| 1 | Why is this so hard even though it's so obvious?It’s a shame to be with someone else when the right one comes along. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/06/26 02:55 PM |
| 1 | Why do lots of divorced men who hookup try to hookup with cougars and single moms when there are younger women to have sex with?Hang tough. This too shall pass. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/06/26 01:44 PM |
| 1 | Why do lots of divorced men who hookup try to hookup with cougars and single moms when there are younger women to have sex with?How old is she? | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/06/26 01:42 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.It’s good that you found a way to make peace with it. I hope you can still have a relationship with her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/06/26 01:38 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.I’m truly sorry to hear about all of the pain you’ve endured. I can’t imagine it going that long and all of the thoughts in your head during those years. One thing I’m learning is that working on yourself, and figuring out a way to move forward with positivity, is the best that you can do as a man. I wish you all the best. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/06/26 01:22 PM |
| 1 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Thank you. For your sake, I sure hope it’s not. The only thing I could say is don’t have extremely high expectations and try to make sure communication is open from the beginning. I truly did do that but sometimes they still hold things inside and can’t find a way to express them. Maybe I should’ve tried another way, I don’t really know. I know I’ve done my best and I’m still trying. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/06/26 01:19 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Brutal in the moment though. Sorry that has to be hard on a man. Especially your little girl. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/06/26 01:18 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Thanks for the recommendation. Yes he is in therapy and I have a solid email chain with his therapist whom calls me a very good father and acknowledges how much I care and how rare it is. I'm actually writing him a letter today since the text goes unanswered. Appreciate you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 08:59 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.That’s a great start. Happy it worked out in the end. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 04:58 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.I get you. Unfortunately he has cut off his step sister, step mom, and grandmother (whom he was very close and loving with). That part shocks us all. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 03:23 PM |
| 3 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.I agree. Unfortunately he blocked me so I’m writing him letters. Thanks for the thoughts. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 02:44 PM |
| 6 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.From your lips to gods ears. I will do just that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 01:40 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.I believe you have the negative attitude. I asked what you recommend but you appear to just want to throw jabs. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 01:39 PM |
| 5 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Unfortunately I know you're right. Long game it is, even though I miss the time with him already. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 02:14 AM |
| 3 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.I really feel this. And I recognize you are right on point. Thanks for saying it so clearly. I was hesitant to voice this on Reddit but you and several others here have helped me to step back and see it in broader terms. Thanks for taking the time, and I will check out those books. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 01:54 AM |
| 4 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Sure it is. And what do you recommend? "Dramatic"? No, not really. I could have said much more but tried to hit the wave tops. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 01:51 AM |
| 5 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.I am coming to the realization that this is the way. As hard as it is, it's the truth. Maybe I can model a way for him to learn from even if it's not by daily time together. Reality is I also have to try and keep my mind together. I have a wonderful wife and stepdaughter who need me. But I do need to pull back and take some time for myself. Thanks much. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 01:50 AM |
| 5 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.That's a fact. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 01:47 AM |
| 6 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Appreciate the thoughts, I don't disagree. I'm not perfect and hindsight is definitely 20/20. He was a straight A student when I was keeping him in the game. Scouted for D1 sports as a freshman and sophomore. Now he says he doesn't care and may just join the military. I am giving him room. Hope to keep him in my life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 12:44 AM |
| 4 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.I hope it doesn't. I guess like the song says, "hold on loosely but don't let go". | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 12:25 AM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Day by day. Unfortunately wisdom comes with time. We try to pass it on to the kids, but only life can do it I guess. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/26 12:02 AM |
| 7 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.I feel this man. Totally. My ex jumped quickly to another marriage, divorced after a few years, then goes through men. Interestingly they are all "narcissist's". It's the internet so people will think what they want. I know in my heart I did the absolute best I could in all ways. And I still do. I work on myself, take advice, and keep him in the front of my mind. But it also makes it much more painful. If I was able to be more selfish I could say "Screw it, I did my best, it's on them now". But … | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 11:36 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Sorry you all are dealing with that. This generation is run by social media and live via meme sharing. I really hope I don't have to write him off because I don't think I can. You are right in the need to find something else to occupy my mind and time. I am looking into that as the new reality. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 11:27 PM |
| 3 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Agreed. Didn’t want to make the post more lengthy but I have tried many ways to get contact. I’ve decided that if in the next week my constant requests for a meeting (anytime, anywhere, any person there) aren’t met then I will go and knock on the door. If I’m sent away I’ll phone the PD for a welfare check. It’s gone far enough. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 10:58 PM |
| 1 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Thanks for the input. I agree with you. I hope I get the chance. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 10:55 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Facts! I just miss him. We were so tight. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 10:13 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.I agree. We were trying to develop more buy in from him, thus the reason I had him agree with the phone loss if he didn't do the work. But he was probably just agreeing in the moment knowing he wouldn't follow through. Good luck with your daughter! | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 10:12 PM |
| 3 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.It's so hard when you know what's best for them but they won't accept it. I keep trying and hoping. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 10:10 PM |
| 1 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Thank you for that comment. It's hard to be hopeful right now. He's a great kid and I will always be here for him when he's ready. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 10:09 PM |
| 3 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.Harsh take but I get it. No back patting just trying to give context. I'm far from perfect, but still I know what our relationship is/was and non of this makes sense. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 09:15 PM |
| 2 | Son turned 16 and ghosted dad.That's a rough one as well. This to shall pass is my new mantra. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/26 09:13 PM |
