| 1 | What is the occupation of your STBXW or Ex-Wife?Good for you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/06/26 04:16 PM |
| 2 | What is the occupation of your STBXW or Ex-Wife?She has no job. Why would she get a job when she gets a big alimony check every month. If she got a job I would go back to court to get it reduced. She will never get a job. Her parents are rich. She collects alimony and gets whatever she wants from her parents. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/06/26 04:13 PM |
| 2 | Erectile Dysfunction…Good question. I don't know the answer to that. I will say I have come dependent on them as I have not even attempted to have sex without one for the last 2 years. I'm too afraid of going limp during sexy time. But I was struggling with ED for awhile before so it was worth it for me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/05/26 05:51 AM |

On days I plan to have sex I skip it or take a very low dose. Your vyvanse may be contributing to your ED. I was struggling with ED after divorce as well. Going on TRT helped a lot.

| 11 | Trying to put myself out there.I work from home. Rarely interact with women. It's work, gym, home. I hit the bar scene pretty hard for two during my Seperation and first year of divorce. I'm 48m and hooked up with a hot 29 bar tender and a smoking hot half Cuban half Irish girl. They didn't last. I'm so sick of the bar scene and don't like to drink anymore. I know that's the easiest way to bump into women but I am so over the bar scene. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/05/26 02:52 AM |

I've been on the apps and get matches but it's been really hard for me to actually move forward with dates because my divorce has crushed my self esteem and confidence. I got the courage to see one date up off hinge and could tell within the first 30 minutes the girl was not into me. She unmatched me after the date. Not sure why the rejection hurt so bad but it did.

She had sex before we got married which didn't bother me but I think she had a lot of religious guilt from it. There were a lot of red flags before we got married that I just ignored because I was naive in thinking that once we got married, all of a sudden she would be affectionate and sexually open to me.

I had a very high libido and was very sexually fristrated in the marriage. I just wanted to release the energy. I do think it's lame she used porn as a ground for divorce.

I had a friend who came to me and told me I needed to go home. So towards the end I went home and told her if she didn't want to be in the house with me she could leave. Worst decision was leaving the home. When I went home she left. I recommend you go home and refuse to leave. Tell her if she has a problem with it she needs to leave.

I've dated for 4 months. I go to church occasionally. I've gone to therapy. I've tried 4 different anti-depressants. I try to get lost in my job but I work for my ex father-in-law which does not help. I'm being wrecked financially. still feel hopeless and don't want to live every day I wake up.

| 1 | Did any of you guys take off from work when fighting divorce case? It is really draining me mentally I am unable to focus at work, especially when I think that I may lose my kids.I found it very hard to focus at work. I don't go in the office any more because I work for her father. I would not wish working for your father in law while going through divorce on anyone. Now I work from home and am extremely isolated. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/03/24 06:58 AM |

| 3 | Need adviceI'm in California 47 years old. Was married 20 years and she never worked. Divorce is final in a few weeks and I have to pay $3k in child support and $7k month in Alimony. The Alimony is indefinite so if she does not get married again (which she won't). And she gets half my 401k. I'll most likely be paying her alimony the rest of her life. I can't even think of retiring now. She will be in a nice home (her parents are rich) and I'll be scraping by to life on a 2 bedroom apartment close to my son… | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/03/24 06:42 AM |

| 2 | Sex before marriage- good or bad the second time around.Well I'm not completely ruined financially but it's made things tight. There is nothing to address. It's math. I know what I'm facing but there is no way around it. Married for 20 years and she didn't work. When it's final I'll have to pay approx $3k in child support, and $7k in alimony. Alimony is indefinite amount of time so unless she gets married or gets a job I'll be paying that for a very long time. Maybe the rest of her life. And I still pay way more than that to continue to support my da… | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/12/23 10:23 AM |
| 3 | Sex before marriage- good or bad the second time around.I'm being financially destroyed in my divorce. No money to travel. Just had shoulder surgery so the gym and surfing are out for 6 months. Just trying to not drink and smoke weed to numb the pain. Literally just taking it a day at time. The guys in this group seem to being dealing with things better than I am. I feel completely lost and defeated in all this. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/12/23 09:28 AM |
| 3 | Sex before marriage- good or bad the second time around.I'm 46. I don't plan to get married again. I don't want to do life alone though. In full disclosure I did have some amazing sex after a year into my separation. It lasted 4 months. After that ended it just left me feeling more empty. For those 4 months I felt great. But now my self esteem and self confidence are lower than they have ever been. Hard to imagine I'm 46 and have only had sex with 2 women in my lifetime. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/12/23 09:16 AM |
| 4 | Sex before marriage- good or bad the second time around.Like I said, I should have had sex before we got married. I married when I was young and was brainwashed by the church. I thought I was doing the right thing. It's causing some issues for me now. While I like the church for many things, I don't agree with this belief anymore. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/12/23 06:50 AM |
| 4 | Sex before marriage- good or bad the second time around.Wow. Shocker. My ex is very conservative and uses religion as a weapon against me. I did not cheat on my wife. She claimed I cheated on her because she knew I looked at porn sometimes. It was a sexless marriage for years. I'm not proud of what I did but I don't consider it cheating. She did. And she made it a point to let others know at the church. Funny how people can use the Bible when it's convenient. Now she will get a hefty alimony maybe for life. Not sure where that's justified in the Bibl… | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/12/23 06:39 AM |
| 4 | Higher earner afraid of losing big in divorceI'm in California. I make pretty good money and she didn't work for 20 years. I'm going to have to pay $3k child support and approx $7k in alimony per month. And it's indefinite unless she gets a job (she says she will never get a job) or gets married. I'm financially ruined. She's in a nice house by the beach in a gated community and im left renting a shitty apartment. I'm her work slave for many years. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/12/23 05:58 AM |

| 1 | Alimony and child support CaliforniaThanks. I should not have stated for life. It states indefinite. I don't want mine to go to court. In order to avoid court I'm going to have to convince my stbxw to take less which probably won't happen. In my lawyers defense he can't really do much for me if I'm trying to settle out of court. It's up to my stbxw and her lawyer. Did you end up with a better settlement going with a second lawyer? | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/23 07:27 AM |

| 6 | Alimony and child support CaliforniaI would have kept her. She gave me the papers. Seriously. California rewards women in divorce who don't get jobs. And the longer your married, the more you pay in alimony. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/23 04:54 AM |

| 7 | Who has gone to a female therapist during divorce and what was your exoerience like?Thanks for the input. I've done a lot of therapy in the past. The therapist my ex and I used to go to were all Christian therapists. I'm a pastors kid and had issues with the church and realized the religious theralist were usually not a good fit for me. They usually always ended up telling me that my issue was my relationship or lack of relationship with God that was the issue. Not what I need right now. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/12/23 04:10 AM |

| 1 | How do I deal with a new life?Good advice. I found a situationship early after my legal separation. Was great for 4 months with mind blowing sex than she bolted and made me feel even more depressed and damaged than I was from the divorce. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/12/23 02:58 AM |
| 4 | Is marrying a God-fearing woman the answer?I was raised in the church as a pastors kid and married a very conservative Christian women and she gave me divorce papers after 20 years. I'm in a situation where I'm looking for someone who is not in the church. My wife used religion against me in many cases. I made mistakes but it always made me feel like I was not good enough. She was the only one i had sex with my entire life. I waited until marriage and soon realized she had intimacy issues. It was a pretty cold marriage when it came to se… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/12/23 05:52 AM |

She will never work and won't get remarried. I may have to pay her alimony for the rest of her life. Her parents are rich so between what she gets from me and her parents she's loaded and I'm now in a shitty apartment. California divorce laws are brutal. And I work for her father.
