldog or the breed I ended up getting) and he names it..."Maximus" or "max" for short..
It would be really hard for his new OW/W to get the Peachy look b/c she'd have to shrink herself down about four inches, become blonde (but she can do the dye thing well), remove the fake hair clips from her stringy, streaky long elvira hair, and eat some real food to get over that emaciated men's magazine lingerie model look. Oh, and she'd have to learn how to pronounce three syllable words and be able to discuss something deeper and other than Burberry's latest purse collection.
Am doing decent. Woke again with a headache and feel like it's a darn hangover...but can say I did not earn it. Just a darn headache. More like a migraine.
Avoided calls last night from HN, the cute guy from subdivison who wanted the committment and the cute resident.
I now feel like every memory I had with him has been stolen or gone forever. Maybe this is another stage in really letting go.
What's important to those new here unfortunately is that when you speak with the x face to face, they are gonna keep spouting out foggy stupid stuff and you must understand that they actually believe the lies and crap they are saying. I couldn't believe it yesterday when he actually attempted to downplay the fact he was wearing his ring (possibly the old ring in fact), and that he was a new dad again. And then hearing how he read a book about being a single mom and how he's the father of the year by virtue of his wonderful parents who made Ozzie and Harriett...In reality, they're more like Ozzie and Sharon...
I'm no longer green. The imodium did its best. But I feel gross still. More than yuck.
I have a new realization about how to be a really good foggy person. I'd make a great one now b/c I have heard ALL THE BEST LINES directly from THE MASTER OF DISASTER HIMSELF. When you're re-creating reality, don't forget to omit the bad stuff. That's key to remember.
I think we should start handing out some tips for those WS or those who want to learn to be players or WS...So, I in my state of saturday morning headache am going to start off first ok? Warning...I am in a very dark humored mood partly due to the migraine and the nausea from late last night. Also, I don't recommend trying these tips unless you want to be booted out of your present home, marriage, or job. But they're wonderful if you find yourself President of the US with an eager intern or two to please and an angry senator at home...Or if you are a woman and say...you've had an excellent run as a porn star in the past and just wanting to ace that new job interview at Better Homes and Gardens for the position of replacement for "Just Ask Eloise"..Or if you feel your life is in need of an "Extreme Makeover".
Yea, I get it now. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH WS'...They were just really stuck in a rut with their lives and secretly desired an "EXTREME LIFE MAKEOVER". This could be great. If any of the major networks find this post, they might want to outst the "Fab Five" and grab me along with a few of us from here to help poor lonely hardworking family men and women and help them achieve an "EXTREME LIFE MAKEOVER". I'd call the first episode "FOGGY PLAN FOR THE MARRIED (wo)MAN"...
EXTREME LIFE MAKEOVER (TIP NO. 1) 1)If you did something really bad, FORGEDDA BOUT IT. Don't mention it ever again. Pretend you did not do it. If anybody ever brings up the alleged fact you did that deed, say to them "HAVEN'T YOU MOVED ON YET? IT'S NOT ABOUT YESTERDAY, IT'S ABOUT TODAY." Totally ignore anything bad you have ever done...especially if it involves affairs, divorce, bad parenting choices, or stupid mistakes in your personal life.
2)Be frugal. Leading a double secret life is costly. You need to save every penny you can. You'll need it for designer clothes, exotic trips, "LIVING LIKE A ROCK STAR AND LOVIN' EVERY MINUTE" (that is a direct quote from one of Jethro's emails that was read to a packed GA courthouse on my first court date last year ironically on 2/14...you can imagine the gasps from the courtroom on that one). Plus, if you have a S.O.O. (SIGNIFICANT OTHER OTHER) in your life, they will require material possessions from you as well...I have found that after a very costly divorce, it is only being financially responsible to "RECYCLE THE RING". Yea, it's only a little band of gold. You have to wear it from time to time if you remarry so why take the time and spend monies that can go to better use (like a trip to disney with your SOO)and JUST RE-USE THE SAME WEDDING RING. Hey...It's a ring...It still is used for the same thing...why replace it when you can recycle it.
These are your first tips in how to make the most of your "EXTREME LIFE MAKEOVER".
How about some other tips? I swear I want to send this stuff to a major network. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Peachy-
I don't really know what to say, but want you to know I am thinking of you. I can only imagine what you are feeling.
As for Jethro's use of all things familiar to you, it is too bizarre, but then again all too familiar in this world of WS's and A's. I find it very ironic that these people flee the trappings of responsibility in a committed marriage for the fun of an A only to find themselves right back where they were only with a whole lot more baggage. Then to see them attempting to recreate their former life with their new partner is just too much.
Take comfort in the fact that while you are better off without him, doing very well, and getting on with the present and the future. He is at the same time struggling with a life of his own making and trapped in memories of the past.
You are handling yourself well and by letting go and letting God you have to be seeing the progress. Life is good Peachy, this too will pass!
Take care and God bless! K

Thanks buds..
Am doing better today. Went out and got a new bike for my son as he outgrew his old one. We went to brunch, then to walmart and got a cool bmx type mongoose for him. Great price too.
Then we went to the greenbelt and he rode it and I jogged beside him for about four miles. I am dead...but it got the stress right out of me. Cool.
Know that I will backslide a bit because this weekend has been hard. But am doing as good as I can and am thankful for good friends like you here.. Thank you!

As stinky as this all is, I bet their marriage doesn't last and then your son won't have to be around the OW & child.
But till then, (((((Peachy)))))

Thanks Cindy. Have joined the ranks now of being the single xw and mom who's gotta deal with remarried xh and new w all trying to be "beaver cleaver" about it all...
Thank you my sister for the biggie hug.
I am doing ok with it all now. Actually I am saddened for the little girl. I have been keeping her in my prayers for God to watch over her. I can't even believe I am doing that but I am.
Read in line @ grocery store in a magazine that stated that over 50 percent of brides who walk down that aisle preggers don't make it to their tenth anniversary...now combine that stat with an affair marriage and also it being his third marriage and I see a real recipe for disaster. Am a student of science and studied med stats one semester and kinda believe although a person is not a textbook, that the numbers reflect reality pretty much.
Can notice I did get a bit down as tonight I had a second helping of my famous spaghetti casserole...Or maybe it was just reeaaallly good? Not sure. But I did eat two chocolate brownies yesterday also...Hmmm. could be pms. KNOWING ME, IT'S PMS DARN IT!

Please? Pretty Please!? I want to surprise my wife with it! She loved my Campbells Mushroom Soup/Green Bean one - the first one I ever tried cooking. (Yes, The Dark Lord does actually cook, on occasion.) She likes my Pancakes as well. TDL

Peach, I can well understand you being hurt over your Ex and his new W having a child together so close on the heals of your divorce. My Ex at least waited almost 2 years, although he married very quickly.
What I don't understand is you calling their newborn an OC. This baby is not an OC in any sense of the term. Her parents are married and were when she was born. Try and not take your hurt and jealousy out on an innocent child okay? Your tag line is demeaning to this child and to the little boy. It reflects on you, not the children. It's not a good reflection either. You're better than this Peachy. Really.
