Not so much with a problem, just a kind of update on where I’m at..
Nowadays I can basically see my boy whenever I want (which obviously wasn’t always the case), so this isn’t a problem.
Basically something happened the other day that was a very first… As I was dropping my boy off at her house, she arrived back home with her boyfriend, who lives with them.
I already knew he lived with them for at least the last few months, so it wasn’t a surprise, but I had never met him (they dated last year and finished but now are back together again).
Thing is, I didn’t really want to meet him either, as I have always felt that I don’t want to play happy-chappy and pretend I like anyone she is ever with, due to all the grievances from the past. Some of the stuff she done is just irreversible and I can’t allow that to be buried.
All we did was say hello to each other as he got out of the car. I purposely didn’t go up to shake his hand as I brought my son over his coat. Why should I be the one to do that?
I did actually have an issue with him even though we’ve never met – last year after they had broke up, I asked my son did he ever hit him,and my son said he only shouted at him. I don’t know whether this was a once-off or multiple times.
Now, I don’t even shout at my boy, so another man thinking he can shout at my boy has already crossed a line in my book. Maybe I was looking a reason not to like him, I don’t know, but the bottom line is i’ll hold it against him.
I’m not the person i used to be. I’m not that p****d off, furious guy anymore. I work for a good company. I’m starting my own business soon. I play around with hot ladies of varying ages. Life has literally never been better. However..
Some small part of me still won’t let go of what my ex done to me 7 years ago. And for that, I will never truly accept anyone playing daddy to my boy. And although subtle, it is not hidden…she knows, and he knows, and I don’t care that they know.
