"Congratulations you two!"

That home equity thing would have me absolutely losing it. You took less to protect your kids' stability and she flipped it for a windfall. That's not just painful, that's a betrayal with a receipt.

And the congratulations comment, some people are just oblivious. Or worse, they know exactly what they're doing.

If she's really that bad she will get divorced again. Continue to build a strong foundation.

Congratulations for avoiding future hell with her! I too need to go to a sports game where my ex is, but nobody is obligating us to hang out together—so we don’t. The kid sees & talks to us both, but there’s no need for you to be nearby when you hate her. The kids will understand & still love you

You go girl! Lmfao.

You're angry, and despite how it feels, your anger is a good sign. It means you're moving through grief. You need somewhere to point that anger, though, because if you don't, it's going to come out on your kids or on your ex-wife, and nobody wants that.

What have you been doing that's brought you joy?

If only they had an inkling of how much of a shitshow it actually is.

Women should be publicly shamed for leaving good men. That’s how it used to be. On the flip side, men should get the same treatment for cheating on their wives.

Tough situation my friend. Don’t let it get in on you.

henrysmyagent · 2026-05-13T04:48:43+00:00

Men, she is not your wife anymore. She is not your friend anymore.

All she is now is your opponent in an expensive lawsuit.

Would you befriend any other asshole who is trying to take half or more of you life's work?

Stop helping you ex-wife extort more than her fair share out of you!

These stories seriously piss me off.

My STBXW is dragging her feet now that it’s time to sell the house 🙄

Reflog1791 · 2026-05-13T04:05:08+00:00

For anyone else reading… no sweetheart deals on the home equity.

Sell the house and split the proceeds unless it’s a win win deal to have her keep the house.

It is a big mistake to fall for the “it’s best for the children for you to fall on your sword and give her the equity”.

If you’ve read this forum it always goes like this.

Her next boyfriend can build equity with her. You need that money to raise your kids in your own household.

syro23 · 2026-05-13T03:50:08+00:00

Well at least she is some other fuckers problem now.

RomRomTom · 2026-05-13T03:30:59+00:00

I’m sorry, brother. My stbxw won’t sign the paper, yet she onto bf #2.

Take care of yourself and the kids.

Man, that is so shitty. How are you doing? Obviously mad at your ex, but you got anything good going?
