I am faced with seeing the man my wife of 17 years left me for on a daily basis, I have never talked to him, I have a lot of hard feelings towards him, breaking up my family, moving into my house, everything.
It is not getting any easier, I see him at my daughters soccer practices, I see him in the distance, I see him when they pick up my kids, he is always there, I have no respect for him, I don't think I ever will. People told me that, what I consider an affair, usually fall apart.
Well their affair has turned to a family.
We are now divorced, he has moved into our old home.
I left our home over a year ago, never to return.
He is there living the life I had.
Will I ever stop feeling this way.
Everyday I see them/him it just rips a little more of me away.

I see my x with her new guy at sporting events too. Well, try to remember that you are your kids only daddy. Be the best dad you can be. Your x is moving on, nothing you can do about it. You will probably alway feel resentment for this guy but try to not let it consume you. Live a happy life and be the very best dad to your kids that you can possibly be.
Good Luck

Two things:
Firstly, just because they're living together doesn't mean sh*t. Dating and having regular sex with each other is one thing. Living together is another. Somebody has to take out the garbage, do the dishes, pay the bills, and comfort crying kids at 3 a.m. Reality will set it pretty fast. They may still stay together, but the honeymoon period will end.
Secondly, I agree with STP. Be the best Dad you can be. Remember, you are the ONLY DAD THEY WILL EVER HAVE. This other guy will NEVER be anything more than a stepfather. Make sure that when your kids are with you, lavish love on them. You don't have to spoil them or not have any rules. But make sure that "Daddy's house" is a fun place to go to. Make sure that there are special activities and such that are unique to your home. Oh, and whatever you do, DON'T refer to it as "Daddy's house", call it "home". Whenever they're with you, your house is their home.
