SHOCKED AND APPALLED

Well, apparently I had quite the wrong end of the stick when it comes to my breakup.  The full venting is located on my double-secret probation blog, but I have to say something here, too.

Question: Is it normal, a mere five days after breaking up with someone you have purported to respect and care about for the past twelve years, to go on a date with the new girl at work?  And then to go on several more after that, with no intention of stopping?

Is it normal to take her to a party with all of your friends and family, less than two full weeks after said breakup?

What kind of a person DOES that?

Moving on is part of life, and screws fall out all the time---the world is an imperfect place.  I get that.  I was planning on moving on myself, after a decent amount of time had passed.

His dating a girl (whom, logic dictates, was essentially waiting in the wings) so quickly is just ugly, and mean, and disrespectful, and cold, and it means that I can never be friends with him again.

I can't be friends with someone who values and respects me so little, and is so unaware that his recent actions serve mostly to humiliate me in front of all of our friends.

I don't even want to know someone like that.

Which is going to be really awkward for all our friends.  Sorry in advance, guys, but it's not my fault---this one is all on him.  I have suffered the many and varied shades of his idiocy for a long time now, and willingly.  I was willing because I loved him, and I had faith in him to be more careful with me than he's been with past girlfriends.  Because it's me.

But I'm just not capable of getting over this last bit.
