Got married to a woman I didn't love but thought would be a great option. Stable, smart, good job, funny, etc.

After 8 years, completely unsatisfied, started to be drawn to other women. We had a child, I thought it would fix that. It made it worse, she was/is a terrible mother and it drove us further apart.

I cheated on her and while I think it was a very, very scummy move, I don't regret it. It showed me what I was missing in this life.

Divorced, in financial ruin. Live paycheck to paycheck, often with only $5 left to my name when my next check gets deposited.

It was worth it. Believe it or not, I'm much happier. I've met the girl of my dreams, the one who is truly perfect for me.
