If your Ex found his/her Happy Place?
Reason I ask is that after 20 years of a turbulent marriage-it was over -no fault -it just was-
I read these BM who have such a hard time when things finally move forward-
My Ex was engaged WAAYYY before me after our divorce -no problem I was nowhere near ready to get into a relationship-
Fast Forward-
I am remarried to a wonderful guy -who places his son16 above all else- (we are working on it)-
My Ex-looked at his situation-and broke off his relationship -moved on(it was hard) -SINGLE- and is at Peace-
I am happy for him-when all is said and done he really deserves some peace!
Are you happy for your EX?
We split 4 years ago, I met
We split 4 years ago, I met my husband 3 months after our split (I had emotionally checked out of that relationship a year before the actual split, so I was ready to meet someone new) I did not tell him until a year later, he still flipped. He is still giving me grief to this day. He has yet to move on. In his case, I think its better if he stays single. Whne he's with a girl he becomes violent & ends up in jail. So I'm happy that he's still single! But I dont think he will ever be a happy person, unfortunately.
Hummm
Glad you got out of that, the violent thing-hopefully that did not happen to you! Please be careful!
(My Ex is a retired cop-he "tells it like it is- Dr. Phil style with a British accent(maybe more like Simon Cowell-not many women appreciate that!)Bond ...James Bond....He would cringe if he saw my SS Zippy!!!

PS
Reason I say more like Simon Cowell -not many women appreciate that-is --If you asked my Ex "DO I look fat in that dress"?--you may not like the answer-
Today... I appreciate the brutal honesty more than anything-one thing I take away from those 20 years....

my ex
I was single for well over a year after my divorce. My ex remarried less than 2 months after our divorce was final. They divorced about 15 months later. I truly believe he is still bitter that he went through 2 wives in less than 2 years. As far as I know, he is still single. Our BD7 told me a while back that her BF asked her if it was okay for him to date. Not a question one should pose to a young child. IMO.
I was happy for my ex...
...until I found out that he was doing everything for her that I begged him to do for me. That upset me more than anything; it was like a big slap in the face. As it turns out, his 180 with her actually pushed her away and they broke up. He was getting ready to ask her to marry him and she pulled the I-need-my-space card. As far as I know he is still single. In retrospect I should be happy that he learned a big lesson; unfortunately it was at my expense.
To be perfectly honest, I
To be perfectly honest, I hope he rots. If my ex had been any kind of human we would still be married, 31 yrs this past Aug. Instead after we had been married ten years he turned into a drunken, violent abuser. I left him when my youngest was 10 and never looked back. When I filed for divorce I had dozens of people come tell me how he had cheated on me for years. Pretty much from the start. I don't think someone like that can ever be happy unless they're making someone else miserable. Yeah I know I've got a lot of anger still left but I'm working on it.
My ex is a real SOB
I am not happy for my ex he has 5 kids from 4 different mothers. There are people that should just no be allowed to reproduce. Somehow he has chosen to be close to a couple of those kids and ignores the rest. It changes every few years. Plus he was a drug dealer who went to jail for 2 years and he thinks he is the smartest most good looking guy ever. He is a high school drop out with the sense of a demented rabbit. I hope he rots in hell forever. Want to ask me how I really feel?
I'm happy for my ex.....
My ex is a great guy.... however; I don't know if its him, or if its my lack of tolerance but I can only take him in VERY small doses. He is super nice and funny but extremely immature, demanding and well just annoying. I love that he has met a wonderful woman but over the past year or so they have been off and on. I hope they figure things out and stay together because I couldn't ask for a better stepmom for my daughter. I hope he is always happy no matter what, he deserves to be happy (everyone should be happy).
Actually, I couldn't care less

My Ex remarried shortly after our divorce. I stayed single for many years-wasn't ready to walk that road again.
Has he found his "happy place". Probably. Not in his marriage-my son thinks his dad-a serial cheater when we were married-is stepping out on his 2nd wife. Surprise, surprise. But-he worships at the throne of the dollar-and his father died in a car accident about a year after our divorce, so he inherited the farm. And his father's money. So I'm sure that put him in a very happy place.
And I don't really care. One way or the other. I'm done with the anger (except when he treats one of our sons like s--t. Which verifies that I am over it.
it hurt
i felt hurt
i had tried and tried to make him respect and treat me right and he never did n now i see his new gf gettin treating like queen sheba and it makes me think what iwas doin wrong !! maybe my wounds r still fresh!! maybe its cos she's new n the buss will wear off but its still frustrating
I wish my ex would find a happy place
He had a really tough time through our divorce. It took THREE YEARS before it was all done and he was very bitter and very angry and tried to make my life VERY miserable. He was just so pissed off that I had moved on and was happy on my own. (pre dh)
He is doing better now, but he went through a very dark, alchoholic period. He is moving back to the state I live in and I hope that he is okay and happy so that he can be good to the kids. They all deserve to have a good relationship.
I also want him to be happy so that he leaves me alone. I am worried that he may try to start something with dh or harrass me when he moves back here. So, yes, I would love for him to find a happy place and find someone to share it with.
I'm happy for my ex, even though
our marriage of 11 years was EXTREMELY wrong for us. We married way too young and had a handicapped child 7 months into our marriage. He wanted out almost immediately after that, but somehow we managed to stay together- maybe too long for our own good.
But we parted amicably, for the sake of the kids, and he remarried almost 6 months to the day our divorce was finalized! And I was happy for him. His new wife is very nice, and accepts my boys (which is paramount) and we all get along.
He's still the same immature, cheap, impulsive, reckless person he was when we were married, but...he's not MY problem anymore!
