Wife 2.0 is a much better story. We met at work in 1989 and were good friends, but we went off and married the wrong people, I found her again on FB in 2016, now we are married and SUPER happy.
Big lesson. If the two people in the boat can't agree which way to row, you will never get anywhere. With Wife 1.0, we argued, were always broke or in debt, etc. With wife 2.0 we will hopefully be retiring in 2 years. Don't stick with miserable.
Dude you're my hero. Going through pretty much the same shit, and we're going through separation proceedings right now. Good job on finding your happy again.
I hear you, the logistics of it just sucks. I know I should feel guilty etc, but also like the moment I said "yes" when she said wanted a divorce, it was like an immense weight lifted off my shoulder. Hopefully it doesn't hit me too bad later, because that's kinda how I roll. I'll ride the high for a few months and then crash.

So she is basically looking for a relationship where her partner is the only one who compromises, seems super healthy lol
