STBX and OW broke up LettinGo: And you know what? I am not even happy about it.
My friends and family are laughing, but to me it means the worrying starting all over again: Will he start to 'party' too much now that he is single again and mess up his career? Will he show up on time to watch the kids while I work? Etc. etc. At least when he was living with the OW, he had her to keep him in line. And I actually feel bad for her in a way ... No, not her - her kids. She picked up her 3 kids and moved them two hours away from their friends and family to be with STBX, now they have only lived here 6 months and they are moving back.
Sounds bizarre, I know ... but when he left for her and swore it would be forever, I agreed to let the kids meet her. Now the kids only met her 2 months ago and he is moving on. Yes, I know ... it is better than years and the kids get attached.
He promises next time he will wait at least a year until he introduces the kids to his next girlfriend. ::)
BTW - I have NO intentions of reconciling, and neither does he. I don't love him.
I want to laugh ... but I am just worried.

Re:STBX and OW broke up HDSquirrel: Whoa Kelly,
He's not your responsibility anymore. Maybe this time he'll grow up. As hard as it is for us to believe sometimes, and by "us" I mean those of us who tend to be the caregivers in a relationship (either male or female), the others in our lives really are capable of surviving on their own. ;)
Sit back and allow him to figure out his own way in life. My bet is that he'll figure it out pretty quickly.
Be there for your kids, and provide for them a stable environment. They'll be okay, too.
*hugs*
Re:STBX and OW broke up lookin4alite: If its any consolation it seems that usually within 6 months of the "forever" person they pursue, its over. The relationship is built on steamy fast lust and little real deep love. The dude my EX hooked up with sent her packing within 3 weeks of her living with him. No surprise, I told her no one would ever tolerate her like I did.

Re:STBX and OW broke up AmyMarie1972: Well my XH has been with his new girlfriend for a week according to him but I think it has probably been going on longer. But if he has had a week then that means that I have just got another 5months and 3 weeks before they split (i hope ;D).
Don't worry about your stbx either he will become more responsible or he will not but there is nothing that you can do to make it go either way.
I understand why you would be worried but worry just causes sleepless nights, extra wrinkles and grey hairs and he really aint worth all of that.
Good luck

[/quote"> It's been over a year for the stbxh and it's still going strong. That is good for me, because when they fight, he calls me more. When they are happy, he leaves me alone which is good for me. I prefer that he be happy with her. I know I am a lot happier without him.
