Best thing that ever happened to me was to escape that marriage BS.

Congrats. Enjoy.

I have kids. It was awesome for them too, like a hostage getting free.

I was the same way for about the first 5 months after my wife left then I hooked up with the nice attractive woman and things got better.

I won’t tell you it solves everything but when your balks deep in some strange and blow your load you won’t be thinking about your ex

Quite possibly, but whether she received good advice or bad, it was her decision.

This is when you find out who your true support system is. Don’t worry about imposing…you are in a time of need.

Think of it this way….if it was your good friend that was hurting…would you think they were an inconvenience in needing you as their friend to spend time with?

One day they will need you, pay if forward then. Or buy them dinner and drinks as a thank you when you get to the other side of this. Cause you will…but it just takes time. Which sucks, but if you try to avoid the pain or delay it, etc…it makes it much worse and takes even longer to get to a good place.


It feels like the end of the world and sometimes it physically hurts how badly you feel but better days will come again.


And karma will one day get her cheating, lying arse and that will be a day you can sit back and just smile

Say this in threads like this all the time but I will again. Some of you choose very poorly. Very sad.

Don't give her a divorce, contest everything, make her suffer . That's cold assed hurtful shite that she did. Make her sign a quit claim to the house, but refuse to refinance into your name only.....then walk away and stick her with half the bill



Cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Lawyers are the only winners in that scenario.

I know it’s stupid and you’ve heard it a 1000 times, but go to the gym. Outside of work, every single thing you do should be an investment in you. In the end, you will be far better off.

Also get laid.

Not trying to be funny here because I know the situation you're in now sucks but damn if this doesn't sound like heaven.

If you're the guy that screwed around on his wife and got caught, well, this is the result of your choices. Man up and take your medicine.

If you're not that guy, still man up. If she walked out because she didn't love you you're better off. Spend some time alone (No really alone not picking up skanks at a bar to hook up with.) Just do you and enjoy yourself, a man that can't be happy alone is a man that will not be happy with anyone. Just don't get too comfortable being alone. There comes a time when you get set in your ways and becoming a partner again is difficult because you lose the willingness to compromise

Dive into the Bible. Scripture is the best medicine for all ailments.

This is what a rational person would think of your decision to marry her:



For you to trust her that a potential child is yours without DNA proof would also fall into that category.

Move on with your life without alcohol.

You’ll look back in 5 years and be thankful.

With alcohol, you’ll probably have a couple more train wrecks in your history.

This, but he needs to just hit it and quit.

There can be a bit temptation to try to jump into another relationship in order to soothe the wound of the break-up. This rarely (if ever) works out as the soon-to-be-divorced person is usually trying more to just be in a relationship than having an actual bond with that other person (thus eventually doubling down on relationship drama).

OP needs to just bang around for the next year or so, avoiding relationships while he works on himself.

Ive been in your exact shoes. The pain is going a hurt for a little time. Here are some experience pointers

Your lucky no kids. You think your heart got crushed? Be glad it wasnt with young kids involved.

Dont try to date anyone for at least a year maybe longer...youll end up hurting them because your not healed yet. It takes real time.

Yes get out when ready and get lots of sex brother.

"Time" is the only answer. It could 6 months or 4 years unfortunately to get over everything.

Get into gym and get it back.

When you go through anxiety about it call your family or friends.

Get other hobbies. Go fishing


Youll get through this. God always has a plan, yours isnt finished and whats best for you is still on the horizon. She wasn't meant to be. The real woman out there for you is still in the wings and she will be everything you desire! Just live right and wait. When the right time comes for the real "Ms. Right", youll know it.

In time you will see this! It will be ok.

She has a close friend that has always wanted to take you for a roll in hay. Find that chick and do very perverted things to her.

on July 4 1999 I was grilling on my back deck enjoying the summer day at my lovely new house in the woods with my 3 year old. We had a new Tahoe in the driveway, a boat under the shed that I worked three years to save for, my job was finally taking off and my wife and I had good friends and a supportive family on both sides. Life was good, I was 33 years old

Wife comes outside and matter of factly tells me she doesn’t want to be married anymore

I went into a complete tailspin and if not for my best friend who stepped up for me and carried me I don’t know what I would have done. On November 4 that year a good woman came in and saved my life, she’s been my partner now for almost 25 years

go to therapy and go get your life back
