Who's bringing the popcorn?
Sometimes, life involving The Ex is like a circus. Case in point:
To the best of our knowledge, New Guy is no longer in the picture and The Ex is now officially dating this new guy who we'll call Ned. (The previous blog post he was referred to as The Ex's new-new boyfriend. We now have a nickname for him :D) From what we've learned so far, Ned seems like an okay guy. From what we can find, he doesn't seem to be a criminal like Boyfriend is/was, but Ned has his own baggage.
Ned was in the middle of a divorce while The Ex was having an affair with New Guy (Who still happens to be with his wife.) Ned and his ex-wife have one child together. Ned somehow works with The Ex, at least from comments that Son and Daughter made in the past; according to his information online he's a manager. (So if/when their relationship doesn't work out, it's going to be a giant mess. I'm pretty sure that The Ex would quit or Ned would have to fire her for poor performance. The Ex isn't mature enough to work with someone that she previously dated.) Ned owns his own home, which is great for him and The Ex probably thinks is great for her, too. Ned seems to handle his money well, based on his assets.
Here's where it gets fun: as stated earlier, Ned has an ex-wife. Ned moved out of the house and filed for divorce; a week later, his ex changed her cover photo on Facebook to a picture saying something about true relationships not having secrets and lies. (Interesting, right??) Then around the time that their divorce was getting finalized, she changed it again to a picture saying:
"I'm not crying because of you; you're not worth it. I'm crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are." (Sounds like someone burned her pretty badly, doesn't it?)
After the divorce, she moved out of the house and Ned moved back in. Now to make things even more interesting, Ned's ex-wife filed a harassment restraining order against him. The court didn't grant it, but this is just a giant bowl full of Drama Stew. I feel like this is going to go one of two ways: Ned's ex-wife is going to be a total psychopath, or Ned himself is.
Don't get me wrong: I already told Husband that I hope this works out between Ned and The Ex. Ned is the first decent guy that The Ex has dated since she and Husband got divorced. I truly do hope that she and Ned can make this work because Son and Daughter need some form of stability that their mother either refuses or is simply unable to give them. In fact, The Ex's two kids with Boyfriend need stability even more than Son and Daughter do, because the only "parent" involved in their lives is The Ex. (I can't say that with 100% certainty, but based on how she treated Husband during and after their divorce, I can only imagine what she's putting Boyfriend through. Right now there is no custody order so if Boyfriend wants to see his kids, he has to contact The Ex's parents because he's prohibited from contacting The Ex directly due to the restraining order.) But with all of this going on, it's kind of hard to imagine that The Ex and Ned dating is really helping anyone at this point; they started dating while Ned's divorce was in the final stages and The Ex hadn't even filed. I feel like maybe they both need to just calm the hell down, be single for awhile, and figure out their own individual messes before diving into another relationship.
But this is The Ex we're talking about. Nothing will be easy, nothing will be simple. She wants to date Ned and that's what's going to happen. I just don't feel like any of this is going to end well.
