Question: How do you feel knowing your soon to be ex is dating and "in love"? My soon to be ex has a blog page and all the details of his dating life, love life, and current exploits are very public.  He details the trips he takes on the weekends, vacation plans, etc.  As I have the kids 100% of the time, if I had a blog page it would involve trips to school, dinner time, bath time, bed time, and work.\n\nHow do you feel about your ex or soon to be ex dating and declaring his/her love for someone else?  And knowing him/her is vacationing, taking trips on the weekend, while you are making sure homework is done, kids are growing into responsible adults, pets are fed, and you still have a job on Monday morning?

Answer: That's really harsh on his part; you'd think he would at least be discreet about it since you aren't divorced, yet.\n\nI am in your shoes, with one difference...my soon-to-be ex is telling everyone that I am sleeping with "every guy in town" and chasing off any potential relationship I may have (but don't have time for) while he is secretly dating multiple women.  And, right now I have 100% custody of our children, am receiving no child support, and he cant even see the kids due to a restraining order.\n\nOne part of me is upset (and a little jealous) that he is living the life of a bachelor, while I have all the responsibility - especially because HE is the one who destroyed our marriage (domestic violence)..........\n\nHowever - and I hope you feel this way too - a much larger part of me feels such pride that I am doing it all on my own; that I get the bath times with my children, and I get to read them books everyday; that I am corresponding with their teachers and helping with homework; that I get to be the one to kiss their boo-boos, and celebrate their milestones (like my littlest learning how to ride a bike without training wheels!), pack their lunches, and sing and dance around the house with them...\n\nAnd I have a full-time job with a lot of responsibility.\n\nI know what he's missing out on, and truth be told, I feel sorry for him.\n\nGood luck to you!  Hang in there, I wish you the best!
