She has gotten no reassurance of a solid commitment to fixing the relationship. this is a goddamn lie. my ex's attempt to salvage was coming down while I was doing all the chores and then getting pissed off I wasn't also initiating the conversation or offering her backrubs.

Surrogacy businesses need to spin up a bit more and women need to be fully commoditized the way they want to be.

| 1 | How do you get over the unfairness of a 50/50 financial split when you spent your entire marriage supporting her medical career?according to my existing lawyer a judge is unlikely to award spousal support to someone making close to 180k. But yea i'll setup a few more 500$ appointments I guess to consult on my case. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/25 02:42 PM |

No! I make 180k a which for my actual requirements out of life was perfectly fine. I had no need of her medical career or cardiology career.

| 2 | How do you get over the unfairness of a 50/50 financial split when you spent your entire marriage supporting her medical career?I don't understand why you're characterizing this as hoping for payoff later. I'm totally fine with her moving on with the career and sending me zero alimony I just don't understand this horseshit about giving her my savings during the long con as well. Why do YOU think that's ok? | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/05/25 04:45 AM |
| 2 | How do you get over the unfairness of a 50/50 financial split when you spent your entire marriage supporting her medical career?What's more at issue is her putting aside 300k a year and grinding me into dust supporting her through her entirely optional fellowship There are several cases in apellate rulings in my state, where the court attributes the income the doctor would have earned as a general physician during the course of the fellowship when considering the doctor's responsibility of support.

| 5 | How do you get over the unfairness of a 50/50 financial split when you spent your entire marriage supporting her medical career?that's most of it, yeah I just don't understand how it became like this. It's the only contract that is not disclosed and can be changed at will by a third party (the state) and the contracts are not even versioned. like you could enter marriage when X.Y.Z protections are in place and boom they pass a law and the contract provisions are unilaterally changed for everyone it's absolutely nuts that men get married with these rules, especially when you look at this graph and see that the majority of… | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/05/25 02:28 AM |

He can't say much yet and the woman is a manipulator who demands total adoration and devotion. Textbook Narcissist.

I'm sick of generating paperwork for the lawyers or constantly trying to justify a request for unequal distribution in my head and imagining what nonsense she's drumming up on her end.

| 9 | How do you get over the unfairness of a 50/50 financial split when you spent your entire marriage supporting her medical career?at this point giving other guys a heads up would make a little happier but not happy. Maybe some activism around forcing people to read a real legal contract document that establishes clearly what you're about to lose, when signing for a marriage certificate would be a step in the right direction. it's the only contract whose terms you only find out during the divorce | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/05/25 08:04 PM |
| 4 | How do you get over the unfairness of a 50/50 financial split when you spent your entire marriage supporting her medical career?Amen! It wasn't just her. I helped both her siblings get better careers than the dead end ones they had selected. The whole family could have wallowed in the gutter of low expectations that they were in before we got married.

I never upgraded vehicles clothes or lifestyle till I had to and I live frugally. How the fuck can I not focus on the past? That's like 20 yrs of work I'm just handing over to someone who did nothing for it other than get married and use me to further her career goals.

| 3 | How do you get over the unfairness of a 50/50 financial split when you spent your entire marriage supporting her medical career?doesn't help but it was a definitely a long con. She hid assets and her family was suddenly flying to the UK and Dubai after a lifetime of never travelling. The problem is that the way the lawyer talks the court doesn't really care about a fair division. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/05/25 06:57 PM |

| 2 | How do you get over the unfairness of a 50/50 financial split when you spent your entire marriage supporting her medical career?I've gone through 2 attorneys and they both didn't like my chances of getting justice because she filed it at just the right time to show that she has less income. Basically the problem is I shouldn't have worked. I should have asked her to take out a loan to support the family while she left me at home to do childcare. That would have worked out in my favor. Unfortunately since I worked and did childcare and nearly lost my goddamn mind being so stressed out all the time the court can't put a co… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/05/25 06:29 PM |

It's just less than mine right now.

| 3 | How do you get over the unfairness of a 50/50 financial split when you spent your entire marriage supporting her medical career?I don't care about the finances more than it will carry me through a layoff or a job drought. the unfairness is mostly about her building a 600k career she can take out of the marriage without owing me alimony but I owe her assets from my excess savings after defraying her educational costs.

I'm in the same boat first year out she took a significant chunk of my savings after I carried her for the training into a very high income career.

| 1 | Why do Women give up on their marriage more than men do?it's not the steeper learning curve that's the issue, it's the societal expectation that men shouldn't be anywhere near kids that's driving men out of learning how to do these things. Men are practically gone in education for example. Society seems to think it behooves men to be out doing the hard, dirty and dangerous jobs women won't do and then somehow come back home with hard and calloused hands and apply diaper rash cream to a baby.
