This young bit of skirt will get bored of him eventually! The novety will wear off soon enough. She will soon get with someone her own age. TRUST ME! Look in the papers when older celebrity males get with younger women, some readers comment "Its nice to see a father and daughter together"

Bit of a generalisation, no?

My boyfriend is technically old enough to be my father and the 'novelty' hasn't worn off yet and it's been five years, I hope there are many many more to come.

I know that was to comfort the OP but attitudes like that are only superficial assessments based on stereotypes.

Personally, if it was me, I'd be happier to see that my ex was still with the person I blamed for the breakdown of my marriage rather than knowing the marriage ended as a result of a fling with someone else who meant nothing. But that's just me.

This is a man who doesn't seem to "do" lasting relationships - and keeps having to shell out large sums of cash to cover up the tattoo from the last woman.

Think of the cost to him once the relationship ends!

If I were him to save money with next victim I would look for woman with same name, simples, just join dating site requesting in preferences there name is _______ whatever the recent birds name is!

Thanks - yes I know he is pathetic, he's 58 for gawd's sake, and she is 25!!! I don't have feelings for him, but I do still have anger against her as I believe she was the major reason for our marriage breaking up. She sent me some very hurtful texts at the time (in broken English) indicating that he was some sort of prize that she had won, and I was such a terrible wife!

Anyhow, it dragged on for ages, we had to sell the house & then I moved back to the UK (they are still abroad). So I have no desire to get back with him, I'm happy with my partner. It's just the thought of both of them deciding to obliterate my name and tattoo hers instead. Yes I know - Facebook can be a terrible thing!

Sounds more like the pic of the tattoo was a reminder of your ex's betrayal. That at some point, when you two were utterly in love, he had your name tattoo'd. He's now doing the same with her.

And imo you're blaming the wrong person. She might not be a nice person and she might have hit on a married/taken man but its your ex-husband who broke his vows to you. He had the option of saying no.

Sometimes what seems like a devastating moment can actually be very liberating and in our best interests. I have a feeling your husband betraying you is one of those moments.

j.e.j.

You'd think with his track record he'd have figured out by now that tattoos of your current girlfriend/wife's name aren't a good idea.

Of course she wasn't the reason your marriage broke up ........he was

He was the one who made promises to you not her

Well I expect he'll be the next one to be upset when he splits up with the new girlfriend and realises has another ex tattooed over himself in another visible place.
