Hey, something similar actually happened to a cousin of mine. Average looks, just over six feet tall. Brilliant guy, works with kids and loves helping people.
They were high school sweethearts, and the way they met was legitimately like something out of a rom-com. Real "love at first sight" kinda thing. Married young. During college, I think. So early twenties, maybe nineteen at the youngest.
A few years into the marriage, she had a breakdown. Apparently, she regretted not partying and riding the cock carousel like all her friends. So she left him and started partying every night and getting ran through. After about a year, they ran into each other again, and she broke down crying and saying she regretted throwing away real love for meaningless sex with Chad.
To his credit, he refused to take her back. She still texts him occasionally, and he replies, but he keeps her at arm's length. I don't think he even dates, anymore. It destroyed him for a good long while.
