Offended but justified?
Thank you for all the replies. At times, I wonder if I am too sensitive. Apparently I was not in this case and I appreciate your responses.
In case you were wondering, I am not seeing him anymore. I just couldnt get passed it and I wouldn't have handled it well if he had said things to my children.
I tend to believe there is good in every person which can get me into trouble. I am not sure if he was being cruel or not. I think I may have found someone with a little more damage than i am prepared to handle. Lord knows i have my own damage to deal with. However, I am choosing not to stick around to find out. I haven't always felt like I was worth better, but I am learning too. If you would have asked me four years ago if it was better to be miserable or alone, I would have chosen miserable. I obviously did because I was still miserable in my marriage. However, today being alone isn't so bad.
I was a little surprised about the comment asking if i was that desperate for a man. I will look at that a little closer. I think the kids and I are doing well. We take dance and self defense classes together. We go out as often as we can to movies. I have two jobs I love. I go out with the girls when I can. This weekend 4 of us are going to go on a mini vacation...just us girls...which i am so excited about!! I dont sit home pining for a guy. I do admit to wishing I could find someone I really click with. But my life is not lacking because I am waiting for someone to come find me. However, maybe I am holding on too long when I know I should move on. hmmm. Hey i am all for a kick in the ass when needed. I will investigate that.
Anyway, thanks for the support. This is all so new to me. I had no social interactions for years. I didnt leave my home for two years. Confrontation seems HUGE to me as I am still getting down the normal conversations and interactions yet. lol. I will get there. Life is good today!

I'd have punched him in the nose and then walked away. But going forward you don't need a negative jerk like that in your life. There are plenty of good men out there, leave the childish boys to their childish ways.
