Today, after 25 years of marriage and 2 children, I was served with divorce papers. It turns out my 51 year old, soon to be ex, has been having an affair with the 24 year old tutor I hired to help our daughter bring her grades up. They are in love and want to start a new family together as soon as possible. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, after 25 years of marriage, my parents decided to get a very nasty and extremely expensive divorce. Using my college tuition to pay for it. FML
Today, my husband sat me down to tell me he’s filing for divorce as he’s fallen out of love with me and loves my 19 year-old daughter (his step-daughter). Furthermore, I’m off the lease when it expires next month so they can live together. We have a 2 month-old son. He replied, “OK, and? I’ll pay child support.” FML
Today, my wife and I were going through a very amicable 50/50 divorce, until she found out I’m already dating. She’s only two years younger than my wife, but it upset her enough she’s now stalling the divorce until she gets 75/25 in her favour, including the holiday cottage. FML
Today, it's my daughter’s 18th birthday. Today is also the day that my husband told me he’s leaving me for her, and he wants a divorce. When I threatened to press charges for potentially grooming her as a minor, he told me I don’t have a leg to stand on because, “She’s been at the age of consent anyway.” FML
Today, my daughter got engaged. Her fiancé is not only 25 years older than her, but was her teacher in middle school. FML
Today, my 54 year-old partner is leaving me for his 26 year-old coworker. She’s younger than our two kids, 32 and 29. He seriously sees nothing wrong because she’s “a consenting adult.” FML
Today, it's been a few years since after I married my soulmate, and two years since he found he had a daughter with his ex. The last two years have been spent in custody court. Our savings are drained by support payments, and our own pregnancy plans are on indefinite hold. I can’t take much more. I want a divorce. FML
Today, I woke up realizing my wife of less than a year of marriage wants a divorce. We have known each other for 15 years. FML
Today, my husband is threatening divorce because I loudly objected at his daughter's wedding and made a scene. His daughter is 19 and got married to a 40-year-old man. FML
Today, my husband of 3 years, who I have a 1 year old daughter with, told me he wants a divorce, but who knows, maybe in the future we can "date." FML

The jokes on him if he thinks he can raise a child at the age of 51. He's obviously following his little head. And his girl friend is going to find out it won't be much fun when he loses half of all his money with the divorce.

I'm sorry, that really sucks. On the bright side, she'll leave him in a few years when she realizes how much the age gap sucks and he'll be alone. when he comes back begging for forgivness, don't be afraid to be a whole lot of vindictive and slam the door in his face. be sure to get a great lawyer and take all you can. Infidelity is the only time I say take the spouse for everything they got.

In before anyone suggest a threesome. Personally, I think that's much more impressive than f1rst p0st. Cheating is always wrong and never excusable, but I always wonder what, if anything, the other spouse was doing to preserve the marriage. Surely this 50-year-old guy didn't decide he wants to deal with that age gap because everything is perfect at home.

...you make a lot of sense oh faithful one.

cheating is cheating. if he wasn't happy in the marriage he should have told her and tried to fix it or filed for divorce. cheating is never excused because they're " unhappy" in the relationship. that's a cop out and immature reaction to real issues in a marriage. it also suggests that he didn't have the balls to confront her on the issues. no one gets a free pass just because the marriage is rocky and no one CAUSES someone to cheat. the cheater decided to break their marriage vows all on their own.

It doesn't matter what was happening at home, since the soon-to-be-ex chose to have an affair instead of trying to repair or improve the marriage. It's also possible that the marriage was fine, and he will screw whatever happens to be around. Don't forget that the tutor must have known that he was married, but didn't care. They deserve each other, and will eventually cheat on each other, anyway.

Maybe you missed the part where I said unequivocally that cheating is always wrong and never excusable? But everything - EVERYTHING - in a marriage involves both people. Just because she got cheated on doesn't make her a perfect wife by default. but yes, obviously the husband is a scumbag.

WIN for bomber! (: So true... And like he is getting a divorce duh! it's not like he stayed with her for a long time... hence, he wants a divorce soon enough to start a family. I'm sure the dude has his reasons why he's leaving the lady.

I agree with bomber cheating is never ok! I don't understand why cheaters can't just say "hey I'm not happy, I want out". It would be better to be hurt by the truth than hurt by a lie.

well her husband probably had old wrinkly balls and she dealt with it. I highly doubt there is ball sack lifts so the asshole is screwed lol. we'll see how long that 24 year old broad can deal with a saggy sack before she finds a fresh one.

Don't worry, OP. When your soon-to-be ex is an old hag (which isn't far off), the tutor will dump him for someone younger.
