Welcome! If you’ve found this site, you likely completed a very specific Google search as this site is not indexed or optimized for search engines. That is because this site exists for one specific reason and that is to warn other women about my ex-husband. To be completely honest, I had a place-holder up for quite a while and was content to let sleeping dogs lie but I recently received notice from someone that my ex was up to his usual tricks. He was stalking me on the socials and reaching out to people that I had interacted with to inform them that I am evil, he is a victim, and I took him to the cleaners in the divorce. While I would like nothing more than for him to find someone else and move on, I am a girl's girl and I would hate for someone else to go through what I did.

 

Before we were married, Matthew painted a picture of himself as a good man who came from difficult circumstances and a poverty-stricken childhood that he managed to overcome by working hard. He had been divorced twice and he said that every woman before me had cheated on him. I now know that was untrue as I am certain that at least one of those three (and perhaps all three) just wanted to get away from the abuse and did not cheat on him. I know that I never cheated on Matthew and even still, almost 6 months after the divorce was finally completed, I haven’t dated anyone. Truth be told, after what I experienced with Matthew, I will probably never date again and, if it was a choice, I would be gay.

 

Matthew likes to claim victimhood but the reality is that Matthew is a perpetrator, not a victim. He claims to have “lost everything” in the divorce. Nothing could be further from the truth. He left with more money in the bank than he had ever had before. He left with my Subaru Outback that I had purchased before we were married. I scratched a check for that car in 2021 and when he moved out of my house I allowed him to take the Subaru because he had sold his 2015 Honda Accord and otherwise wouldn’t have had a car to drive. Over the next several months, he refused to return my car while, at the same time, he was devaluing it by putting over 40,000 miles on it in 6 months. Ultimately, I elected to sign the title over to him as a way to completely wash my hands of him.

 

I married Matthew Kennedy on September 3, 2022 and retained a divorce attorney a mere 8 months later. Prior to getting married, Matthew sold his house and put the quarter million in proceeds in his account that I had no access to and, to my knowledge, he did not touch those funds during our marriage. As a matter of fact, Matthew rarely dipped into his own funds during our marriage. He used my credit cards when he paid for most anything and I paid off the balances with my separate funds. He did not pay electric bills, internet bills, property taxes, etc, I paid all of those. In May 2023, following an incident during which Matthew was abusive to me and my adult daughter who was visiting, I put a divorce attorney on retainer and began planning how I would get away from him. Getting away was no easy task because one of Matthew’s tactics is extreme control. He tracked my phone, my vehicles, and rarely let me go anywhere alone. He also hid Ring cameras in the house so he could watch me when he was away. Additionally, due to his abuse of my animals, I feared leaving him at home alone. Making it even more difficult to get away from him was the fact that he wasn’t going to work the entire time we were married. I worked from home and he spent his days monitoring my activity and calls with clients.

 

I was finally able to get to my attorney’s office to sign the complaint for divorce in January 2024. Matthew had returned to work in January 2024 and that was the first opportunity that I had to get to my attorney’s office. The steps I had to take in order to get to my attorney’s office were pretty extreme. First, I had to tell him that my phone was broken. Then, when he was on his way to work, I had to call him from my computer over VOIP to talk with him all the way to his work because that is what he demanded. Once he got to work, I went to the Verizon store and turned my phone off. After that, I went to my attorney’s office and signed the complaint to be filed with the court. Directly after that, I went to my realtor’s office and closed on the sale of my house. I found out later that Matthew called the Verizon store looking for me (like I was an errant child). I left my phone turned off when Matthew was home over the next few days and told Matthew that Verizon was shipping me a replacement which bought me a little more time to handle some things and to find a new home. Two days after I closed on the sale of my house, I found my new home several hundred miles away. Three days after that, I told Matthew that I would no longer allow him to touch me and he lost his mind! He decided that he was moving out that day and he thought he would be taking the truck that I had scratched a check for. I got in my truck and left, driving towards the county Sheriff’s office where I intended to inquire about when he would be served. As luck would have it, I passed a Deputy and pulled over to ask him about serving Matthew. While I was talking to the deputy, I heard Matthew’s name over the Deputy’s radio and mentioned it to the Deputy who hadn’t heard it. He radioed back to his dispatch to learn that Matthew had reported the truck stolen. I showed the Deputy the registration and he radioed in to dispatch that the truck had been located and was not stolen but being driven by the owner. Matthew had intended to have me pulled from my own truck at gunpoint because we all know that the police do not mess around with car theft.

 

Matthew did indeed move out, and I finally had some semblance of peace. Not real peace though because with someone like Matthew, you are left to wonder if he is hiding nearby, watching your every move, or waiting for an opportunity to take the ultimate revenge. I finally moved into my new home in April 2024 and then, I did finally relax. Matthew fought the divorce tooth and nail, dragging everything out to the deadline and then past the deadline. He told me that he wouldn’t agree to a divorce unless I slept with another man. He actually had the nerve to think that he could control my body! He had 4 different attorneys through the course of the divorce; some of whom he fired and some of whom fired Matthew as a client. He made demands for lifetime alimony. He made demands for more of my property. He made demands to visit with my pets. He made demands for lump sum payments. He hired a private investigator to follow me. The PI found out that I was BORING and the only visitor that I had that weekend was Matthew’s son and his girlfriend. Even after all of the above, in August 2025, he had the nerve to suggest that reconciliation was an option. NOT A CHANCE! We were finally divorced on October 21, 2025. While we did go to the final court date and I gave testimony, Matthew’s attorney requested that the Judge grant him some time to confer with his client about settling before he had to testify. Ultimately, I agreed to make a one-time payment to Matthew of $25,000. I did this for one primary reason – if we settled rather than letting it go to the Judge, Matthew couldn’t appeal and keep me tied up in court for all eternity. I did also have a few items of Matthew’s that I didn’t want to go through the hassle of returning so all-in-all, the settlement was for the best.

 

Hopefully, all of the above information will allow you to make a fully informed decision about getting (or staying) involved with him. If you elect to be with him, I wish you all the best. If you elect to get away from him, you dodged a bullet.
