Last time I got dumped was about 18 years ago. At the time our daughter was around a year old, and I was 4 months pregnant with our son. He moved straight in with the village bike who lived across the road, whom he'd apparently been seeing for the last couple of weeks.

Took me about a week of moping around like a wet dishrag, trying to work out why he'd done what he'd done before I decided that the reason was because he was a twat. Picked myself up and got on with my life. Then discovered that life was a lot easier without him around.. been mostly single ever since.

Had a couple of short term boyfriends, but it doesn't last - Im a selfish, uncompromising cow now and will only have a relationship on my terms (terms which it seems men find hard to accept) - and I have to say I've been a lot happier single than I ever was in a relationship.

My ex, on the other hand, has jumped from relationship to relationship, marriage to divorce, and hes still a miserable bastard. Think I got the better deal out of that one.

Yeah, dull story, I know. Meh.

You don't think he might have left because you're a selfish, uncompromising cow?

Most cows are, it's the bovine prerogative.

Highly likely - but he's still a twat. Why else would he totally ignore his son for 17 years, insult his daughter on her 16th birthday and conveniently "forget" to give her the 18th birthday present he'd promised, for over a year (she still hasn't got it - she just turned 19)

He sounds lovely.
I'd have slept with him, too.

Sounds a bit like you've jumped from relationship to relationship, and are a miserable bastard too.

I dont really call two relationships, neither lasting more than a couple of months, in 18 years "jumping from relationship to relationship" - and, bastard though I may or may not be, Im far from miserable.

Good for you
I know that I am breaking protocol by avoiding pejorative put-downs, but I salute your self-confidence and search for happiness. Click from me (even if you are a bit of a slapper with both those relationships in the last 18 years).
