I just had a mediation meeting with my soon to be ex-wife today. Maybe it’s just because I’m in the thick of it, but it seems to be happening an alarming rate lately. The affairs, the divorces, the breakups- what the hell is going on??

I can’t relate to a lot of the advice in this sub, unfortunately, because my wife and I built our entire lives from nothing. We now both have good jobs, and she got a job in January making double my salary. Then changed eating habits, started working out, and pushed me to the side so she could get some strange. It sucks- and it keeps me awake at night thinking about it, but the court will rule 50/50 on everything. We are mostly agreeing, but we’re each being difficult about the compromises. It’s almost like she didn’t think through how difficult a divorce was before she took the ring off….
