Well it’s happened. The ex and his gf are no longer. It was a mutual decision by all accounts, although I do think he broached it.
When he rang to tell me I felt relieved and uneasy in equal measure. Although I haven’t been entirely happy with the situation, at least she was a known quantity. I felt happy with her lack of involvement with the ex and especially the kids. She never wanted to be a mum to them and never once hinted that she wanted to move in. Now the future is even more foggy.
This news came after the ex and I had spent most of the previous weekend together. The kids had had their biannual dance show, which meant lots of guilt-free time for us to spend together. We went to the movies on the Saturday, followed by some bedroom fun. Then the following evening we had to fill a couple of hours in a God-awful place called Aldershot, while waiting to watch the show.
The place was full of bingo halls and amusement arcades with the one decent coffee shop closing as we arrived. It was so depressing we were tempted to drive home and claim to have seen the show. We decided against that idea, just in case some dance disaster occurred and we were caught out.
In the end we sat in the car, outside a police station, eating sweets. Very rock and roll!
We did have a laugh though, so much so, that the kids didn’t know what to make of their giggling parents in the car on the way home. We were never like that when we were married.
Anyway I’ve kept it clear in my head that nothing needs to change and him now being single should make things a bit more straightforward. No more sneaking around and acting weirdly in front of the kids. Or so I though…
My ex popped over yesterday for a bit of Morning Glory, which was, as usual, glorious. But I’m now left me feeling slightly uneasy and confused by his remarks as he was getting dressed. ‘No more girlfriend to worry about now,’ he said. ‘I’m free and single.’
Then he started encouraging me to see other men if I want to.
Does this mean he is about to embark on a shagathon of his own? Watch this space…
