Thanks Bill3. You are spot on. If there weren't children I probably wouldn't feel as hurt as this and concerned. It is so hard to see the person you loved moving on with their life, even though I am doing the same thing. I guess I just never thought this would ever happen. I am definitely in the grieving process, that's for sure. Everything just seems so surreal and scary.

But I do have a genuine fear and doubt about this new woman, not just becvause she is with my ex-husband, but because of her interest in finances and talk of marriage so early on. Apparetnly her family is very traditional and conservative, hence the push for marriage within the next couple of years, but my gut feeling says there is another reason......
