An Interesting Development

Apparently my ex-wife has found someone new and is going to move in with him. I cannot say that I had any reaction to the news, it has been five years. I guess I wish her well; but, I cannot say I really care. I guess I was surprised by my lack of response. If she moves in with him, I stop paying alimony; but, she still gets half of my pension. If they do marry she still gets half of my retirement. I find it odd that if she does marry him, I will be paying for him and her both. It is especially odd seeing as how she cheated on me and left me for another man (not this man).

Anyways, she is introducing this man to our children. I don't know how I feel about that. I mean, if she is going to live with him and possibly marry him then they should know him. They are adults and can decide for themselves what relationship they wish to have with him. My youngest said that she wanted to see us both happy and hoped that I would find someone too; but, I'm not looking and am happy with that for the moment. As I have said before, I don't know if I want to be with someone again.

The whole thing reminded me of a song by Don Henley. It sums up how I feel, I wish them the best and hope that they are right for each other and find happiness and fulfillment.
