What do her kids have to say about it all
It's been a three ring shite show and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. She screwed up....bad. Started having the affair last fall....around the same time she let the insurance coverage lapse on our sons truck (paying for those $150 a night hotel rooms in Columbia was more important). As I stated, she stayed home, took care of the kids and paid the bills.
Then my son has an accident in October last year which triggered a chain reaction on our insurance. It has wound up costing me a small fortune to get everything caught up.
The kids would have been okay if the bitch hadn't of told them she was having an affair and leaving their Father. That kinda split the sheets. They are 20, 17 and 14. Old enough to know the difference between right and wrong and too old to give the old....."Mommy and Daddy aren't getting along" story.
It's been tough on her. She had to bring her vehicle back to me because she couldn't pay her half of the insurance on it and it was in my name. No job, no place to stay. The "boyfriend" left his wife and is presently residing in a 21' travel trailer with no running water in the bathroom.
Not sure I've ever seen someone destroy their lives so quickly.

I have heard this very thing from quite a few friends who are divorced. You don't realize how much you are spending on bullshite until it stops.

I sincerely hope so but she had a melt down about 3 weeks ago. Blew my phone up and when I answered I could tell she was shite faced. She started saying stuff like....I hope you're happy, you win, you win. You've turned the children against me. Then she started crying and hung up.
The guy she is having the affair with is the local middle school principle. We live in a very small town and it spread like quickly. Hell, at least she admitted to it, he's such a coward he's denied the affair in order to keep his job and not get booted out of the National Guard. He and his wife have two children (9 and 12). She's gonna rape his arse in divorce court.

I know. I didn't feel that way at first. Hell, I didn't want a divorce. The women had been my best friend for 26 years. I told someone it was like being told I had a year to live. I went through all the grief cycles. Denial in which I begged and pleaded with her not to leave. Anger where I went out and caught them together three different times and then I started grieving. That shite was the worst.
Now I'm where I have more good days than bad days. The boys keep me busy but my relationship with them has really turned into something special.

Not divorced, yet. But I feel that guys pain. "No babe, we have to pay the mortgage every month. You didn't need $600 in clothes. They frown upon missing payments." But my favorite is covering 100% of the bills, then get called a cheap bastard for not blowing cash on a golf cart, etc.

Exactly. I've been amazed at how much money I have left over at the end of the month now that she's gone.

I know the New Zealand'er RL pretty well although we haven't spoken in some time. I think you and I have only met casually a few times. I know who you are from this board and the corresponding Facebook trolls you've done

Sometimes you find a blessing in even the worst of situations that still cause you pain. She will regret it even more and hate herself once the newness wears off and she actually starts settling into reality. There is a honeymoon period for everything in life.

Fair enough. If you're a friend of Ricky's, you're cool.

This all serves to put men in an untenable and unsustainable position.
Yes. I was paying nearly $2k a month in child support for two kids. My ex decided to go on lavish vacations during my time in the summers with the kids. Took her back to court for the stupid shite she did and was able to negotiate that down to $1k a month plus now I pay for daycare directly for my daughter rather than including it in child support and have a lot more say-so in how those expenses are handled. Sorry dear, no more trips to Cabo for you.

So, I guess, don't get married, don't havve kids, and if you do, work shite out.
Don't get me wrong, I love my kids. Probably the greatest thing I've done in life is to become a father. Teaching my kids things and really learning about their interests are the highlights of my life. Then again, that's just me and parenthood isn't for everyone.

It really is cheaper to keep 'er.
Ehhhhh...maybe not. I'd probably be further in debt having to keep up with the ex'es coworkers and her expensive habits. Even with lawyer fees and child support, it's worth it not having to deal with her and her family.

When I met him in mid 90s, he was at an LSU vs BR friendly match holding a 32oz of Colt 45. I was smitten.

I almost feel sorry for RL that his daughter grew up to be so cute. I hope mine is more of a smart, brainy 6 or something like that

True. But there has to come a time in a man's life that you want to have a family and a legacy to leave behind.
If anything, the best advice I can give is to give it a lot of time before actually getting married and having kids. Really get to know the person you're marrying. Maybe a two, perhaps three year engagement isn't a bad idea in this day and age.
Don't get me wrong, I don't ever regret being married in the first place. I'd never have my kids if that were the case. I love them that much and nothing could ever change that. However I would tell anyone thinking about it to give it a lot more time to really get to know the person and the family you're marrying into. It's a whole hell of a lot easier to break an engagement than a marriage. Trust me on that one.
