| 1 | Young men who have divorced w/o kidsYour heartbreak is not valid because you're a man. Ridiculous, right? | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/03/23 07:43 AM |
| 1 | The way I vet women after divorce is kind of coldHow to interpret a woman who says her father is an amazing dad, and she loves him for that, but a shitty, abuser husband (to her mother)? | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/03/23 06:44 AM |
| 1 | Found out she has another relationshipNah, bro, that was a joke, I'm not actually looking to date dudes and we're a whole continent apart - I live in Brazil. But I sincerely wish you the best of luck, be it with girls, dudes or all by yourself 🙏 | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/03/23 09:39 PM |
| 1 | Found out she has another relationshipI think I'm going to date dudes going forward. What's your location? Wanna go for a coffee? 🤣 | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/03/23 08:16 PM |
| 1 | Not yet ex-wife wanted a homeless man who is 14 years older than both of us (28m) (28f) to move inAm I allowed to laught at this story? Craziest shit I've read in a long, long time... and this comes from someone who works at the criminal DA's office 🤯 | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/03/23 01:39 AM |
| 1 | Life isn't the sameand if they’re not close friends they’ll likely become energy vampires that prolong your grieving process. Would you kindly care to elaborate this? I've been noticing this as I'm being atipically openly talking about everything, and I've never been like this before. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/03/23 11:09 PM |
| 1 | Life isn't the sameSorry hijacking your comment, but, OP, I second this. All I've made trying to date while not ready was blundering and being all over the place. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/03/23 11:05 PM |
| 1 | Help? Wife seeking men’s perspective on what you think I should do…No. If what she says is true, his conduct turns him into it, regardless of the observer. I would despise any woman that acted like him, why should I side with him? No double standards with me 👍 | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/23 09:57 PM |
| 1 | Help? Wife seeking men’s perspective on what you think I should do…He acts exactly like the bitches we criticize so much on this sub: wants to fuck other people but keep the benefits of marriage. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/23 06:06 PM |
| 1 | Help? Wife seeking men’s perspective on what you think I should do…He's not ever her ex... yet. At least read the whole story before saying something. Guy's a piece of shit and I won't side by him just because he's a man. How I wish my ex wife was as supportive as OP claims to be. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/23 06:04 PM |
| 1 | Help? Wife seeking men’s perspective on what you think I should do…This guy's sick and sounds like he can never be satisfied. You be the judge. Also, you don't have to be supportive of adultery. And, finally, yes, there are guys who genuinely desire to stay with one women, to love her and be reciprocated. VERY, VERY hard to find, but they do exist. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/23 05:44 PM |
| 2 | Tips for Dealing with Second ThoughtsIs she monkey branching? If so, her branch probably tore down and she's trying to hang into a safe one - you - until she finds another she regards as secure. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/23 04:52 PM |
| 1 | You know you're not ok when...It sure is. I've watched a lot a woman named Luma Aziz once saying "don't confuse your bad days with a bad life". So true! We'll most certainly crawl out of this hole, one step at a time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/03/23 12:19 PM |
| 3 | You know you're not ok when...It's almost misterious. It's been final for 9+ months and still coming back to bite my ass. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/03/23 09:36 AM |
| 2 | You know you're not ok when...Thank you for the kind words! I'm angry at myself because it shouldn't affect me at all but it felt like a straight jab to my jaw - for a few seconds, I lost my senses and became completely unaware of my surroundings while that "hello, hello?" kept echoing in my head. I talked to my parents about it and besides the obvious - revoke her access to the intercom - they've acted as they always do: dismissive about my pain and feelings in general. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/03/23 09:33 AM |
| 5 | You know you're not ok when...Isn't that just plain pitiful? No other human should that power over us, yet here we are, grown ass men on their knees because a woman's voice or some other equivalent thing. It's been 9+ months for me and everyday I'm discovering new layers of this rotten onion called divorce. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/03/23 09:26 AM |
| 7 | You know you're not ok when...Hearing her voice felt like PTSD to me. I mean, as weird as it may sound, I'm over her, but not over what she did. Besides, I didn't have the slightest idea it would ring on her cellphone - it should have been redirected to my parents or my brother. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/03/23 03:48 AM |
| 1 | Guys, for those who read my previous post: BOMB HAS BEEN DEFUSED. THANK YOU ALL!Now that I bluntly told her I'm not ready for a relationship she's acting all like "oh, you're rushing things, I was never interested, we're just friends bla bla bla" 🤣 | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/03/23 01:38 AM |
| 1 | What are some strange new interests your ex developed?I don't really know 'cause I couldn't fucking care less about her adultery life 👍 She may as well stick a cactus up her arse, it's none of my concern any longer | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/03/23 01:22 AM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Some other redditor said I'm in the "get my dick wet phase"... so true 😬 But this chick won't just get laid with me, so, that's a no no | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/03/23 05:53 PM |
| 2 | Guys, for those who read my previous post: BOMB HAS BEEN DEFUSED. THANK YOU ALL!Actually, I do want a serious relationship and want kids, but unfortunately she doesn't have the time I need, it means, not now for me, so it seems fair to not waste both her time and mine. You don't know how hard it was to tell her that, but I did it. Mission accomplished. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/03/23 12:16 AM |
| 1 | How’s my chances with getting Full custody or 50/50 physicalWhat I don't get is why you tried to reconcile with a woman that endangered you physically 🤷♂️ | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/03/23 01:25 AM |
| 3 | lonelyYou probably know it, but, please, stop driving drunk. Your life is valuable, don't endanger all of your future because of a temporary problem. You may not believe this is temporary, but it is. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/03/23 09:39 PM |
| 2 | After my divorce, I don't know if I'm better at vetting women or if I am just broken.I buckled because I was a weak coward. Never again. #metoo | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/03/23 09:21 PM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Likewise for women it's VERY hard to find a trustworthy husband. No doubt about it. I mentioned Proverbs 31:10 because I'm a Christian man, but the Bible has a whole lot of advice for men as males, fathers and husbands, and that will be an essential piece of my recovery and evolution. I'm reassured by God's blessings I'll be a better man after this shitstorm settles down 🙏 If it takes two to tango, I'm righting my wrongs and rehearsing my steps! | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 07:52 PM |
| 1 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?So, if you were a woman, would you date the version of you that you were while you were still living with your parents? Especially with no sure sign that you would become the version of you that you are today? The version I was while dating the x? Hell fucking no. That relationship turned the once confident man I was before her into a lousy depressed lazy fat ball. I'm just started on my track to become myself again: a smart, confident man. Now just wealthier, emotionally evolved and fit 💪 Maybe… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 07:37 PM |
| 1 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?I just started reading "No more Mr. Nice Guy", alongside with "Codependence no more". I'll look into the titles you mentioned. Do any of those books teach how to avoid that smile of hers? 😐 | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 07:26 PM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?That's a certainty. Non-negotiable. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 07:23 PM |
| 1 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Long enough to confirm that I didn't want to move back in their home. I still feel at home whem I'm there and it sure feels good to be taken care of and be loved by them, but we no longer fit at the same home 24/7, I need my own space. I'll be forever grateful though to my father, who paid my downpayment so I could go on with a mortgage for the apartment I own today. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 05:11 PM |
| 3 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Really dangerous and toxic route this of mgtow/redpill/blackpill/shitpill/whatever. Not all of us men are equal, why think that of women? I do agree that it's VERY hard to find a trustworthy wife, even the Bible says that at Proverbs 31:10, but we have way more than a thousand miles going from that to despising females as if they were a whole, undivisible unit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 05:07 PM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?We share both the time frame and the positive outlook, that is, when the timing is right. Thanks, God bless you 🙏 | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 05:02 PM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?I have to uproot the way I view the world to surrogate a child :/ I was raised to believe that outside of my parents home, family equals to marriage with or without kids, according to the couple's wishes. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 05:00 PM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Not good looking I would say, but I'm tall, lean, dress ok, nice job, good sense of humor, etc. Wanna date me? 🤣 | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 04:57 PM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Those are her own interests, not any of mine | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 02:18 PM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Yeah, it feels like a lost opportunity both for me and for her | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 02:17 PM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?She knows I'm not ready and has also openly stated that to me. Maybe we just met at the wrong time 🤷♂️ | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 02:15 PM |
| 1 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?I don't see it in a bad light. Right after divorce I also moved back into my parents' place, she did the same. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 02:12 PM |
| 3 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Yeah, I'm keeping her at bay... for now. Divorce really wrecks us on so many emotional levels, doesn't it? For those that are Christians, it's no wonder God Himself made into the Bible: "For I hate divorce,”s says Jehovah the God of Israel, “and the one who covers his garment with violence,” says Jehovah of armies. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 02:10 PM |

| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?We men are fools, aren't we? Rationally I'm unable to counter you, because you're logically accurate, but all that rationale falls apart with her smile. Shit 🤡 | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 01:56 PM |
| 1 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?She was driven by nothing else in life (which means no carreer aspirations or even meaningful hobbies). Funny how each one of us has a different metric. I would never ever even date someone like this. Don't get me wrong, please, I think I see the reasoning behind your choice of marrying her, that's just not the way I think 🙃 The cult-like self-help seminar part makes me ask if all women are really that supple. The x divorced me 6 months after changing jobs, having seen THREE LTR couples disbandl… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 11:07 AM |
| 1 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?But never ever get in a relationship with a blamer. I wholeheartedly agree that's one red flag. From her POV, he didn't grieve at all or was very disrespectful and dismissive of her pain, which might have been the wrongest possible way to deal with his own grievance. Once again, if what she told me is the truth, that's no way to treat anyone, much less a mother that had just lost a baby 2 months old. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 10:55 AM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?The one that has a kid is a drugstore clerk no older than 25. Hot as fuck if you ask me. What you need is a respectful and subservient woman. That will support you and not old enough to have kids with you. ... At least marry someone 6 or more years younger than you. Preach, brother. My true desire is that things go as close as possible to this. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 10:50 AM |
| 3 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Test the waters for a few years and then start talking marriage. That's my true wish and I'll do my best to stick to it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 10:41 AM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?I'm royally damned then, because I don't think I have what it takes to be a fuck boi or, worse, paying for hookers. Sometime I wish I had, but I don't and I had no difficulty just accepting that. I know myself and if I go that route it'll surely lead me to a nightmare level depression, unless I do a 180 on the moral foundation I was raised on. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 10:40 AM |
| 3 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?She moved back in with mom and sis after the divorce | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 10:35 AM |
| 1 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Look! Sons* are an inheritance from Jehovah; The fruit of the womb is a reward. That's what's written on Psalms 127:3. I've been raised with that and truly believe it, and I just go along well with kids in general. I think that what you say is that I'm not obliged to be a dad or that having kids should be the goal of my life, but I really wouldn't see a baby as a curse - in a loving family environment, of course. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 10:34 AM |
| 1 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?You're most likely right, but, man... if things really happened as she told me, the guy is the utmost jerk. The loss of a son is the most grievous event that can occur to a parent, especially to a mother, and the way she said to me he treated her is just not right. Plus, meanwhile, he was betraying her with a cousin of him. She could be lying? Sure. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 10:24 AM |
| 3 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?You will probably lose her in the future. It might have already happened. Was honest with her, to which she replied that I seem to be broken and need time to cure. That I seem like a loving and caring man, but I need to cure in order to find someone, yada yada, etc. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 03:50 AM |

First one in 9 months... just feels good being alive and looking at other women without guilt! Too bad I met her now | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 03:41 AM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?We just had a talk and she said that I seem to still be broken and need more time to cure, so, I'm no longer sure she's so interested 😑 | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 03:39 AM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?One of the wisest comments in this thread, thank you. That's my perception too, not a good alignment of my needs and hers. I just wish we met some years earlier or a few months later 😑 | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 03:37 AM |
| 3 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?9 months isn’t enough time for you to have your head clear, I agree with all of your comment, but I stressed this part because... she just said me that. We just had a talk and she said that I seem to still be broken and need more time to cure, so, I'm no longer sure she's so interested. That's both relieving and stressful if you ask me 🤯 | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 03:35 AM |

| 0 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Uhh, first part of the story you told me is my story, actually - I got out of my divorce financially unscratched. But I still want kids and can't envision that outside of a family arrangement. Blame my education for that 🤷♂️ | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 03:22 AM |
| -1 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?Well, her parents divorced a long time ago. She lived with her mom and her sister, until july/2022, when their mother died from a cancer. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 03:20 AM |
| 2 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?You seem like a relationship guy so I know that this is happening. Definitely I am. As for the real-estate trick, I don't know... we just had a talk, she said to have already noticed I'm still broken and need time to cure, so, I'm just not so sure she's that interested at all. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 03:15 AM |
| 3 | 9 months in, women are beggining to show interest in me. How to behave?but the fact is that she ditched her last husband when he couldn't give her what she wanted. I see things this way too, but she also mentioned how he dealt with her grievance and the loss of their son. If things happened as she told me, he's a complete jerk. As for being a lawyer, well, I'm one too, so let's fight fire with fire LOL | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 03:13 AM |

| 2 | Update - Divorce Papers SignedI know where you're at, trust me. But you won't get under her skin by showing you care. Emotions like love, hate, anger, etc. show you care, and at this point, it's normal for you. You know what will truly hurt her? Your indifference. Take baby steps into indifference, but never go backwards. I'm just trying to warn you with first hand experience advice, so you may not repeat my mistakes. Take care of yourself and count on us over here. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/23 09:11 PM |
| 1 | Why do wives try to show minor affection during a divorce (living together)?Dude, a few days before leaving home, me and my x were on the bed, snuggled up, I got hard as a stone, she noticed and dropped a "There's no mood for it" and then proceeded to hold my hand and hug me as tight as she could, like saying without words "I'll miss you but I'm fucking another guy, sorry". They all pull from the same playbook. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/23 02:39 PM |

| 1 | Update - Divorce Papers SignedI'm still grappling if I should confront about what I know about her infidelity. Its been a major source of my anger and I'm not great on letting shit go. Don't. She will come up with ALL kinds of excuses to shift the blame towards you. Not worth it, because a cheater is always a liar. All it'll do is confuse you and give her validation like "oh he still cares". You're trying to make a cheater feel guilty, and cheaters feel no guilt or remorse over their actions, they're always justified. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/23 01:58 PM |
| 2 | Check this outYou sure have your share of fault, so do I, as all of us here, both men and women. But your ex is a cheater and cheaters deserve no pity, fuck him, he's now at best a stranger and at worst your enemy. And as a man I'm actually glad to see you holding yourself accountable - that's a rare sight in women. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/23 01:46 PM |

| 2 | Am I being a sissy? How much putting down is too much?I've been reading "Codependence no more" as a way of starting to understand how I mimicked my parents behavior in their marriage on mine, and how that contributed to divorce. Not to blame them, of course, after all, it's my responsibility to work on my own faults. But it's undeniable the environment we grow in has a HUGE influence on how we behave as adults. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/23 12:46 PM |
| 1 | Am I being a sissy? How much putting down is too much?Over the years, I have upgraded every aspect of her life: health, wealth, intellect, political awareness, social status…etc. That’s what a man is supposed to do for his chosen queen. But on the flip side, she has become increasingly ungrateful, less affectionate and just plain mean. Have we married the same woman or are we the same guy? 🤨 | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/23 12:31 PM |

| 1 | I got told by GP to go hospital and speak to psychiatristThe meds you've been prescribed have a low chance of, for the short term (a few days) actually increase ocurrence of suicidal thought. Please, please, don't stay alone if that happens. Your life is valuable and we're here, rooting for you. Good thing you just started taking care of yourself.

| 2 | Wife’s 39 weeks pregnant and now wants a divorce.No woman asks for divorce like this if she's isn't very sure to have a soft landing, doesn't matter that it turns out in reality to be a delusion of her mind. Even if the baby she's pregnant of is yours, she already has a new man or has one - or more - lined up. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/23 09:59 PM |
| 4 | My wife just filed for divorce. I told her to settle this on our own, but she went ahead and hired an attorney anyway. The only assets we have right now is in my bank account. I have around 8k, our joint account have around 8k, and my 401k account has around 10k.Come on, my man, try to put your feelings for your stbx aside for a little, reserve all your loving for your baby. Your stbx is now at best a stranger, who also happens to be the mother of your child, and at worst, your enemy. LAWYER UP NOW. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/23 09:25 PM |
| 1 | Wife’s 39 weeks pregnant and now wants a divorce.Aside from the kids, it was a very similar situation: a hormonal lady saying uncalculated things and then backing off. When it happened, it was always around day 20 of the month every time. Coincidence? | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/23 01:44 AM |
| 12 | Wife’s 39 weeks pregnant and now wants a divorce.Look, my x also had this habit of breaking up and dropping the D bomb. Utmostly, it made me not care, because we always managed to even our differences and keep things going, until she found greener pastures and it was no longer a threat. If you let her keep doing this, she'll lose respect for you, if that hasn't already happened. Either you pretend you don't care or you get along with her wishes. "Oh, so you want a divorce? Here it is". | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/23 01:41 AM |
| 6 | Wife’s 39 weeks pregnant and now wants a divorce.Shit, now that you've given details, it reminds of when me and x had 3 months of marriage. She sent me a lenghty email asking for divorce. The reason? She dropped her cellphone during a light argument we had the weekend prior, and, of course, it was all my blame, all I cared about was money, bla bla bla Should've let her go, lost so many opportunities to bang hot ladies at college... 🤦♂️ | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/23 01:35 AM |

| 3 | After divorce, I _______I bought my first apartment and am living alone for the first time in my life. Also, first time too without a car, I drive since I was 18. Lots of changes, most of them big, some little, but a whole lot of them. I'm now dealing better with them, but at the beginning of it all I was simply overwhelmed. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/02/23 02:46 AM |
| 1 | Maybe a reminder? Just updated my will...Both situations make us grieve, although divorce is hideous, while death is just inevitable. I think that's why you're like this - pretty normal human grieving. Allow yourself to it but don't linger on it for too long, not healty. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/02/23 02:39 AM |
| 3 | ex wife and social mediaJust hear this man. I know it's hard when we're in denial or some kind of hope things will work out, etc. Take the steps as soon as you're ready, but take'em. You have kids, so radio silence is impossible, but pursue the goal to be as close to it as you can get while being the best dad you can be. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/02/23 02:37 AM |
| 7 | Does anyone want to actually reconcile?I wanted, before the divorce, which she rushed like I had never seen her rushing anything prior. I think all of you guys know the reason or have some very educated guess 🤡 Actually, even a few months after finding what happened, I was still shocked and in denial. Lucky me she didn't try any moves, I was so vulnerable and needy I could have fallen for it, who knows. Guess what? I'm way better now. And better off without that bitch. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/02/23 10:43 PM |

| 1 | tremorsYou will. I suppose from what you said that your divorce is still ongoing or is very recent. But, yes, you will survive. Be patient with yourself while this pain won't relief, keep doing what you have the energy and will to do, and keep improving those steps as you possibly can. It's a long road, comrade, but don't give your ex the taste of victory over you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/02/23 01:28 AM |

If she's like my ex, she's trying to polish her image - to herself and the rest of the world. She might be the extremely vain type, again, like my ex, who could maybe, just maybe, be telling horrible lies about you and painting herself like a holy angel so she appears as the good girl on her own story.

I have total power to cancel it and make her lose 2FA authentications, have to tell everyone and their mother about a new number etc., still, I haven't done that - I could just transfer it to her.

It keeps hammering in my head "how come you haven't seen that? why didn't you do or didn't do this or that differently?" Fun fact: just spoke to my mom over the phone, I complained to her of being tired of loneliness, to which she replied "you have barely experienced a single man's life, chill out". | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/02/23 01:35 AM |
