Yep

Been there buddy. And then, I look at my life now and my wife now and say thank goodness I’m where I’m at now

It’ll pass. Tell you a little story. Have a buddy that married his college GF. She was a hottie in college, thin and athletic. Vibrant personality. They get married, three kids, and the relationship sours. She turned into a fat, lazy, bitter person. Sorry, it’s the truth. They fight, a lot. Finally he has enough and leaves. Go thru a messy divorce. FF a little while, she starts the Facebook crusade about how hard it is being a single mother, blah blah. Starts going to the gym and loses a ton of weight. Constantly posting about how tough it is when you’re a single mom to take care of yourself. Now I haven’t seen her since they split up, but he had a low moment one night about it. Upset with himself for why he couldn’t make it work and blamed himself for making her into that person. Wanted to call her. At the end of the day, we are the people we are with our spouses. No one in this world knows you as well as that person. Some people are toxic. Some people go into a relationship thinking that a person will change once they’re married. Some people drop the act once they’re married because they think they don’t have to try anymore. I don’t think my buddy changed all that much once they got married. He’s pretty even keel. I know she did. Not just physically. She just quit trying. And I can promise you she doesn’t see it that way. Going on a social media crusade to try to get people to feel sorry for you because you waited until your husband left to start giving a shite about yourself tells me that. Point is, whatever you think you see isn’t reality. She may be different with a different person. And if you two can develop the type of relationship that you can coexist with your kids in the room happily then that’s great. But whatever you think you see, no matter how awesome the initial events will be, you’ll end up right back where you were. Because people don’t really change all that much.


That’s a whole lot of bullshite to type to a dude who cheated on his wife.

In moments where my husband is driving me nuts, the thought of our kids having half a life I’m not involved in snaps me back to reality. I get it from that sense. You could’ve had a lot more time with your kids if shite had worked out.


Same here. My wife can be downright insane sometimes and I'll fantasize about what it would be like to be on my own. Two things alway snap me back to reality. First, missing time with my children while someone else helps raise them. Second, there are a lot of single divorced men living in apartments on Atlanta Highway that are fricking miserable. I don't want to wind up one of them.

Well frick me. I didn’t read that far down the thread. Yeah OP, keep your shite in your pants.

Still applicable, but more for his ex’s perspective than his.

Made me think, what could've been. It was a moment.



Try not to think about what might have been,
Cause that was then,
And we have taken different roads,
We can't go back again,
There's not use givin in,
There's no way to know
What might have been
What might have been-Little Texas

I divorced in 2017. My ex and I get along fine and our two boys go back and forth between our homes whenever they want to. We don't do any schedule and let the boys decide unless there one of us (her) goes out of town. However, I never forget the bad things. EVER! No regrats, not even one letter.

You should be glad that there is still something left of your conscience to have your moment.

Best sentence in this thread.

It took over a decade, but he’s finally realizing now that he blew up his family for some minutes with a woman he probably only vaguely remembers.

Good news is that when you realize it, it probably means he’s oriented in a better direction. Hoping the best for the OP.

There is no way I would ever entertain getting back with my ex. She chose divorce and it’s wrecked a lot of shite in its wake.

Be kind, be an amazing dad, and move forward. Get off the X that allows those BS thoughts to get in your mind.

I agree with you.

He is redeemable. He has a long hard row to hoe but it sounds like there is hope for him.

So you cheated on your wife and she dumped your arse as she should have ?

So you're a pos loser with no integrity/honor that destroyed the life of your faithful wife and innocent children ?

And you come here looking for sympathy about "what could have been" if you hadn't betrayed your wife/children/vows ?

GTFO of here with that nonsense.

It sounds like you might enjoy reading Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken."
