My ex wife who I was with for 30 years, which I still love deep down, cheated on me and constantly put me down after many years of giving her everything society told me she wanted.

During our marriage she constantly complained because I couldn't provide her with a lavish lifestyle. I was young at the time so the peer pressure got to me and I ended up working 60 hour weeks to provide it.

Then the complaints started to be I never have time for her. So I made time by opening my own Chicken shop business and having it do well over the first 2 years. I used that money to pay off credit card debts on all her cards but a year on she had even more and I had to use money which I didn't have. Business failed. Then she complains again that we never have money and I'm having too much spare time.

I decided that I need to do what's best for me so I got a job as a consultant, worked hard and nearly paid off our mortgage for the next 20 years. She however, cheated on me all this time, called me a failure and overall seemed unbothered whether I was present or not. We were having sex once a year. I left her 6 months ago after finding pictures on her phone sleeping next to a man we'll call James just for names sake.

After copying the number down from her contacts I called him and he confirmed he didn't even know she was married but they'd been sleeping for years. Confronted her, she didn't care. Her own words.

6 months later, I'm still completely heartbroken but I'm moving on, the confidence gained from No Fap and exercise is showing. However this is where it gets weird, now she's texting everyday all of a sudden apologising and saying she wants to talk, make amends, seen me drive past her in a new car with another girl, asking how I could afford this (I was tempted to say cause I DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR BULLSHIT) but I let it go.

Long story short, started No Fap, worked hard, learned meditation, exercised, focused on me, bought a new car, got promoted and now she wants in again. My my, how the turn tables..
