Help! I Willfully Blew Up My Marriage. Now I'm Seething That My Ex-Wife Is Living Her Best Life.
Briefly

I dread it. Not because she's mean or rude... she is warm and generous and funny. I recognize that she hasn't really changed; these traits were always there, but they were buried under my resentment over the sex thing, the nagging, the financial stress, etc.
On top of that, her career took off almost as soon as we separated, but not soon enough for me to ask for alimony. She's earning more by herself (thanks GlassDoor) than our combined household income when we were together. Her live-in boyfriend... is a well-known writer and together they travel to exotic places, eat at fancy restaurants, and have a crowd of well-known writer friends.
