How do I get past the anger of all of this?

My husband of 8 years, came home in February and said he had been sleeping with another woman, it was nothing serious, he left our home that we had built together, we were a blended family, 5 children between us, there’s ages now are 18 - 23.

In April, he told me that he was in love with another woman, not the “friend”. The other woman was his best friends wife that had died in June 2020. Then found out the “friend” was a full-blown 3 year affair.
This all came out of nowhere, he was the most attentive, supportive, loving husband with a whole other life outside of our home and family.
We had it all, the home, the kids, cars and trucks, a camper and boat, vacations, I thought life was pretty good, felt beyond blessed.
He filed for divorce in June 2021, divorce was final in September. I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around all of this. I am beyond angry with him!!
I am due to get a settlement in February and he has told me the right thing to do is pay off his debt that he took with the divorce.
He’s in a relationship with the dead best friends wife and I can’t understand his thought process.
He cheated, broke up our family, and wants me to pay his debt…

“His debt that he took in the divorce.” That’s all you need to remember when it comes to your settlement you’re receiving AFTER the divorce was finalized. Don’t let him or anyone bully you into paying off his debt. Affair or no affair. He took the debt and the divorce is final before settlement is received, so as long as there’s nothing in the divorce papers take a vacation with that money and relax. You deserve it.

Was the debt incurred to your benefit? (Meaning, do you have any of the proceeds of said debt?) I understand the anger behind all of this situation, but I also will NEVER have someone say “well, you wouldn’t have that without me.” So personally, I would pay half of any dent that I directly benefited from. So that I can have a clear mind about it. But that is just me.

He got himself into that debt!

Ain’t no damn way I would pay anything for his sorry self his dead best friend’s wife can pay that. I would sue both of them. He wouldn’t have gotten off as easy as he did apparently

He made his choice. Your kids are grown. Don’t give him any more of your energy or anything else. He’s in the wrong so let him take care of his own stuff.

Don’t pay anything for him. Don’t even
purchase a dictionary for him so he can see his own picture beside the words AH, dick, cheater, liar, or cad. Let him work his own way out of the gutter he’s put himself in.

Don’t pay his debt especially not since he caused the debt and divorce to begin with. Also I’d cut off contact the kids are old enough for you to still have a relationship without him. Get in therapy if you need to, it does help and rebuild your life. Your worthy, beautiful, and you didn’t deserve what you got but your a queen who will rise above

Was it ordered by a judge that you have to pay for his debt if not then break all contact with him. The kids are old enough to communicate with him if they chose to do unless there’s a emergency involving one of the children you don’t have to speak to him at all. You need to get into therapy to help you thru this. Do not blame yourself either that’s what these type of men want they want you to blame yourself in the end. You’ll never understand his thoughts process either: that money u get in February is yours n yours only since your divorce was finalized in September so he doesn’t have any right to the money
