Another Friend Etiquette question

[sweetgloss]

Aaaah don't you just love the class???

Well my exhusband is now shacked up with one of my ex closest girlfriends... He is "too busy" for his kids because he's playing father of the year to her 4 little boys who all went to playgroup with my kids. Very gorgeous little arrangement!

You can probably guess how I feel...

It absolutely sucks to be the one that is sitting at home making daisy chains & muffins while your husband is eating your besties .... muffins!!!!

My situation is incredibly grose - I was at her last birth, helped her to breastfeed, helped her through her vaginal prolapse, her divorce etc etc... Then whilst I was in hospital having my hysterectomy spending 6 nights in ICU after cardiac arrest she was at my house with her "muffins".... Beautiful!

They lied and denied & that was worse. If they had at least been honest it would have felt a bit better (if a situation like this can be better)...

I don't give a flying nun if they are "soul mates" - it's just wrong. You don't share muffins with your friends!

Ohhh Lordy Bloody hell, that's classy stuff alright!

I think its a whole other story when there are kids involved.

Hey sorry i dnt know u girls (besides dedicated mummy) but i found your page and had to comment.

I know it is a very hard situation to deal with and it can only be based on the individual people and situtaion at the time. So i thought i would tell you my story..

My partner was going out with my best friend (it was on off again on again thing for 3 months) He and I became real close friends during this time. It just happend that within days of them breaking up, i happened to get dumped by my then boyfriend. So this lead to my partner and I talking heaps discussing our breakups and helping eachother out etc, We would meet up at lunch spend the day together until he went home at around 3am to sleep then we would do it all again, this wasnt meant to be some big thing its just that i had finally found someone that everything just felt Right and Natural. Anyway after just a month of him and my friend breaking up he asked me out. I know this was very soon after them breaking up but when its right its right. We didnt tell her we were going out as she had started getting all *****y beause we were hanging out so much after they broke up (i understand y she would b upset) but one day she saw us out holding hands and she instantly knew. Anway time passes and i get pregnant to my partner and by the time this happens we are making a mends with my friend etc.

Anyway it has now been nearly 6 years of me and my friends ex being together and a little boy between us and hopefully another little baby soon. These things can work out as you can not help who you fall in love with. I could not imagine my life with my partner! and we are all friends again my partner and i even went over to teh Exs house acouple of weeks ago for a small party. These things can work out and it shouldnt matter how a couple got together but how good they are togther.

Dedicated mummy - you know me and my partner and what we are like, does it matter that we got together only a month after he broke up with my best friend??
