Just that really.
Tell me how your life got better once you were over the shit storm of divorce and being left for someone else!
Bonus points for comedy or if the Ex suffered from regret….

Not me but my very unpleasant ex boss.

He left his wife and two small children for a stunning Scandinavian woman (affair) married her, had another pair of children very smug and unbarable about the whole thing.

A couple of years later boss starts being very quiet, slinking round the office, not speaking for months! Turned out the second wife had run off with a stunning Scandinavian man with more money leaving him with two small children. He has also transfered a big chunk of his company to the wife for tax reasons and he had been too ashamed to tell his fellow dirextor for ages that they would need to buy her out. Glorious!!

Both exwives now doing very well, remarried and happy as far as I can see.

He had to step up and take his 2 children at weekends. Cramped his style somewhat. Also turned out she was bone lazy and wouldn't work.

Oh another one. My mil had an affair. Her ex remarried a younger woman and they are still together 30 years later with three children and a total of 11 grandchildren. Mil had a relationship with af before he treated her very badly and cheated. Said such horrible things to her. She never recovered really. Lives alone, barely sees anyone even her two children as she's so miserable still trying to chase the man to get back together.

He left me for an alcoholic their behaviour destroyed his relationship with our DD. Unfortunately the OW was so far down the alcoholism route that she passed away 9 years later.
DD and I built a fabulous close, open relationship, 5 years later I met a wonderful man who I married 4 years later, we bought a beautiful home in a fabulous location. Myself, DH and DE are all very close.

The despair also drove me to build my business and I sold it for a larger sum of money.
DH was a widower who had thrown himself into his career in his despair and has risen to the pinnacle of his profession.

My friend's husband met a beautiful Russian woman (23 years old). Dumped wife (46) and immediately married Russian woman.
A year on, Russian woman left him for her (female) personal trainer!
