Hi fellas.

So, after 18 years of marriage my ex left because she wanted to be poly. We tried an open marriage and I loathed it. That's a whole story, but the high points are enough.

Anyway, this week would have been our 20th anniversary and it was tough. I grieved, ya know? Even if she was (is, more on that) a dumpster fire, I loved her very much. I was prepared to do the autumn of life with her.

I checked our state's swinger subreddit on our anniversary day, and sure enough, there she is cruising for "couples and single males," showing photos of herself getting plowed by some weirdo and spread eagle. I guess we handle these things differently lol.

It's gross. I'm so glad I don't have to live with this vile whore of a person anymore.

Since the divorce I've gotten a promotion at a job I love. I get to spend a lot of time with my teen daughters. We got a new cat. I have more money than I have ever had in my entire life.

Those of you in the thick of it: I know you're hurting in ways you didn't even think were possible.

I'm here to tell you - it can get so much better.
