Need advice: How do you deal with wife's affair, divorce?

21, I'm pretty sure petition to dismiss means no divorce.

Secondly, with no hearings or movement in the case, that tells me it never got very far. With kids, I think you'd at least have a temporary custody hearing or something.

Nope - I'm gonna go ahead and celebrate! ;D

C'mon - we both called that one early in this thread.

 

I know, I know....I just don't want him to get his hopes up.

She could file for dismissal and he could still want the divorce, I think.

But yeah, this one was pretty obvious. 8)

 

Karma's a bitch.

That said, don't get too high over this news. Try to smile and move on.

 

Very true, wishing hurt doesn't make anyone feel better.

But when that hurt actually happens . . . it can certainly be satisfying.

 

Not to thread jack away from the Op, but it seems better to keep all of these things confined into one thread.

Just before Thanksgiving my girlfriend of six years broke up with me citing a need to move out to California to further her career following a visit to a male friend from college. This past week as we were moving out of our shared apartment I found out that she started dating this guy and plans to move in with him at the end of the month. She swears that she didn't cheat but the timetable seems to suggest otherwise.

Right now I'm trying to wrap my head around this new set of circumstances after having dealt with (what I thought was) the original cause of the rift. Both of us are 24 and I had planned to propose to her in the near future and I think she knew it.

I'm not sure if I should proceed from here with the attitude that "once she has a chance to date other people and see what's out there maybe she'll realize what she had and come back" or "screw the lying b*tch I hope she gets her just deserts". I just don't know.

 

Yeah, well, that's true.

 

You do know. She broke up with you, moved away, and she's with another guy.

Really sucks after 6 years, but at least she did it before you proposed or got married.

 

Yeah I know just not the way you expect to lose your best friend since 4th grade is all.

 

Focus on what YOU need to do to move on from wifeslut. Yes, satisfy your curiosity by finding out what happened between loverboy and his wife, but don't let it distract you from what you need to do in your life.

I would probably allow myself a brief moment of inward chortling and then move on from there.

 

Not, first find out if Loverboy and Ex have broken up.

Then, next time you, Ex and your lawyers meet, greet Ex, and ask in your most sincere voice how Loverboy is doing. Silently enjoy the look on her face.
