My ex girlfriend cheated on me so I hooked up with and started dating her mom. She’s obviously not happy and I think I might be her stepdad someday
Her mom is a widow and hasn’t been with anyone since her husband died 7 years ago. She was young when she got pregnant and is only about 19 years older than me.
She’s one of those older women who takes really good care of herself and she was always really nice to me almost flirty but not really. I dated her daughter for about a year and we always had a good relationship and because she was alone, my girlfriend’s mom and a widow I helped her around the house sometimes.
Just basic handyman stuff like I fixed a pipe once and replaced her water heater for her etc. She was always very nice and always made me lunch and offered me money.
I’d take the food but turn down the cash. She was a nice lady and I loved her daughter so I wanted to make sure she was okay.
Well after I found out my ex cheated on me and we broke up her mom messaged me on Facebook and said she heard we broke up and was sorry to hear that.
She said she was surprised that we broke up because things seemed like they were going well. I told her in a gentle and “not talking bad about her daughter” kind of way what happened and she said she was so sorry to hear that and disappointed in her daughter and that if I needed to talk she was here.
Well I did and we we talked and after awhile she asked if I wanted to come over for dinner and maybe a drink or two.
I got there and she fed me and poured us a couple drinks then things got heated eventually and we slept together.
We started dating and hooking up in secret for a couple months. Honestly I am ashamed to say I only did it to get back at my ex at first but we ended up falling in love and we wanted to be official. We decided to tell my ex over dinner because she deserves to know the truth.
She invited my ex to her house for dinner and she was shocked that I was there of course. Her mother confessed that after we broke up we talked and started seeing eachother and things clicked really well.
My ex was NOT happy to say the least. She called her mother every name in the book while we tried to calm her down then she started attacking me and asking me how I could do this when I reminded her that she’s the one who did this.
I was happy when we were together and she’s the one who decided to cheat not me. I told her I genuinely love her mom and want to be with her and I wanted us to be on good terms and let the past be in the past.
She ended up storming out of the house and driving away. Her mother cried while I comforted her and she hasn’t talked to her mom since that dinner 3 weeks ago.
I’m hoping she’ll come around eventually. Things with her mom are great though. She’s the most wonderful woman I’ve been with and I think this could be it.
The age difference plus dating her daughter previously makes it a bit weird but I want it to work and I think we can get there.
