I've been divorced since April now. Long story short, ex wife started "officially" dating this guy 2 weeks after our divorce. Moved in about 2 months after.

I've always wondered what I'd say when I met him. When I saw him the first thing that came to mind was thank you. I obviously didn't say that.

There was no awkwardness at all. I just introduced myself and did the exchange of the children to the ex.

He probably still has no clue who she Really is, but I have no doubt in the future he'll find out. Who knows the stories he's been told. The narrative she set in place. I could tell the look of confusion on his face when I said nice to meet you my name is...He glanced over at the ex with a confused look on his face.

I feel pretty damn good right now. One because I did it in front of my children and I can tell, at least my oldest, is always worried about what I think or feel about the situation. I showed them how adults handle situations.

I guess the lesson here is as much as you may feel wronged by what someone did to you ALWAYS take the high road. Never let anyone determine or dictate how you will react or respond. Be the bigger person.
