My ex husband has moved on before me?
I never thought I would feel like this but I am going through a lot of anxiety. It's been a year since we seperated and we have a young 17month child. I haven't really been on the dating scene much with a toddler running around and working full time.My ex clearly stated to me that he had moved on and seeing someone. I don't have any feelings for my ex it's just that I never thought I would be the one alone and him happy again in a relationship.I start to get down thinking that i am going to be an old madam and never re marry or have anymore kids. I was just wondering how any other divorced people felt when their partners moved on and if they were still single or found a partner. Thank you

everyone is different. you may need more time to deal with your divorce, but time heals all wounds and you'll find someone that will love you and your child. good luck!

I can say from personal experience what your feeling in 100% normal. It doesn't mean you have feelings for your ex. It doesn't mean your going to end up an old madam and never re marry. It just means you are a tad bit jealous of his happiness. Like you stated you never saw him moving on first before yourself and that is normal you divorced him so you figured that no one else would want him, hes not that great of catch in your opinion. Makes sense but believe me you are doing the right thing here taking care of your baby and moving on slowly so that you are a much stronger healthier person when you do go forward! Believe me you will find someone it may take time, but you will find happiness again, what your feeling is normal! I went through all of this too after my divorce. It gets better :)

Maybe it's just easier for us guys. My ex was devastated by my new girl friend, so much she begged to come back. However, since she did the leaving there was little to no trust left in my emotional bank or at least in her account. That's when the divorce got ugly! she turned into a bitter, freaking evil, woman. But, that too passed and I am married 20 years to that girl friend. She (my ex) also remarried but, since it was based on competition to my marriage it has been rocky for her.
Just understand this.... It's not a race to see who can return to the old life, but, who can honestly say that they are living in their comfort area. If you haven't found Mr. Right then who cares. Maybe for you he won't exist, maybe he is just an hour away. I think that you are happy where you are at but, maybe, just maybe the time has come to get out and really "choose" who is right for you. The cool thing is that you have seen what you thought you wanted and found it missed the mark. Next time go for those qualities that promote maturity. A stable job, a sensible spending habit, security, reliability, and morality. Make a list of what is perfect for you and remember, you will never fit perfectly into a guys list too! Give and take is a horrible concept. Some times it's give, give, give, and then compromise and give some more.

It's going to be pretty painful after breaking up with someone you love so much. It's inevitable that you're going to feel very down, sad and depressed. Sometimes it seems you spend every waking moment thinking about how to get your ex back. Try to visit this site in order to get the best benefit out of it https://tr.im/t3P0k
Do a simple search, and you're bound to find a plethora of information, with a whole host of different opinions, sometimes seemingly off opposing viewpoints. To focus in on something that's going to help you, the first thing you think about is establishing some common courtesy.
First off, NEVER play mind games with people. This will only get people hurt and will probably end up worsening the situation. I only mention this because naturally people are ruled by their emotions rather than thinking their actions through thoroughly. Think the situation through before doing things based on your emotions. Remember, even if you do manage to get people to do what you want, this amounts to manipulation, and however good you feel now, I guarantee it won't last very long.

Don't worry about who moves on first. Take this time to figure out where this relationship went wrong. He might have moved on pretty quickly buy that doesn't mean its going to last. Take your time, get your life together and and put yourself in the best position, so when (not if) you DO find love you can pick a man with character, and it will be fulfilling and long lasting. Haste makes waste!

My husband was having an affair, I divorced him and he is still with his "whatever". I am not seeing anyone either. I don't feel badly that he is involved with another so soon (or even before we married). That is his life...It really does not bother me and I do not compare my life to his on any level. That helps alot...I am happy he has moved on, means he isn't reflecting on me, which is a very good thing.

just tell her how it is. like im a girl. and if my ex boyfriend was to do this to me. i guess i would actually think about the whole situation and give u a straight answer. Read here https://tr.im/6Rtoy
the reason she prob doesnt respond to ur aim is either her new bf is there.. or she is just playing hard to get. all of these things is what i did to my ex boyfriend. and they work lol. he was chasing after me for 5 months (but we werent dating and we hadnt dated before) and then i played cold and yeah it got his attention. i think u should just say to her that she either loves u or she doesnt.
Give her the ultimateum...basically that u have been offered a job, but you would think it would be great to spend time with someone that u care about alot and just want to end things fun and happy.
During that time make it so unbelievable she wont want it to end.
Tell her that if she loves you that she has to break up with her boyfriend, because u cant keep going like this anymore. Just say that it is unfair on the new boyfriend, and if really did like the new boyfriend that she still wouldnt be saying that to u. Or play cold with her all the time.. dont care.. dont act like u do any way... dont respond to her things... and let her wonder what u are doing the whole summer without giving her one hint..
i say def go for the first one.. cuz the second option is just a 50/50 suicidal mission because with the first she at least gets ur aggressive i dont care side with strong points but also letting her know that u care and just want to be with her..

Your son is only 2...he is not "let down" by his father canceling visits. He can only stop you if there is a clause in the custody/visitation agreement. My sister can't move out of the state of Florida without her ex husband's permission, they have joint custody of their 2 daughters.

of course you will find somebody else! you cant meet any guys though if you're always at home!!!! try to get out when your baby is with him! when my parents divorced my mom moved on pretty fast and it made my dad mad, but he eventually remarried too. the woman he is married to now better suits him as well. hope this helps.
