    I agree with Geegee8 - How are you feeling today Wendy xx
    hi strange but feel so much better today, have my boys have had no contact with him apart from a text from me saying i had swapped some direct debits into my name, havent has a reply back but that is prob good for now. i go away with the two little ones on monday for a few days very local to where we live but in a little log cabin, i will miss the family holiday that is booked cos i wont be able to go with them, so that will be a hard 9 days. most days i have been away from them is 3 days but at least we can speak by mobile phone. maybe a silly thing to do but i got my tarot cards done on ebay site, so many things seemed true in it its spooky. but it has made me realise that i do think i have moved on, i dont need him like i thought i did and i should get on with my life. in time i hope there is a special person out there for me, for now my boys are all i need.hopefully i can keep up the positives. hugs to anyone that needs them right now. i even think that even if the ebay tarot is all made up if it makes me feel brighter and have belief then it is good for me x

    HI there,
    Hope you are feeling ok today. You sound stronger all the time.

    A couple of things made me smile reading the posts. The one about being miserable but fit and also that 'she' won at Monopoly. The former will help you rebuild confidence for your new life and the latter, well that says it all really. Sadly men never learn that they will be upgraded at some point. And isn't there a phrase, if he's cheating when you meet him, he'll be cheating when you leave him.

    Have a good day and if I were you I'd find some projects to do. Whether it's the garden, going for a picnic, going for a bike ride, decluttering your wardrobe - anything but distract yourself as that is when your thinking can become clearer.
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

    Less things. Less stuff. More life.

    Sounds lovely i'm glad you had a nice time - you need to start busying up your social life and spare time I think. Do you work? Do you go to the gym? have any hobbies? You need to start creating a new life that is yours!!!!

  • Minnie's right, it sounds like you need to socialise right now. Maybe suggest a meet up with some friends? Making new friends would be good too, perhaps join a club or take a class? Book group, art class, maybe even join a choir - whatever interests you! Just get out there and find something to occupy your mind and help you meet new people. :)

    I tell you now your Ex Hubby and his little home wrecker are not going to last!! The best revenge you can get is to pick yourself and and become a strong independent person. Just wait and see his face when you do. I have seen it happen so many times.

    Are you still sharing a joint account maybe that needs to be changed?? Have you filed for divorce? I think you should you need to be proactive and in control don't let him be!!

    I'll second what Minnie123 says - why can you look up the bank acc on the internet, thats only going to fuel your imagination in a bad way. He might be out and about with the gf but you had a lovely time with your kids and tbh what position would you rather be in??

    Edit - everybody has a post holiday blues period, its natural dont necessarily associate it with your ex iyswim.
