Thanks brother. I have talked to a lawyer. I’m pretty solid, we make the same amount and she gets child support from the father. So I don’t have to pay anything and she can’t come after me for spousal. I’m switching the accounts tomorrow

So what is your CURRENT situation with her? If she has left the marriage and enforced separation, I assume you have no financial obligations to her children whatsoever. Just from what she have said already, she seems to have developed an irrational hatred of you (I agree with the bipolar idea). Are you saying she still has access to your bank account? What about your investments? Your retirement funds? If she isn’t giving you reason to be concerned, now’s the time to get that way. Cancel joint cards, over the phone if need be. You can’t have her control your life... any aspect of it, for another second. She wants out of the marriage? Fine, that means COMPLETELY OUT. She’s on her own.

I was devestated and asked for time to get my head wrapped around this. She badgered and bulldozed. The house has been sold. I put enough in to cover my half of the mortgage. We leased a nice SUV that I was stupid enough to put in my name. She has agreed to pay half the cost of paying off what is owing on it.

We have agreed not to come after each other’s pensions or ask for support. She keeps saying she wants closure and she will have that when we have sold the house.

I got no closure, I don’t know how long it went on, or if she made contact or he did. Her story kept changing. Says they’re just friends. I have lots of friends but i don’t fuck any of them.

Worst part is I have to go NC and I raised those kids as my own, so I know that to maintain my mental health I have to cut contact with them.

I hope he is worth it, cause she has destroyed me

Strength brother, how is your head? Messed up I am sure, but I am sure you heart is aching. You have done everything she wanted but have received no real answers. Try to keep your mind clear, talk with friends, expose her ways, take no shit. Post here to vent.

One day at a time

She’s only destroyed you if you allow yourself to be destroyed.

Yes she hurt you deeply and we all understand your pain and the consequences of her actions. I call it the emotional roller coaster. You will survive it. We all do. But it’s a process.

Professional counseling can be a lifesaver during this time. Please consider it.

I am seeking counselling, one day at a time, it is getting better, I’m more angry now than hurt. Approaching my family, who live out west, she’s only met them about 7 times was a huge wake up call. The hubris of her to seek validation for cheating from my family was stunning. She also was using my daughter who’s 21, to try and get info.

I'm sorry this happened to you man.

You know there are some people who don't see marriage as a long term commitment. They see marriage as disposable, and spouses as replaceable, so long as they get what they want from that spouse for the duration of the time they decide to stay married to them. Then once that person is no longer deemed useful to them, they throw that spouse away and find another.

This is the kind of person you hooked up with. I would bet you hard money she is lying her ass off as to why her last relationship ended. You should track down the kids' dad and hear his side of the story.

It’s almost identical to what she said about him, right down to her and her mom saying she need counselling to stop picking the same type. She told me that she had to cheat to get out of a toxic situation. I’m far from perfect, but was a good stable father figure to her kids, who by the way still text me at least once a week asking about something.

What I can’t seem to wrap my head around is the going from your my best friend to almost hatred and the villianizing of me in the relationship.

Because it was never a true marriage. You married a parasite my friend, not a wife. This woman sees marriage as nothing more than a tool to service her needs at the moment. You no longer serve her needs. There was never any true love there. A person like her isn't capable of true love or commitment.

How many husbands did her mom have?

2. The second one is the most brow beaten guy I’ve ever met.

I hope she gets herpes/COVID/gonorrhea/her ass gets bigger and her boobs fall off. I hope that doesn’t make sound petty.....

Dude, I am rollin up on two years out from dday1, D was final last December, and I still hope he gets necrotizing faciitis of the dick Not petty at all!

You're gonna feel all the feels for a while, but I promise it does get better. Just keep your interactions with her as short and sweet as possible and save the venting/boob-falling-off stuff for close supportive friends. Just my 0.02.

I’ve only told a few close friends, everyone else is just in shock, they thought we were great, no one saw it coming.

I’ve had no direct contact since July 18, when a couple who our good friends saw her going into a motel.

A close grounded friend is acting as a go between, she feels it’s better for my safety that way. This woman is the most grounded, no bs type, and she is sick of my WS behaviour. She keeps trying to tell our friend about the “situation” as she calls it but friend wants nothing to do with it, she says when it crashes and burns she can then wash her hands, she wants know part of helping her after the way she has acted.

Forgot to post, WS spouse is upset with me for saying she’s having an affair and warned me through our friend to stop it if I know what’s good for me.🖕🖕🖕🖕

Well she’s a real prize isn’t she? She’s upset you are saying she’s having an affair.

Maybe you should ask her what word is acceptable to her to describe her behavior with the OM?!!

She’s a peach, very very concerned with how people see her, drives her nuts if someone doesn’t find her cute, bubbly and funny.

Keeps threatening a workplace harassment complaint if I tell anyone at work. She knows it would destroy her narrative of just ending it because “I’m “ the bad guy.

Blindsided2425, what's you plan?

She seems very evil trying to destroy your character, are you concerned about that?

If yes, can you hire a PI and get evidence on her affairs so you can set the picture right?

Document her threats and take them to Work and let them know she is threatening you.

Maybe you need to see a lawyer to protect yourself too.

She is being incredibly mean, not her usual character. Most of her threats are baseless. Is that she got what she wanted the house sale she’s happy. I have been I touch with my Union President. He suggested sitting on it and see if she calms down, said it’s a woman’s world and will be an uphill battle with HR, they’re are entirely female staffed.

She did make the mistake of telling him she would file on me if I didn’t sell the house and was monitoring spending out of acct. said I was bullying her by eating out so much. I’m house sitting across the road from a small pub, cheaper to just eat there than buying groceries, not that I had much appetite.

The Prez told her that by threatening to file a complaint he would be called as a witness against her. She didn’t like it but I think got the hint.

Blindsided2425:

Sorry you are going through this. Do everything you can to protect yourself. I know your head is spinning with the deception. Take care of you. I was thinking about your journey today and then Westway stated my thoughts much better than I. Your WW is a user. She manipulated and lied to get what she wanted out of you, and then, when it suits her pleasure, she is done and moved on to the next poor guy. Westway nailed it in his last few posts. Sorry you got taken in by this fraud. But the sooner you get out of denial the better. Good luck.
