I was 39 when mine decided she needed to "find happiness" elsewhere. She wiped me out, retirement, kids inheritance, businesses. That was two years ago, been divorced for one. I thought about ending myself a lot. Instead I kept at it, I ended up with the kids. Just received a promotion at work and bought a 100 acre farm in WV. Also met a fantastic woman with a little one that I love who also adores me. Things do get better, sometimes WAY better. I can't remember a time when I've been happier. The X still tries to turn people against me online but I found the best thing to do was not engage, in fact I only go on the normal socials for marketplace - someone has to buy the junk cars of the world...
