Back in 2022 on my now ex-wife and I's 3rd year anniversary she asked for a divorce after our anniversary date. We had 2 young kids ( 1 and 2) and I just turned 23. My world went upside down. I got on my knees and begged her while balling my eyes out to not leave me. As I was on my knees crying and begging her to not leave me she looked at me and laughed in my face. I then realized I was making a fool out of myself and she didn't care.

A couple of days later she sat me down and told me that she cheated on me with her co worker. There was suspicion before she admitted it due to her working really late as a waitress at a fancy restaurant, which was normal. But the "late" shifts were turning into not coming home until 3am every weekend. So it did but didn't shock me that she cheated on me.

I decided to find a marriage counselor as I wanted to save this marriage not only for her and I but for our 2 little ones, and thankfully she agreed to go. The counseling went well but the 3rd time we went our therapist brought up the cheating and my now ex wife went off and left the room. She said she will never EVER come back as she said our therapist was "one sided". Which was very untrue.

A couple of days later my now ex wife told me that that was nothing that I can do or say that will keep her to stay married to me. This broke me, I went from being a healthy fit guy to only sleeping 15 hours a week because I just couldn't stop thinking about losing my whole world.

I went from being a full-time parent to my kids and married to divorced and now a "part time dad". I grew up wanting to be married once and have multiple kids and live the American Dream. Now it's all gone. I was depressed and not wanting to be alive anymore as I felt like at that time I failed my kids and myself.

I lost my money, car and basically almost everything I own. My parents lended me there car so I could at least get to and from work.

Fast forward 3 years after my divorce, I am happily married of 2 years and we have a child together. We are trying for another one and we are looking to buy a house currently. I am treated and loved as a man should get from his wife. We have a strong strong marriage and she is the greatest blessing I could ever ask for. My other 2 kids are very understanding and love there step mom.

If you are going through a divorce I hope this makes you feel comforted about the future because yes it may seem impossible now but it gets better I promise. You just gotta fight to get out of the fog of war you might currently be in.

If you are post divorce and see this I hope this helped you as well.
