    My wife cheated on me. That was lucky because, when her family found out, she was humiliated, and didn’t demand that I sell the house to give her half, she just walked away. Had she not cheated, and just divorced me, I likely would have been forced to sell the house at the bottom of the market. We would have each gotten less than $10,000.

    Now, the mortgage is nearly paid off, and the house is worth three times what it was when we divorced.

      Nice! I’m a guy who also kept the house. It’s a small Habitat for Humanity place, but its got a big yard and I’m on the edge of town.

      Ex is living in rent-to-own shack in bumfuck Arkansas with the kids. Literally a one stoplight town. At least the kids get to live here 1/4 of the year.
