Spiral,

Actually got kind of a sense of relief reading this from you for a couple of reasons.

1. It’s good to know that it does eventually go from being something that’s soul crushing to something that’s a bummer.
2. You’re actually finding some excitement going back into the single life and being alone.
3. This one is the biggest. You’re giving yourself some peace in realizing that there is probably nothing that you could have done that would have changed the fact that your wife was going to cheat and abandon the life you guys had built together.

I spend so much of my time trying to think out if there was anything I could have done or any way I could have acted. If maybe I wasn’t such a nice guy she wouldn’t have cheated on me and wanted to divorce me but as you said maybe there’s nothing at all that I could have done and this really is just on her and it’s not about me.

Sounds like you guys got married young, exactly like we did.

Really does give me some hope to see where you’re at with your sitch. I’m sure it’s still not easy but you seem to be healing. Wish you all the best going forward and thanks for giving a young guy a bit of hope for the future when right now I’m having a hard time finding any.
