This is not our typical thing at Culturcidal, but every once in a while, there’s just a post on Reddit that’s too much fun not to share. This is one such post and after you read it, you’ll understand why. My wife abandoned me but now wants me back Last year my wife of 13yrs abruptly moved out of our apartment, she packed up everything she owned told me to expect a divorce and moved into her best friends house 3 hours away. she left me with the rent and bills to pay on my own with 10 months remaining on a lease and also left behind 2 of 3 cats. she eventually presented me with divorce papers i reluctantly signed and was unwavering in her decision. i cried and begged but she wouldn't budge. i was depressed, went through therapy took spravato treatments and developed body tremors from the severe anxiety. after some digging i learned she flew to NY to meet some guy she met on discord but to this denies it ever happened. after 10 months of misery i met a new girl, lots in common and she's smoking hot.. like omg she's so hot and she actually likes me.. I was so happy and out of my deep depression... just as things look up my ex wife shows back up at my apartment and tells me she made a mistake and wants me back. sobbing and panicking she tried to convince me she never really wanted a divorce but just space.. and she was only telling me she would never come back to distance me and she never meant it but always intended to come back home... i'm torn, for so long i wanted her back, i would have done anything for this chance months ago.. but i have fallen in love with someone else after accepting my fate.. should i accept that she has made a mistake and taker her back? or continue to try a new relationship with my new found love that may or may not continue to a possible future. should i go for the sure thing with my ex or risk being alone again if things width the new girl don't work out??? please help
Based only on what was described, assuming it is fairly accurate, he should take a very long wait and see period, both for his new relationship and what the ex does when he doesn't immediately accept her back. I expect it won't be long before he's alone again, abandoned by the new hottie and the ex has moved on. He sounds a little like he sells himself short, willing to accept any woman who shows an interest regardless of her history or character. I hope he hits the jackpot with the new lady, though.
Taking marriage vows seriously is a thing of the past and pretty much has been since the 60's when birth control came into wide use, and worsened with 2nd wave feminism. The statistics indicate that most divorces are initiated by women. Men don't have it fair or easy.
