Let's see...my X husband of 18 years...I kicked him out of our house in March. He was dating someone in May. Married her in January the next year.
I ALWAYS knew he would be like that, and actually cautioned my kids up front . I explained it like this b/c it's the truth. Some people just believe they cannot function on their own. They have to have a relationship at all times. They don't believe they can be on their own, and that is OK if that is what they need.
Sure enough....that is just what happened. I think by warning my kids ahead of time it did help them not be hurt by it.
My X is like a child and does NOTHING for himself, I mean absolutely nothing. I knew he would need a new mommy...that role was over for me thank God!
