Got married at 21, now 36 with 3 kids. Wife is always angry. My mind wanders and thinks of what it could be like to be single and have roughly 2/3rds of my current income. Chasing OT 6.5's, playing golf, traveling, taking my kids on trips without a control freak present. Any divorce success stories?

Sounds like your mind is made up.


You may have 2/3 of income, but you'll be without at least half of whatever it is you currently have.

Unless a spouse is abusive to the kids or endangers their safety, there are no success stories for divorces that involve kids.

That's assuming you consider the well-being of the kids in mind when you define "success".

start by getting rid of cable so she can't sit there and watch the View and O and lifetime and get a head full of ideas that husbands suck.

I did it. My kids now think I'm a better dad, and I'm drowning in pussy


Wife didn't even take anything in the divorce

hope that shes crept around on you and you have evidence is the only way you get through this thing fairly unscathed.

sounds like you're forgetting about the pesky little "lose half your wealth and assets" part of the deal

No.
1. Decide how you can be the best husband you can be and start being that person.
2. Take it on the chin while you attempt this because she won't likely react how you want (maybe for a while), and you will be tempted to act selfishly.
3. Keep repeating.

I guarantee your wife has been planning to separate for a while now.

With 3 kids unless they are all 18 or older you won't keep much of your income....

I think you are giving yourself too much credit.

It's really impossible to evaluate a relationship/marriage from one paragraph of text from only 1 of the points of view. I'll say this, there are crazy wives and crazy husbands, but most of the time, there is plenty of blame to pass around.

Children imitate adults. By staying in an angry
marriage you are teaching your 3 kids to have angry marriages. Get divorced, find someone with whom you can create a happy home. And do this now while your kids still have a chance. Otherwise you will be responsible for all the shitty relationships they get into throughout their lives.

It can be done, but it's very uncommon. I got divorced five years ago. We have one child and from the get go we put her first. We put all of our differences aside.... We handled the division of property by ourselves and shared an attorney. I was very generous and in return she stayed away from my retirement. Today we co-parent and get along great.

All this being said several things must occur for it to work... Both parties have to be willing and there can't be any hurt feelings. If your wife feels slighted, she will try and hurt you. If you are thinking about divorce, I'd venture that she is as well. Make it seem like her idea. Next, once you split, there can be no jealousy when either party starts dating again. When feelings get in the way, things go badly.

My ex and I are good friends now. Since we have a daughter, we will always be in each others lives. It just makes sense to get along.

Would you be willing to keep the kids if she is hot enough?
