My husband of 12 years had a girlfriend within two weeks of our separation. It definitely hurt. But it also made me realize what a fool he was and I could see how pathetic he was. We are on speaking terms now but I had to set some strong boundaries before things could mend themselves to that point. It’s been 11 years since our divorce now. I sometimes still wonder how things could have turned out different. But I’m happy where I am and my partner treats me like gold. So no complaints at all. Life has a funny way of teaching us things doesn’t it?
