I mean, if anything, Miguel owes this guy a drink. The OP exposed his wife for what she is. She had lost interest in him (viewing him only as a friend) and was willing to cheat behind his back. Better to know now rather than years later. But nah, instead I'm sure he despises the OP and would have rather just lived happily ever after with his princess in pretend fantasy land.
This would be 100% truth and fine with me, if they were just dating, the problem is that they were in a marriage. The chick made a vow that for better or worse, she would stick with Miguel. The vows didn't include a line that said, "For better or worse, or until I'm no longer
feeling my husband anymore".
It's exactly why the entire institution of marriage today makes no sense, because with the No Fault marriage amendment, it's basically just a much more sophisticated (and expensive) form of dating.
You can STILL
leave at anytime you want and for whatever reason (such as just not
feeling it anymore), but the only difference here is that there's going to be a gang of legal costs, a long drawn out legal process, fights over child custody, the possibility of being financially bankrupt, along with the possibility of the wife getting shot when her ex-husband gets fed up with the bullshyt and goes on the deep end.
I mean the entire thing makes no sense, yet society still promotes marriage and some men still defend this inefficient contract.
Women no longer have to be loyal to you, thus ANY legal agreement (marriage or making kids or co-habitation) that you enter with them today based on their present day "good behavior", can turn into pure hell tomorrow when she has totally flipped and is now displaying complete and utter horrible behavior.
The only solution to this is to STOP entering into legal agreements (marriage, making kids or co-habitation) with women. That's the only solution, any other way, you are going to be a VICTIM if your woman ever
flips on you for whatever reason.
