You just didn't luck up on some give a damn.
The fact that she is seeing someone else is killing you. If she was all by herself right now, you would be just fine. But no, there is another guy giving her attention, and who knows what else, and it's making you crazy.
*******You made the decision that you wanted to.**********
Let's say you two get back together. Her children are still going to be in the picture. In a couple of months, you are going to feel the same way that you did before. Like calling it quits.
Some people have a hard time with someone else's children. You've made it very clear that you haven't gotten that close to her kids. If you liked kids, you would have. That's a HUGE part of her life. You will understand one day when you have your own.
You go ahead and enjoy your single life. You find someone to date, or not. Date all the girls that you want.
But remember this one thing. never, ever, talk bad about her, and talk yourself up into a hero, stud, catch of a lifetime.
She is still the girl that you once loved. No matter where she lives, or how many kids she has. No matter where this guy she is seeing works.
Saying bad things about her, and her situation, only makes you look like a jackass.
You don't want to be that guy.
Remember Aesop's fables? The fox that could not reach the grapes, said "they are probably sour anyway".
Don't be the fox.
You know those grapes are sweet, that's why you're still jumping for them.
