filed for divorce after discovering wife's infidelity

My wife cheated on me during our marriage and I caught her. I told her I wanted closure, and she apologized and accepted responsibility. She agreed to make the divorce process easy and not contest any assets.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had known she was cheating sooner, so I could have ended things sooner and saved myself the emotional pain."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't stay in a relationship where your partner is cheating on you, it's not worth the pain and heartache."
