But three months into it (and right on time may I add according to psychiatrists) the rose colored glasses may be coming off and revealing the harsh reality of what I have done. I can never go back and undo this final act of desecration of my marriage. I've dated the one man he asked me not to. Granted, I did it because no one owns any person and it has been five years since I was married. Plus I NEVER heard from my daughter that they were friends anymore, even when I asked if daddy ever has friends over. So I thought it was relatively safe to proceed with my new life. He didn't even mention my ex once till we were dating for about a month and then it was casually thrown into a conversation about why I wasn't aware ten years ago about the major benefits of spending minor money for a top shelf drink at a club to avoid a raging hangover... True on the night he first came over he mentioned that they were friends still in a text, but I didn't know if that meant aquaintences or BFF's. I hardly ever even speak to my ex, come to find out he texts and phones him regularly. They still have a relationship where he and I do not. Just like with my now ex best friend. She and I had the committed friendship where he and I did not have a commitment at all and I held her responsible for engaging in conversation (and whatever else) with him behind my back.
A pattern is emerging here. He looks less than perfect and it looks like I got my karma back for the whole best friend thing. Touche.
He wonders were I have gone (mentally) and I wonder how I ever got here (with the wool over my eyes).
Note to self: proceed with caution. Danger, danger. Self loving, back stabbing, adulterous close at hand...
