new girlfriend already 

Well I am already brooding at the fact that the ex has a new relationship after a few months.  Does this suprise me...NO.  Then why does it hurt so much.  He is giving up his time with his kids to be with her.  Canceling his weekends.  I bet the next step is he will want her to me them.  This makes my blood boil.  He has no concern about how his kids are going to feel about dad seeing another woman.  I truly hope that she is a nice person and not young enough that my oldest son could date..LOL.  Although it would not suprise me about that either.  He is truly thinking with the wrong head!!!  How do you prepare your kids for this when in fact they are having a hard time with the fact that dad left them and does not have time for them now.  I know he will spring it on them and not prepare them for this monumental occasion.  that is his stile.  Everything in a secret until the bitter end then wham you get slapped across the face with another lie or twisted story.  Sometimes I wonder if I was the stupid one to have stayed in the relationship for so long.  He is turning into a creepy old man.  I hope our boys turn out to be nothing like him.  Confused, secretive, and never shares his feelings with anyone.  What a sad way to be.  No wonder you want to help him out he is such a sad case.  18 years later he is still the same, sad, confused lonely man.  What a shame.

The only thing to remember is that whatever issues you had with your ex, the new girlfriend is inheriting them. Reminding myself of that with my ex's very smug girlfriend was extremely helpful. And lo and behold, she ended up wasting 10 years of her life on him and ending up miserable and liregularly deceived. The kids are a whole other story. All you can do is make them as prepared for the changes as possible and try to be as positive about your ex as you can (though admittedly, that don't always make it easy, do they?)

I can totally relate to your feelings about how your children will react to their father's love life.  My ex immediately signed up for three on-line dating services upon separation.  He left his printed profiles on the computer desk and my daughter read them.  She was very confused about his dishonest profile.  He had a girlfriend before our divorce was final.  I was fully prepared for that so I wasn't hurt.  I was out of love for more years than I can count.  The painful part is seeing my children struggle with the girlfriend.  They dislike and resent her.  Their father had a chance to get to know his children but he chose to focus on his sex life instead.  My daughter firmly believes that he doesn't care about her.  Unfortunately, she's correct to an extent.
