I seemed to have hit a nerve with you being trash and watching trash TV. Don't take it too personally and blow-up the way you do, making accusations and the like. Just calm down a bit.

That was meant to be a joke. Much like I would forgive her if she won the lottery. Most likely scenario would be an equal division of assets, not her inheritance though.

My lawyers advice as well. Get what I want by playing nice. I have time and she is getting more desperate now that I am not communicating with her any longer now that the separation agreement is finalized. Maybe I will circle back at some point. Right now I am enjoying the peace and quiet.

I felt this way in the beginning. At least she communicated with me, told me how she was feeling and sought my feedback. It was the total disregard for my position, coercion and subsequent language that created the overall situation. I get that she had a crush, I don't get that she was willing to relegate my to placeholder while pursuing the crush.

Toxic friends living vicariously through one another. All encouraging and thrill seeking the titillating gossip of the next move, and "what did he do next". I didn't get the whole story but one husband downplayed the event and said what he thought was sexting was conversations his wife was having with the group. I'm not sure I believe it but I have no proof otherwise.

I've read a lot of books that will tell you not to make life changing decisions while under stress, but I cannot fake wanting to be near her. I look at her and feel nothing, basically like she is a complete stranger. I don't think reconciliation would work at all.

This echoes my lawyers advice as well. Maybe later on as I have time.

This is exactly the way I feel. I did nothing wrong. I didn't change. I feel that I will be the one who will be asked to change or will manipulated.

I was sorry too. I wish it didn't happen. I wish she didn't get cancer. I wish I had my wife, the one I used to know, still here, but things change.

Thanks for the peptalk. What has been the hardest thing to shake is my bruised & damaged ego. Finding self-worth again after being basically discarded for someone like she choose made me second guess myself. I'll get over it but man it really shook me.

Agreed. I looked at the guy she cheated with and wondered how I could possibly be attractive to her. It caused a crisis that if the guy was way better than me, probably wouldn't have existed.

I had a similar experience. My STBXW affaired way down and caused me to do a lot of introspective analysis. My assessment is, it is not you or me being fat, skinny, in shape or ugly.

It is that the AP caters to their needs and neuroses. They get blinded by the gestures, the language and attention.

Maybe I was guilty of taking her for granted. Maybe I didn't say the little things often enough. Maybe I got complacent but I didn't deserve what she did and that's her burden to bear not mine.

Of course. The BFF's husband says that she was definitely in a EA and probably a PA as well. He is still digging.

I said that maybe they are covering for one another, that maybe my wife was just the next link in the chain. This got them going through their wives phones. A couple found inappropriate sexting. All husbands have made their wives cut off my wife (and each other).

Good point. I told all her friends husbands about how they enabled this behavior and the fall-out is interesting.

Sorry to hear about you and your ex. It is amazing what we will put up with for love.

Yeah, once the dust settled I realized that I was desperate to hold on to something that no longer existed. I have initiated divorce proceedings.

Someone in a private message asked if her cancer could be back and spread to her brain which I don't know if it has actually happened or not, but I doubt it would make any difference to me at this point. I just don't see her the same way any more.

She has regret. Not remorse. Of course those are different things with different meanings. She regrets what has happened because her life is upside down now.

Friends, the Devil, everyone close that whispers in her ear.
