I had lunch with my son today and occasionally his mother, my ex, comes up. I never comment other than I’m happy for her to move on or best wishes comments. We no longer speak because every effort to remain cordial became her excuse to replay every disagreement and my telling her they conversation had no point before politely ending the call. Btw, I filed about 4 1/2 years ago and have since remarried.

My advice to everyone here is to find out why someone you want to marry was divorced before. My ex cheated to try to trade up financially. My son, 25, is happy his mom is serious about someone, and I would normally be really happy she’s moved on, but….she’s continued to exhibit the same behavior with everyone she’s seen after me and is now excited to be with this guy because he doesn’t care about a prenuptial and is apparently wealthy by her standards.

Seriously, I feel a bit sorry for this guy I don’t know. No intentions to say one word and they’re both adults, but everyone here should be sure they know who they’re dating. My ex is an unrepentant gold digger and cheater.

I wish her well, regardless, but feel bad for this guy apparently about to go for one ugly ride. My caution….she’s a piece of work. No matter how wonderful someone seems, take a moment to be sure they’re who they are and aren’t pretending.
