FindingHappiness
Is There Light at the End of the Tunnel? I’ll Tell You. Me 57M, Ex 57F.
The messages are still coming, so here is what my and my ex-wife’s life is like now.
Life after "33 years married, D day 3 days ago."
Wife cheated with a couple, sister-in-law found out and forced her to confess. Ex-wife was devastated at the consequences of her choice. Now divorced.
Seems wrong to sum up what she did in one sentence.
Anyway, life is great 🙂 Divorce went through easy enough 12 months ago. My relationship with my kids and grandkids is fantastic; I get to see them regularly when I am not traveling.
Life After Divorce: A Fresh Start at 57
If you’re wondering, "Is there light at the end of the tunnel?" I’m here to tell you, as a 57-year-old man who went through it, the answer is absolutely yes. Transitioning from a 33-year marriage to navigating single life again might seem daunting, but the possibilities are abundant.
Overcoming Heartache and Gaining Happiness
Post-divorce life can be surprisingly rewarding. Here’s how I did it:
- Family Bonds: Strengthened my relationship with my kids and grandkids.
- Travel: Took some time away for myself to explore and heal.
- New Relationships: Experienced both short-term fun and now a serious, fulfilling relationship.
Coping with Trust Issues in New Relationships
👉🏻 It’s natural to have trust issues post-divorce, especially after betrayal. Here’s how I manage mine:
- Open communication with my partner.
- Setting boundaries and ensuring mutual respect.
- Seeking therapy or support groups.
The Downfall and Toxicity of My Ex-wife
Unfortunately, my ex-wife hasn’t found the same peace. Her choices continue to affect her negatively:
- Continual pursuit despite the finality of our divorce.
- Toxic behavior, driving wedges in her relationships, especially with our son.
- Poor choices in partners, leading to her own unhappiness.
A Message to Those Going Through the Same
If you’re dealing with betrayal and heartbreak caused by a spouse, know this:
- Stay Strong: Lean on your loved ones and support networks.
- Be True to Yourself: Never settle for less than you deserve.
- Embrace Change: Although painful, change can lead to incredible new beginnings.
Is There Light at the End of Your Tunnel?
Absolutely! Your journey might be filled with ups and downs, but emerging stronger and happier is possible. Focus on self-growth, cherish your support system, and know that a fulfilling life awaits beyond the heartbreak.
Much Love to Everyone Going Through This Journey
Always remember, you deserve better and there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel. Keep pushing forward and embrace the new opportunities life offers.

I am turning 60 this year, this gives me hope.
I remember reading your story previously. OP, I’m glad to hear that you are going a lot better. I know you sold your business, and I hope that you put a clause in the contract that stated the new owners could not do business with the other cheating couple, so that they got screwed over
