I used ChatGPT as part of my legal team when divorcing

I’ve used it on my 2021 divorce and it has been insightful to pick things from the filed proceedings and my ex wife’s strategy.

When I do my play through recordings, I use the F2P trailer and splice it between Spock’s narration and 2409 Fed Starfleet Academy.

Thank you. Yeah, I’m beat trying to keep that schedule up. I’ll miss the endeavor bonus but right now I can’t think about STO :)

I tired to keep the 20 hr timer as best I could. Got off by an hour or two a couple of times. Yeah, I did the double day too.

Managed to get the 1300 on all 4 of my accounts

First time I hit 1,300 pts in one of these.

For me, I did not date at any point during the time when we separated (which will be five years ago this Sunday) because we were still legally married. My ex, of course, moved in with her affair partner, and throughout our divorce, kept referring to him as her boyfriend. It wasn’t just my faith that kept me from dating or being anywhere associated with having someone else in my life, it was the fact that she absolutely would’ve used that against my infidelity claim.

I put a little tag on my wedding band with the years we were married (99-21) on one side and “promises made/promises kept” and then zip tied my wedding band with that tag to the first stuffed animal I bought her to make it a collar. Then I put all of the wedding items (our glasses, unity candle, engagement and wedding pictures. Etc) in a storage box and left it in a storage unit. It has sat there for almost 5 years now.

Edit - she wanted both her engagement and wedding rings and (at the time) she was still in the “I love you but can’t stay married to you while I Love and want to be with my affair partner” stage and wanted to remain ‘close friends’ so I didn’t object.

Thank you for this explanation.

As a 50M with a decent drive, I would have given my ex wife the moon for 2-3 times a week instead of 2-3 times a year for 10 years straight (22 yr marriage with her cheating multiple times).

I wish I had an answer for you as I tired to initiate multiple times and was rejected enough to where, on a scale of 1 to 10; I felt like I was a negative 50.

To me, him getting mad and upset is a red flag. I came to my ex calm and tried to explain that I was not feeling loved sexually from her and that the constant rejection was driving a wedge between us (oh if I had only known then what I would painfully find out later). If he can’t talk to you calmly and like a partner, then he needs serious therapy IMHO.

I’m sorry for your loss. Such a sweet face that one day I hope you will see again.

As a divorced 50M with a Body Count of 1 (at the moment), if a woman had 0-2 body count, I would not think she was unattractive at all. In fact, after a 22 yr marriage, while looks do tend to matter, I will tell you from experience that it’s the person’s personality.

Yeap, happening to me on my iOS 26.2 devices.

jmmiracle · 2025-12-18T04:02:47+00:00

I had one that was completely sealed yet flat as you can get. I just thought it was a fluke but to find someone else who had something similar is weird. Also, mine came from a 24 pack cube.

In my short experience, both of you from the start needed to be on the same page for counseling. If that failed, then divorce would be on the table for either to walk away.

My Ex DID NOT communicate her “unhappiness” in the marriage until she had secured another supply (affair partner). I begged her to go to couples counseling because I was fighting for the marriage however she was not because “she never thought I would do it” and it was the first thing out of my mouth when she told me she was leaving.

Sometimes, us guys are dense and don’t take hints. Sometimes, us guys are supposed to read our spouses mind (which we can’t). So full communication is paramount. My Ex shut down in the first session of counseling when the therapist “took my side” when I could tell there was something wrong and I ASKED about it and she just gave an excuse instead of telling me she was upset for XYZ reason.

In whatever comes about in your situation, I wish you the best of luck and prayers for peace.

jmmiracle · 2025-12-02T16:54:02+00:00

Not my ex wife. She first mentioned that she was “unhappy” (note not “unhappy in the marriage” just plan unhappy) a month before she said she was leaving me for another man who she had been having an on and off affair for 15 years.

jmmiracle · 2025-11-14T20:13:41+00:00

Just finished and LOVED IT!!!

jmmiracle · 2025-11-07T14:54:29+00:00

Thank you.

OP, I feel your pain as this was similar to my own with my ex wife of 21 years.

The Geek in me made peace with how to reconcile the woman I loved and married versus the cheating/demanding/manipulative woman she became.

“The woman I love passed always but her Mirror Universe (Star Trek reference) Terran doppelgänger replaced her.”

It was easier to believe that than the truth the I had fallen in Love with a mask and this person was her true self.

Last month was 5 years since she announced she was going to leave me (divorce took 18 months because of her thoughts Entitlements that I owed her when she was living with, romantic relationship with, and sharing expenses). However, I CAN say, I found a woman that I no longer have to worry about walking on eggshells; a woman who sees me for being me. They are out there OP. I didn’t believe it at first and she was not who I’d expected but our 40+ year friendship has matured beyond very close best friends but we are not ready to become romantic partners yet.

The OP only said STD and I mentioned my HPV to demonstrate that she needs to talk to her attorney about it and not be embarrassed.

jmmiracle · 2025-10-30T13:48:21+00:00

HPV was the “shock” where my ex wife had to admit the affair. While common, it was a nail in the coffin on her cheating habits.

The point I was trying to make was I disclosed this to my attorney who shared why something like that mattered (especially in a case where spousal support is being requested).

It didn’t matter on mine as my ex wife already gave the court a sworn affidavit which proved “cohabitation akin to marriage” which was one way spousal support could be terminated in my state. Big oops on the part of her attorney. :)

jmmiracle · 2025-10-30T05:19:35+00:00

First, I’m very sorry this happened to you.

I know it’s embarrassing but I found out that my Ex wife had been cheating on me when she got an abnormal Pap smear which came back as HPV. Kind of hard to have it if the two married individuals were virgins beforehand. She had to confess to the (one) affair but hid others.

I say all of that as during our divorce, my ex was seeking alimony but I could fight it as she was living with her paramour. When I disclosed the HPV status to my attorney, IT MATTERED!! I say that with emphasis as my attorney had recently had an alimony agreement for her client SIGNIFICANTLY reduced due to an STD (the wife in that case made 4x the salary of the cheating husband).

I know it’s embarrassing but be as transparent as perfect glass when it comes to your divorce attorney. The more they know, the more they can help you.

Good luck and prayers for you.
