To put a long story short:
Friend unhappy with marriage. Instead of telling anyone he starts to frequent dating sites. Meets girls on there - falls in love.
She lives in Georgia. He in Minnesota. She is ...17 and he is 29. He confessed all this to wife over the weekend and was planning on using a Dr. Who convention in May? As a cover to go meet up with her.
This is the same guy who berates people and calls them stupid for their actions or purchases. He gave me so much shit when I bought my truck and wouldn't talk to me for like a week. He just won a gold medal by his own standard.
My gf is best friends with his wife we use to do couples stuff all the time. Not anymore.
Man I just keep losing friends because I don't think I'll be able to stand the sight of him for very long. I give him kudos for coming clean but seriously
What a fucking cunt.

It would be a very different story if he told his wife he didn't want to be married anymore and started that process, then maybe started looking before papers were signed/processed.
But going and finding women on dating sites and making sure you have a backup/safe bet to fall back on after the marriage is done is a shifty, greasy way to go about it.
I am willing to bet good money that he shacks up with this 17 year old for a bit then realises that 17 year old girls tend to be shitheads, especially if he found her on a dating site. Finding a 17 year old "true love" on a dating site should have been the biggest red flag for anyone with half a brain, but I'm not getting a smart man vibe from this fella.
It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

Yeah but 17 is still like 4 years shy of my lowest limit so that doesn't really help.

People change and that's a known fact. There's plenty of divorce out there but not all of it is ugly, nor has to be. It's just the principle of the matter... you think you know someone then one day they sit you down on a couch and it's "I'm seeing someone else. I want a divorce."
And all you can probably think is...
I'm sorry, did I burn your toast too much?
Did I not fold your laundry neatly enough?
Do I not do everything in the bedroom you asked?
Have I not taken care of you when you're sick?
Have I not treated your entire family like they ARE my own?
Have I not given seven years of my life for you?
Where do you get off treating me this way? Like who the fuck do you think you are?
Things like this can attack a persons self-worth. It's damaging. That's why we all need friends to stand by us. Virtual or not. Lucky for her she has a few. Him, well, not so much anymore.

Even being cheated on by a short term girlfriend can be crippling for a persons self esteem. I see so many people rationalize it and defend doing it too, it's disturbing.

I may be bitter
Being bitter doesn't make you wrong.

If a friend of mine was dating a 17 year old I'd duff them up around the ears. I don't care if it's legal here, a 17 year old is still basically a kid. If you're a fucking loser who can't get with people your own age and chase children, I got no time or respect for you.
I probably wouldn't be that harsh immediately based on age alone 100% of the time.
If you are in your 20's somewhere and happen to click with some 17 year old who isn't a complete shithead then so be it.
People can make their own choices and lead their own lives.
Nine times out of ten it is definitely not a good idea, but there are always exceptions to the rule.
When my sister was 17 she was more mature and had a way more solid life plan than I do even now.
It really is a circumstantial thing that changes depending on the people.
I know thirty somethings who have no business being in relationships with anyone ever.
