i was in a relationship with my ex-husband for 18 years...it was rocky (we started very young 14 and 16)but there was love..we built a life and had 3 children...our separation was horrible,long story,,anyway,i was instantly replaced by my "closest friend of ten years".... he does some of the things we did together with her,goes places we went, she moved right into my home ,his lifestyle is almost exactly the same,except he drinks alot more(like 5xs a week),its like i never existed(except for the fights between them about me that my children tell me about,i do not ask about them,the children bring it up when it happens) he is very mean and hateful towards me, and even our children sometimes..he treats her children much better than ours together and im not exagerating..i got served with divorce papers on what would have been our 11 year wedding anniversary(she was even my maid of honor and i hers)...how can he act like our life together meant nothing,,why am i that easily replaced...ugh i feel like i am going to be sick
