“Was in a horrible marriage with a man who abused both me and our child. I met another man who made me realize my child and I deserved better. Left my abusive husband for him and we are currently married with 4 children. Not proud of how I handled the whole thing, but when beaten down and feeling lik…”— weedle_weedle, reddit.com
“I was married for a couple of years when I left my wife. The relationship I had with my wife was that of a friendship. There was no chemistry and no sex. The woman that I left her for had her own complications. So how did this work out? I will answer that in two ways. First, it sped up a divorce tha…”— Dontjudgemeforever, reddit.com
“I was married to my wife for 21 years and had two wonderful daughters. I was seriously unhappy for the last 11 or 12 years of the marriage and she never saw it, everyone else did but not her.

“The other person and I are married and couldn't be happier. We both came from unhealthy/dead marriages.

“Backstory: My ex and I were best friends for 12 years, dated for 8. We weren't married because it was illegal at the time (gayyyyyy). Near the end of our relationship I did actually ask her to marry me because it was becoming legal in some states. Her response was to write me a letter, telling me sh…”— AskMe_If_ICare, reddit.com
“I got married young at 19, to someone I had been with for a year but friends with throughout school. The marriage was not the best thought out idea (we were both quite immature teenagers who absolutely believed we were the most mature two people on the planet. Hindsight.) though we got along really…”— mtwtfssrepeat, reddit.com
“Met my wife online, married 14 years. She left me because marriage was getting stale as well. Left me, my son and daughter (her biological children, my stepchildren).

“I left an abusive lazy fiance (I was 21 then) for a man who was 59. I saw he had something of interest to me for sale online. I rode my motorbike 120kms to pick up the item one night.

“I was in a bad marriage, wasn't abusive; but toxic and controlling. We didn't agree a lot on things, no similar hobbies, I couldn't spend time with family or friends without him getting jealous. Not to justify what I did, but our marriage was dead. I met someone online through a gaming forum and we…”— Inmysguin, reddit.com
“Marriage was stale, living parallel lives, blah blah blah. Ran into "the one that got away" on FB. Chatting led to flirting led to a tryst in a city between us. It was meant to be a once-and-done, to get it out of our system. What we didn't plan on was falling in love. Knowing I'd want to see her ag…”— Scrappy_Larue, reddit.com
“I left my wife for someone who I felt was my best friend. We tried living together and it was a complete disaster. All I did was compare her to my wife, in retrospect I regret all of it. The emotional toll is something you cannot fully express. A bad situation like that never has any chance of worki…”— ELMachoMetro, reddit.com

“When you go out of your way to make someone jealous, whether it snapping your whole life after a breakup, using insta to show you're out with someone or texting them useless shit just to see if they answer, what you are really doing is further confirming their decision to have ended it.
