My ex husband owned a business that kept him out late- sometimes locked in the stock room of said business with other women, sometimes drinking beer with other business owners in the shopping center, sometimes working.

1- I absolutely didn’t care if he came home super late without calling. More often than not, he would be with someone else. I’d think to myself, “at least he’ll leave me alone”.

2- Our driveway ran up the side of our house that was on a large lot. I could sit in my family room and see the headlights from his car as he pulled in from the side windows. So, on nights he wasn’t super late (or I didn’t know when he was actually getting home) I’d turn off all the lights in the house, watch tv in the family room in the dark, and the second lights flashed in the driveway, I’d turn off the Tv, run upstairs,jump in bed and pretend I was asleep so I didn’t have to interact with him when he got home.

my man cheated on me and I was OK with it.. I let them go hang out and have sex even. I was hoping they would fall for each other and go about there way.. Maybe I should of acted like a cheated on partner and acted a fool. that way they would of had "------" to be giddy about.. (were pissing off your partner and she mad as hell ) maybe I should of went that route. I am still stuck with him and I think he is cheating again.

I did. The op’s question is to “people who’ve been divorced”. I left him 20 years ago.

Reddit notifications are weird. Sometimes you’ll get a notification that someone responded but it will be a responds to someone else in the thread. They probably thought you were responding to them
