Ex-husband is remarrying, but I don't seem to care.
Divorced 5yrs, he cheated, then dragged me through a terrible divorce process, but he ended up with nothing.
So, my ex (40m) called our 11yo son the other night to let him know that's he's gotten engaged to his girlfriend (24f).
I figured he was going to do it as he took her away on a big, expensive holiday.
They announced it on social media yesterday & I've been inundated with friends, family, etc. asking me how I'm coping, if I need support, if I'm angry/sad/etc. Which is absolutely lovely of them, it's nice to know they love me. But, I've been thinking about it & I genuinely don't care.
I realise I should probably have some kind of reaction to this, so I made a point to think it over & analyse how I felt, but I got nothin'.
I'm not sad.
I'm not angry.
I'm not happy.
I'm not anxious or worried.
I have no interest in any of their plans.
I'm not even curious.
I genuinely don't give a cr*p.
Which is a little unnerving for me, to be honest, as I'm usually that person who has the big emotions. I usually feel things very deeply. But this, I couldn't care less.
Believe me, I tried 😁
The only thing I ever worried about, was that any girl he got with got on with my son. I've not spent that much time with this girl, but my son spends 2 nights a week at their place & she really seems to get on with him. My ex is pretty useless & only has my son over night because it reduces his child support, so my son says the girl does all the actual "care" while he is there - like makes him breakfast, reminds him to brush his teeth, checks his homework, etc. but they also bake together, read together, etc. my son likes her & to me that's all I wanted, so I'm happy for my son, in that he doesn't have to put up with some terrible woman.
I guess my question is, is this normal?
Should I care?
Or is it good that I don't?
