I mean, divorce is a bad thing, but I had the best that I know of. Once emotions were taken out of it, it was amicable.
I get kids as often as I like, no prearranged cs. I pay half of tuition and what ever else is needed. I’m kept in the know and my opinion/advice is sought when necessary as it pertains to the kids. It’s as close to being as involved as it would be if we were married as possible.
Don’t get me wrong, those first few months of separation SUUUUCKED.

We didn't have kids, made about the same amount of money, and had no intense feelings of ill will for each other. We just grew apart and wanted different things out of life.
We split everything 50/50. I got the house and the dogs, but she could have them at her place any time she wanted. She traveled a lot for work so that made sense.
We each kept our own 401ks, we split savings 50/50. We each kept our own vehicles.
Recently I discovered that she must have taken the extended edition box set of the Lord of the Rings CDs we had, so she got one over on me with those
I'm remarried and it's all better.
But I do look back in sadness when I think about the two kids who met in college, fell in love, and then life threw a wrench at.
I wish her nothing but happiness.

No divorce is really a pleasant experience if you're honest about it. It Usually signifies a failure in your life, either in how you handled your marriage or your selection of a spouse at the very least, there are a few exceptions but every one of those I've seen was not pleasant either.
I think the best you can hope for is amicable. When my first marriage failed, we separated pretty amicably, no child support, no alimony, joint custody with me as domiciliary parent (much of that was an agreement regarding her going to school since I had just graduated to be revisited when she graduated, she never finished). It was very amicable, I still felt like an absolute failure and that I had let down my mom and family.
Long term, I truly feel my current wife is exactly the woman I needed in my life and we Will celebrate 28 years of marriage this February. So I guess that is the positive, but it takes a while to truly get there, IMO.

the day my divorce was final, I was supposed to have my kids for the weekend, my ex went straight from the courthouse and pulled them from school and went on a ski trip to Colorado for a week, all in violation of the custody agreement, and it went downhill from there

My ex was 4 years younger.
Current is 8 years younger.
My biggest is danger is the month of May.
May 2nd is my wedding anniversary with current wife.
May 27th is Ex's birthday.
May 30th is current's birthday.
May throws 3 opportunities at me to frick something up

Try doing that in your early 50's. Doesn't get any easier. Been 12 long years.

Yes X10 what the guy says about bad mouthing the mother. I once read Drew Brees autobiography and he talks about this. He had divorced parents. Only thing he regretted, they were always trying to get him to take a side.
I have an ex-wife who is a Scorpio. She can’t talk without insults or jabs or confrontation. It makes it rough but I am not alone as you can read in all the other poor dads posts above

The funniest thing was when my son said that my ex was going to get her older brother to "come get me". I just said, "I don't think that's going to happen son, I wouldn't worry about it".
First, her older brother doesn't bother with her nonsense and has better things to do and second even if he did want to give me a piece of his mind he's all talk.

Yes. It just helps if neither of you can stand to be in the same room anymore, not even caring enough to fight.

ex was pure evil and tried to destroy everything she touched, the only relief I got is that she drank herself to death, she was literally still trying to frick with me up until the month she died, after having been divorced for almost twenty years, did a number on the kids
1. this explains why you're such a cocksucker sometimes
2. how much does one have to drink to dink themself "to death"? asking for a friend.

Okay so. If I drink like about a pint of vodka 2 times a week, is that going to kill me?

This is the reality.
I'm 3 years and change out now and my life has improved in a ton of ways. I also still miss sometimes having someone to come home to and do simple shite with. Like grocery shopping. Little things.
It's life, it's a mixed bag.
