When the grass wasn’t greener!

I remember hoping this would happen. It's been nearly two years since she went on to pursue her affair and now I'm glad it didn't. I'm over it and done (and now divorced) but I feel like if it hadn't "worked out" between them all the devastation and destruction would've been for nothing.

I'm waiting for the same.... But honestly I would rather make myself happy.

If she's truly happy else where then great I will let that poor bastard deal with her. If they make it longer than we did great for them.

She thought for the longest time we would get back together... There is no way I would take her back.

For what reason? The dwell on the years lost only end up back together. That's fucking nuts

Honestly though I was single for 31 years prior marriage and I will be fine single for another 31 years and beyond.

Expect her to shortly change her tune going forward after she's digested that there is no hope of reverse monkey branching, because it would make her head explode to have to admit that she made a mistake.

Going through this now. Ex is calling, crying talking about not wanting to 'go on'. I worry a bit but also feel like its manipulation and mind F'ing. Not falling for it. Stay strong brother!

Kintsugi is the art of filling the cracks in a broken bowl with gold. The resulting bowl is even more beautiful than before.

Every cheating woman thinks that, like a goddamned Lifetime movie, she can talk her way back to the man she betrayed and repair the relationship she selfishly destroyed with her lies and backstabbing.

But that isn't kintsugi because she is using BULLSHIT to fix the bowl. When a wayward wife comes back, it is just like being presented with a bowl full of shit.

When I learned that my ex wife's affair wasn't a signal that I was a loser, but instead that she was the loser and I was better off without her, it was a very good day.

Is this common with affairs?

Good for you OP! I did the same to my ex.

Good for you! Stay strong brother!
