Yes, my ex left me 3 years ago after 20 years for a younger woman. Our marriage was actually pretty good but she was a co-worker who targeted him and he was weak. They lasted about 18 months together until he realized what he had given up. Great kids, a nice home, a pretty good wife, friends etc. Fortunately my kids were old enough at the time (18,16) to accept that I didn't want to get back together after what he had put us through. We're all on good terms and I recently began dating a very nice guy.

Yes, my sister's ex. She was much younger than him, he had been married for 30 years to the same woman and had several adult children by this time. He kept bouncing back and forth between my sister and his wife playing the tortured man who just couldn't choose between the women he loved and, for some reason I will never understand, they both desperately wanted this douche canoe. Eventually my sister came out of her fog of batsh*t crazy behavior, realized the whole situation was totally f*cked and left him for good. He then went crawling back to his wife and she told him to drop dead.
Both women have moved on and he's miserable.

If cheating was involved It rarely turns out well. The kids have anger... the ex and a long bitter divorce usually follows.
I know two couples where the wife was cheating with the other's husband. Long story, but they all divorced. The only one that did well was the wife that was cheated on by her husband. She got the kids, house, and he pays a lot of child support. The rest of them all live in rental homes, are struggling financially. The OW got married briefly to another man, but that recently ended in divorce. She a total loon though.

We sexted intensely. My wife suspected something was up, and hacked into my iPad. She read the conversations.... things got ugly. As this discussion went further, I slowly realized this relationship is not going anywhere. She had become an evangelical Christian since HS whereas I am secular/atheist.
We broke off the conversations texted from 2012 to 2013. It took until 2014 until things settled down at home. I apologized, while making it clear that there was never an in-person relationship. I do not know if she believes me or not.
How is your marriage now?

Our neighbor wasn't married but he had 2 kids with his long time girlfriend. They lived in a house that was in his name for years. He cheated on her then threw them all out of the house. He moved the AP in a month later. It was probably 2-3 years after that he had a heart attack and died. His older son turned 19 whereby he went to court and had all the assets put in his name and his brother. They kicked AP out of the home. The mother and kids all moved back into the house. The mother also got AP's car and drove it because it was in dead cheaters name. Great ending and good neighbors.

That's too funny. Pretty bad when your own family thinks you're scum.

My friend's husband left the marriage to be with 23 year old co-worker ( he is 46). He is doing fine. We don't know if he is going to stay with his current gf, but he has no plans to reconnect with his soon to be ex wife. They have nice cordial relationship, no drama. She let him go and has good relationship with his gf as well. My friend ( wife) is pretty, skinny, natural blonde and accomplished. I hope she can find someone soon.

yes, I know a man who left his wife of 20 years, and his teenage kids, to move to another state to be with an old girlfriend. Eventually it became clear that the old girlfriend was not all that, was not even sure about remarrying or even living with this guy who imploded his life--job, marriage, kids, etc--to be with her. He developed a chronic condition, which gf decided she didn't want to deal with. Original wife was done, kids went off to college and she got remarried while her ex now struggles with health, finances, is alone and has a strained relationship with kids.
its all very sad.

I know someone who did this. "Steve" was deep in the throes of a midlife crisis in his mid-40s. Cheated on his beloved wife/high school sweetheart with a ditsy 20 something (stereotypical beach blonde bikini body goldigger). He left his wife and kids (middle schoolers) and shacked up with the 20 something for years (maybe 5 or so?). His kids went off the rails (think: drugs, sex, etc.). After a while, he realized he missed his real family. Took a few years, but the first wife eventually took him back. Now they're in their mid/late 60s and the bizarre thing is that they act like nothing ever happened. Every now and then someone will say, "Hey, you guys remember "Larla"? Wonder what she's doing now?"
Sadly, the kids really never recovered from their selfish father's midlife crisis. It definitely impacted their mental health and ability to have healthy relationships.

This was not physical -- only cyber.
Reconnected electronically with a HS GF; in HS, we went to third base, but no farther.
She was going through an ugly divorce, I was very unhappy in my marriage and life in general. She lived a several hundred miles from me. She did not have the money to travel, and I did not have the excuse to travel.
We sexted intensely. My wife suspected something was up, and hacked into my iPad. She read the conversations.... things got ugly. As this discussion went further, I slowly realized this relationship is not going anywhere. She had become an evangelical Christian since HS whereas I am secular/atheist.

Anyone have any stories of a spouse who goes through a mid-life crisis, leaves his wife for a shot at happiness with another woman, then realizes he made a huge mistake? I'm never going to take my soon to be ex back, but I'd like think that his selfish decision to leave not only tthe marriagr but his home and child implodes.
