Third time's the Charm

In two weeks my ex-husband will be getting remarried. It is his second engagement in the last year. One year; two engagements. Also both times he had known the girls for no longer than 2 or 3 months before proposing. With a 6-yr-old son I can't help but think this is a bad impression to set for him. My exes insecurities are a flashing reminder of why I am happy I am gone from there.

Living 3 and half years in abusive misery was enough. Better her than me. But being the fact that she is barely 23 and he is about to be 29 I can't help but think she was tricked. How foolish to throw your future at a man after 3 months of knowing him. And poor thing, it is doubtful they are planning a real wedding in a mere two-weeks.

On Thanksgiving my son kept telling everyone of my family on the phone, "Daddy has a new girlfriend, her name is Amber." Literally two days later my ex texts me and says, "I thought I should let you know Amber and I are marrying on the 12th of December."

Your son still refers to her as your *NEW* girlfriend. *NEW* What a buffoon.

He's rushing it so she doesn't have time to change her mind.

I'd laugh if it weren't so pathetic and if it wasn't something to effect my son. Always an innocent bystander to his father's insecurities.

....or an idea that didn't cross my mind... maybe she's pregnant. It is how he trapped me. I already had the escape planned when I found I was pregnant.

But, I wouldn't change getting pregnant. My son is the most special, beautiful, perfect thing I've ever known.
