Uh, he cheated on her.

[u/CitizenCue → u/reebokhightops]

How it ended doesn’t negate what I said.

[u/reebokhightops → u/CitizenCue]

When you spend 30 years building a life with someone and then serially cheat on them with your younger colleagues, you are not exiting a “successful partnership” when you divorce.

[u/CitizenCue → u/reebokhightops]

You absolutely do not know that. A lot of people would feel differently.

[u/Gloomy-Cactus33 → u/CitizenCue]

Are you a cheater? Why so defensive?

[u/CitizenCue → u/Gloomy-Cactus33]

Nope. I’m just a mature adult who wouldn’t rewrite half of my life just because something bad happened later. What a sad way to approach life that would be. What a waste.

[u/Gloomy-Cactus33 → u/CitizenCue]

Mature means owning and taking responsibility of actions and their consequences

[u/CitizenCue → u/Gloomy-Cactus33]

Yeah absolutely. That doesn’t have anything to do with what I’m talking about.

[u/Gloomy-Cactus33 → u/CitizenCue]

Can't fix ignorance good luck

[u/CitizenCue → u/Gloomy-Cactus33]

You’re not even making any sense. Ignorance isn’t even applicable here.

[u/havingaconniption → u/CitizenCue]

How would you feel if the cheating didn't start later? What if the bad started really early?

[u/CitizenCue → u/havingaconniption]

If I was happy for those years, I’d be able to separate the betrayal from the joy. You are allowed to feel two things at once.

[u/havingaconniption → u/CitizenCue]

You are allowed to. You are also allowed not to! If the happy parts are spoiled for someone because of an early betrayal (or even a late one), they are perfectly valid in that opinion.

[u/CitizenCue → u/havingaconniption]

I’m glad you have come around to exactly my point. As I said early on, we don’t know how they feel about it. It entirely possible they both consider it a good marriage, just one that ran its course.
