I don't know when I last saw my ex-husband. For a long while we lived in different states, now we live in different countries.
Exactly 7 months to the day after our divorce was finalized, he remarried. During our marriage he had a succession of affairs. I don't know if he was emotionally involved with the women or if it was purely physical. But the last woman he was involved with became his next wife. I knew her although I would say we were more acquaintances than friends.
Our marriage died long before the separations and subsequent divorce so I wasn't surprised that they he had remarried so quickly. And while it would be understandable to think that I was angry with both of them, I honestly wasn't. I don't mean to say that I didn't have moments of sadness while recalling happier times in our marriage but his relentless deceptive ways (which were not limited to being unfaithful) coupled with his volatile temper and abuse made it much easier to envision a life without him. So I always harbored a sense of gratitude that this woman, his current wife, captured his heart and his attention. She honestly did me a favor.
My life has been an interesting and much more peaceful journey since then.
I recently learned that his wife had developed cancer for which she underwent treatment but it was not successful. The next step was surgery which required an amputation of one of her limbs. I was deeply saddened to learn this. And I have been keeping her in my prayers. I can't imagine the emotional and physical pain she must be enduring. I hope my ex, her husband, stands by her and takes care of her. But only time will tell.
