When an Affair Ends a Marriage — and You Still Become Friends with Your Ex

Support, tools & coaching for stepmums: https://stepmumspace.com

Our second male guest on Stepmum Space is Tom Nash, known online as @mrdivorcecoachuk — and his story is truly one of a kind.

Tom shares his journey from marriage, to an affair, to separation, to building a new relationship and ultimately creating a functional, respectful, genuinely friendly blended family with his ex-wife and her new partner… who also happens to be his current partner’s ex.
(Yes — you may need a pen and paper to map this one out!)

In this refreshingly honest conversation, Tom talks openly about:

• navigating separation after infidelity
• co-parenting when emotions are raw
• building trust again — with yourself and others
• blending families in a way that actually works long-term
• why he’s such a strong advocate for dads showing up as equal parents, not just the “fun ones”
• what helps couples communicate better during separation and recoupling
• how to move from conflict to collaboration with an ex

Tom brings both his personal story and his professional insight as a divorce coach to this conversation, offering practical, grounded advice for anyone navigating blended family life — from stepmums to dads to co-parents.

A fascinating, honest, surprisingly uplifting conversation about accountability, repair, and what’s possible when adults put the children first.
