I'll see your basic divorce, and raise you a divorce with three kids
I love my grandchildren. There is nothing I wouldn't do to make sure they're happy. But I couldn't spare them the heartbreak from a father who suddenly abandoned them for another woman. The divorce that followed was gut wrenching.
There is a special place in hell reserved from spouses who abandon their families.
Having said that, IMO our family courts and in particular no-fault divorce laws are a miserable failure. A disgrace actually.

Why do people marry? There’s a 60% chance it’ll end in divorce. Bad odds.
It's not that high. I think it's around 39-40%.

Jodi has been smashing it for at least a year if she had the nerve to leave.

fix your problems
But this will.
You better know you dont have a partner, you have a damn roommate. She needs to commit to being your mate or GTFO, period. Life is too short. You dont want to find out you need a wife and you dont really have one when shite hits the fan and you get sick or need her.

Breakdown of the male lead family unit is the cause of a lot of America’s problems today in both the African American and Caucasian communities.

A lot of people get married for the wrong reasons or marry the wrong person when they are young and stupid.
I know I've stood in a couple of friend's weddings where I knew it wouldn't last 5 years. The two I'm thinking of lasted 1 & 2 years.

But now you don't have her spending the other half. Probably a net win there.

A lot of times, the woman cleans out 100 of the bank account.

Such a weird bump.
Especially as you weren’t even a poster in the thread.

'd imagine being married for 10+ years with kids involved is on another level.
I’ve had some breaks ups that truly fricked me uo emotionally for awhile. More than I’d like to admit. I know guys are often saying things like ‘just go get some strange’ and ‘just exercise and get back out there” and make it sound so simple, but it didn’t work that easily for me, especially those first few weeks/months.” I was truly fricked up inside, didn’t want to eat, couldn’t sleep until physically exhausted and then only sleep a few hours at a time. Nothing in the world could distract me from the ever present sadness and sense of loss. It was bad. Maybe I’m just a pussy, but I don’t often find a girl that I truly fall for and when that dissolved, I felt like it would be years until I found another even closer to that.
That’s from a break up of a multi year relationship, I can only imagine thats it’s multiplied exponentially by a sudden, walk out divorce with kids involved. I don’t know how I’d handle it, no doubt in the past it would have involved enormous amounts of alcohol, which makes thinks instantly worse in every situation for me.
I feel for you, OP. I wish that I had some wise words that would make you feel even a little better but the only thing that helps for me is TIME amd just have to suffer through it. Words don’t make that physically nauseating feeling go away and the lack of ability to truly rest makes the exhaustion crippling.
Find a counselor, talk to a friend, that’s all I can think to suggest. Spend time with the kids and fake it until you make it.
I’ve always admired people that handled breakups easily because I just don’t. At all.

I'm going through this shite. I have child support court next week and my kids live with me while I'm unemployed.
The count can't be civil for one minute. Yes, divorce sucks. I'll get through it but I have 2 young kids that's it's wrecked. If it wasn't for money the bitch wouldnt want the kids. It's pathetic. I feel bad they have to go live with her when I go back to work which will be soon.

the worst thing about the bad ones is that it seemed to have robbed all optimism from me regarding relationships. in my early 20s it was always exciting but now there's always a sense of dread in the back of my head.
