They are on their honeymoon 🥳. It took him awhile but he’s now onto a much better life.
We spoke the other day and he now realizes he’s got a much better future than he could have ever had with his X. It did take a lot of time/effort but it’s paying off.

Did your friend's ex-wife ever show any contrition or did she ever apologize to him at all?
No, later on she kept bugging to get together for the kids, etc. A lot of blame shifting which is typical. He learned to ignore pretty early. No social media, etc. So there’s not a lot of distraction or interference on his end. His willpower on eliminating unnecessary contact is great from what I’ve seen.

Old dogs don't learn new tricks without a lot of effort and desire.
 
Update

So no one’s kept hanging. They are expecting their first child (girl) in August. His alimony ends in October. It seems like his X has finally accepted her place. She’s no longer trying to matter.
Is the Ex happy with her life choice and "Soul Mate". How are the kids doing? Which parent do they feel more secured with?

Appreciate the update. This was a great tutorial for what to do with infidelity like this.

Not particularly but it seems like she has to make it work. He never married her and he has 4 kids!
We joke about her being an unpaid bus driving babysitter 😢😂.
His two kids are doing well. They are always doing something together. They definitely like being with him but they love their mom. A good thing. You wan them to be happy. 50/50 has one benefit it gives you a break.

Yes, although like most he was in shock upfront but unlike a lot he listened to advise and once he got it he became hardcore eliminating contact. Wonder where he got that from😎
There is life on the other side.
 
Just my opinion but the one thing I learned mainly from business is a decision is better than no decision.
Doing nothing or waiting around is not a decision. You can always alter or change course if issues warrant it.
The only one that can make you a chump or keep you in limbo is yourself.
He should have set fire to the marital bed!

We were speaking the other day. His divorce was the best thing that’s happened to him. It propelled him into a much better life than he could have ever had with his X.
