My wife got engaged

Don't worry bro, one man's trash is another man's trash lol. You are in a better position in life and not rushing into another marriage trap. Live a great life with your new lady and have a strong relationship with your kiddos. You'll be set. Focus on health and success...you'll be rich in no time.

Not trying to be mean but that story isn’t special it happens to all of us and usually way worse who gives a fuck what she’s doing or where she’s going . Focus on being a great father and your relationship . Stay strong

I loved telling everyone my wife was pregnant, this was pure joy!

Oh it wasn’t mine.

Comparison is the killer of joy

Focus on creating the life you want to have

You can't complain. You're both married and are both cheating on each other. You both have no standards for yourselves and will reap the results.

Sorry to be harsh but you have lost. A man without self respect, a purpose, and integrity is never going to be a winner.

This is what I think my stbxw would have done, but her dad died last year. When he died, her mom got something like $7mil. She gave her 3 daughters $30k each. She pays all of my stbxw’s bills, while she acts like she’s broke and can’t afford anything without me paying a crazy amount for spousal and child support (even though I have sole custody atm). I think she would run into another poor soul’s arms if her mom wasn’t funding everything.

This is exactly the same for me! My ex-wife got engaged 4 months after she started to date this new guy. Saw the ring last January. It's a nice diamond about 2-3k plus. Glad to know where her standards are. I also found out from a mutual friend he took her out to Vegas over Superbowl weekend. I am pretty sure they were trying to get married in a chapel, but she found out he isn't divorced from his second wife. Apparently his stbx lawyered up and this is being dragged out. Lol. Her life is not mine. She divorced me out to sleep with a married man with kids.

Not gonna lie, I was hope that horizon fw, had a reference to area 51 in it.

8 months and some dude is getting married to your ex? he’ll have fun with that. dont sweat it and just be cool with your kids.

chuyito801 · 2025-03-08T16:42:32+00:00

Good for her, hope it makes her happy and your coparenting easier. I wish the same for my ex (as long as the guy is safe or healthy with my children hopefully).

blahblahnookie · 2025-03-08T14:35:10+00:00

Hmm. Not sure how well I would deal with what you’re going through, my STBXW is insecure enough there’s a good chance she will be hard to live with.

I feel like you’re at a fork in the road with your kids, you can either embrace the fact that they like their new found friends they call their step-brothers or you can just stay resentful about how life moves on. I don’t want to dismiss your grief though, divorce is one of the most difficult things to grieve and work through without becoming a Scrooge. I really hope you can find a way to be there for your kids. They may not see it for years, but being present for them no matter what you’re going through is a priceless gift.

THX1138-22 · 2025-03-08T14:00:08+00:00

Those two will likely divorce once the new husband runs out of money. Just focus on yourself, set goals and strive for them, be the best you can be, and be a role model and beacon for your kids. You’ll be the winner in the end, no matter what she does. Put her in your rear view mirror.

This is blunt, but ex wife. It takes time and stings but she's not your problem anymor3

You need to level up and focus on your happiness, gym and a better job. If you cant improve yourself then maybe she made the right decision?
