Should I feel guilty? I was with my ex for 14yrs. So I caught my ex wife cheating on me. I was given pictures, voice recordings, and a fu*king video for proof. I walked out 20 minutes after finding out, and never looked back. We have a 10yr old son. During the divorce, she tried to destroy me. Asked the court for alimony, child support, and half of everything I owned BEFORE we got married. She said things to our son that put him in therapy, and still tells him she’s going to kill herself when she doesn’t get her way. The divorce finished, and I was awarded primary custody, I get my house back in 12 months, and I get to keep everything that I owned before the marriage. I got a new house that’s much nicer than the one I’m letting her stay in for the next 12months. I have a new girlfriend who treats my son really good, and treats me really good as well. My son is finally becoming happy again, and I just got a huge raise at my job. The ex on the other hand is crashing. She can’t stop sleeping with different guys, drinks constantly, blow, and her reputation is spreading fast. She lost her job, all her friends are talking about her behind her back, and she’s going to lose the house, and her vehicle soon. Lost custody of our son to me, and all the money she thought she would get from the divorce never happened. She wants to get back together, but I don’t want to. She cheated....done deal. Every time we argue about something, she says she’s going to kill herself. So sometimes I start to feel guilty, but then I think about everything that happened before and during the divorce, and I stop feeling guilty. Should I feel like this? When she thought she was going to get $1800/month in child support and alimony, and my house, she had a completely different tone. So should I feel guilty about the way things turned out? I know there’s a lot of details missing, but the results should speak for themselves. She legally wasn’t entitled to any of my things, and can’t raise a child. It’s not like I did anything deliberate to make this happen. I’m curious if anyone else has felt guilty about what happened in their divorce, and how they felt with it. Thanks.
