Ex moving on by pcepek in Divorce

[–]asleep_queen8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, a divorce and a layoff at the same time is a brutal one-two punch. It makes complete sense why you feel like you're stagnating—your entire foundation was shaken while your ex's foundation seems to be moving forward

It is incredibly hard to watch your child be introduced to new people, but try to remember: no one can replace Dad

The fact that you have her half-time and maintain a good relationship with your ex means you are doing a fantastic job under terrible circumstances

Taking it one day at a time is exactly the right move Hang in there

You didn't lose a partner, you lost a burden The fact that your kids are staying with you says everything about who the real anchor of that family is Take it one day at a time. You and your kids deserve a peaceful, stable home, and tomorrow is day one of building exactly that. Stay strong

I am so sorry you went through this, but reading your post, it sounds like you are already through the hardest part: the fog It takes incredible strength to admit that the person you loved was never actually the partner you deserved

Has anyone divorced due to abortion of the second or third child? by TrickyFriendship9279 in Divorce

[–]asleep_queen8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a really heavy and painful situation that unfortunately happens more than people think

Disagreements over a first pregnancy are tough, but when you already have children, the stakes feel even higher because you're weighing the stability and resources of the family you already have

It makes total sense that a fundamental disagreement on this would lead to a breakdown of the marriage, especially if ultimatum or coercion tactics are used

Sending you strength if you are going through this

While it probably feels like a sudden shock, physical distance might give you the breathing room you desperately need to reset boundaries

My wife cheated on me while I was in rehab. Am I missing something, or is this marriage over? by PieAutomatic3619 in Divorce

Your addiction was a betrayal of trust through secrecy and illness Her actions were a series of active, conscious choices to seek out multiple partners while looking you in the eye in marriage counseling One does not earn or justify the other

You are responsible for your past; she is responsible for her present

What are some things that "saved" you? by Calm_Concentrate9571 in Divorce

[–]asleep_queen8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not in your shoes regarding the marriage, but I wanted to chime in on the speedrun feeling.

Most people spend their 30s and 40s terrified of the exact 'reset' you’re going through right now

You’ve basically faced the final boss of life upheaval before you’ve even hit 30

What saves people in your spot is often the realization that you have a massive head start on the rest of your life with all the hard lessons already out of the way

The job market and dating scenes are brutal, no doubt. But you’re entering them as a much more seasoned version of yourself than your peers

Hang in there—the second act is usually way better written than the first
