How can a mother be @fine@ when her children have been devastated?

Mom wanted to keep everything civil and dad tried to take advantage of this by offering her a settlement that was a joke. Long story short my brother got mom a new lawyer and got mom a huge settlement and she is set for life.

We have never met the OW and she is banned from all family functions. That has caused huge problems in their relationship but that is not our problem.

Set for life off of someone else's labor. No wonder he divorced her.

Dad is that you?

Right? What an ass. After 35 yrs. of marriage, this woman has definitely earned that money (and likely more for putting up with shit for many years).

Super common, mainly caused by the stereotypical-but-true disparity in sex drives between men and women (especially older wives)

That is sad, for you and siblings, but not so much for your mom. Good riddance. I hope she is enjoying herself.

Yes she is doing quite well. She did quite a bit of traveling which was slowed down by covid. She is back in college too and is seems to have a new lease on life.

Good for your mom that she got a new lawyer and didn't let your dad take advantage of her (it's easy to do after so many years of marriage), and also glad that she's living her good life (going to college etc.). Of course, the fact that you support her throughout this helps her as well. BTW, I wouldn't want to see the OW at all either.

Men should begin to marry women then refuse to work for 35 years, then divorce their wives and take all their earnings. That will be justice.

yes. that thinking goes both ways. If you were together for 35 years, you've earned the money. What's your point?

My BIL did it, but his wife was cheating... had a revenge affair, she got pregnant ... he moved in with her. She was a complete lunatic. He moved into a friends basement paying alimony/child support to 2 women. Both his kids from marriage #1 hate both their mom and dad fir about 3 years.

Fortunately, the “young one” died of cancer so now he is a single dad to a 4 year old and dating a nice person his age and the kids talk to him again.

Most men seeking midlife excitement look towards younger women to fill this role. You can be bitter all you want but this will not change the fact men want younger women as they age.

And those younger women will get old too.

I saw Paul Hogan last night on tv (crocodile dundee). Left is wife and kids of many years for his nasty co-star. His wife at the time told the gold digger he's old now and just likes to sit around and watch tv. Good luck...lol. Well she dumped him and took a lot of money. He rarely sees his 5 kids because of their poor feelings toward him. He's not doing well financially either, looked pretty sad and alone these days.

Another thread where everyone spews vitriol at the OW while the cheating husband escapes unscathed. How original.

He has been pretty generous and they stayed in the house, so they have felt no change financially (he's well off even by DCUM standards).

He travels a lot with the gf. He gave her a big fancy ring a few years ago but I don't think they have any plans to get married. He traveled a lot before the affair too (that's how he met the gf).

so I guess no one besides wife/kids cared? Sort of interesting.

There were no real consequences for him socially or otherwise, if that's what you're asking. People talked, people disapproved of course, felt badly for his wife. But he wasn't ostracized or anything.

I mean, they're both scummy. But it's much easier to be angry at a stranger than it is at your long-term spouse, no? Human nature.

True. But it still reflects poorly on ex-wife if you can’t move on and come on anonymous boards and call strangers a ho and whore for ??? Unhinged

No, my long term spouse would be dead to me. If I stayed married it would only be for finances and the kids. I agree both cheaters are pos, and I would asked myself how I picked such a loser. Something I missed, or failed to follow up on.

Why? When you date married people or cheat you put yourself into that category. And deserve the terms for that behavior. Not that pp, but you're wrong in attacking the person appropriately labeling one of the cheaters.
