20 years together. 12 years married. 2 young kids. She asked for divorce 2 months ago guised as "wanting to be alone" when in actuality, she allowed herself to fall in love with someone 14 years younger and break our family and marriage. Midlife crisis.
I've been spinning my wheels trying to process and understand her actions and reasoning. I've been switching between sadness and anger.
But then I was reading the Elon Musk book on a flight just now. And I was struck at how deeply focused he was on his mission and purpose. And I thought if he were in my shoes, he wouldn't give two farts about this woman. You gave me children, which is great. And now, I will casually discard your childish disloyal ass back to the streets while I focus on moving forward and achieving my goals.
And it made me realize that all this time I've spent trying to unpack the lies and truths are not worth my time anymore. I need to have a larger purpose. And that will be my focus.
It's incredibly clear what you did. Deeply insecure person allowed herself to fall in love with someone else. And destroy the family and marriage. And lied about it.
That's the whole story. Nothing more to analyze.
Thanks for the kids. I forgive you for being weak and breaking our family and vows. And I will never be friends with your disloyal lying ass again.
