After long last.
Short history. She got pregnant. I suggested abortion. Instead she wanted to keep the baby. (Still BP at this time, although I had some strong alpha tendencies) I stayed to avoid social repercussions. We get married after the baby is born. (Didn't want to, but I was a pussy) We separated just short of two years after many failures of shit tests and eventually went full-on beta + she met a guy at work. I admit that I wasn't very happy in the marriage.
My goals were set aside because my money = family money. We just couldn't climb out. My evenings were filled with weed smoke and Netflix. I became a shell of my former self. There's a photo of myself with the chamber of commerce volleyball team, a few weeks after separation. Man, I looked frail.
One thing lead to another as I Googled the answers for why she left. Came across TRP and MGTOW. Swallowed the pill whole in one night and began my transformation. Monk-mode during the winter, easing up during the spring.
Now, my interactions with strangers are up 85%. Eye contact is fierce. I put on 20 lbs of mostly muscle. I'm eating clean, and have several new hobbies. My confidence went up ten-fold. I notice the difference in the way people interact with my. I now take the lead, but of course defer power where it must be deferred. (48 Laws). I now see my life as a constant evolution. My focus is on my goals, and I even want to write a book on the side.
My ex and I get along fine. She's noticed my change and begged to come back in December, but I declined. My evolution/life as MGTOW is too important to me. She's now in my frame 95% of the time. I tell her to do things for me and she gladly does them.
Our custody schedule is on-point. Split right down the middle. 50/50. We're both happy with it. I'm a way better father now. I was shit before. She didn't ask for alimony or child support. Not even during our hearing. As long as I pay for day care, she said. No problem. I can do that for my child. Property? What property? We split what we had already.
The judge looked at our schedule and agreed that it is an even split, but for clerical reasons one of us has to be the custodial parent. I stepped up to the plate. Ex didn't say anything. She agreed with everything.
Later on that night, I told my father how it turned out. He said I made out like a "Bandito." I guess my point is, not all divorces are ugly. If you can get your ex to like you again, she'll get in your frame and do whatever you say. Just see them as children and you are guiding them through this difficult time. If she wasn't in her Epiphany Phase, I could be her AF if I wanted to.
PS: She wanted the divorce, but was lagging on submitting the paperwork we both filled out, so I filled out my own and submitted it. I made it fair. I'm not trying to fuck her. She fucked herself with her living situation now.
I'm now officially/legally a MGTOW. This is my cakeday.

You forgot the part where you take her out for an Egg McMuffin before dumping her.
