Lynn09,
thanks for the advice. To answer your question, ABSOLUTELY NOT! I stopped cooking, cleaning up after him, or babysitting his son when he said we were through. He and his ex-wife have joint custody of him, and she only lives a couple of blocks away from us, so he goes home.
You want to hear something ever more strange about this whole situation, this mutual friend that my ex is having an affair with used to be his ex-wife's best friend before she married my ex, and when they got divorced this mutual friend stayed friends with my ex and stopped talking to his ex-wife. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE? I talk to his ex-wife and she knows what is going on with her, and she told me that she asked this girl why she would really want to be with him after knowing what he's done to me and her in the past, and she says she can't help it, she's falling in love with him, but she doesn't want to leave her boyfriend of 16 years. I feel like I'm stuck in a soap opera. Anyway, hopefully I can get a few friends together to help me move my stuff and get the heck out of here. I know it's going to be hard once I leave, but it can't be any worse than this.
