| 6 | Going through a divorce, ex hasn't talked to me at all in the last 30 days, although I hear that is more common. It's made everything harder but Im working thru it.What ever you do… don’t resort to alcohol. You will get lots of anxiety so find things to do to focus on yourself.. try mindfulness meditation, yoga etc… I could give a rats ass if I never see my ex wife… the only problem is sharing our child. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/07/24 07:30 AM |

Screenshot it… This is not setting a good example of family structure for your children’s wellbeing. Get a lawyer, get full custody of your children… they don’t need to be around her if she is looking to fuck around… this will only confuse them. You gave her one too many chances… the marriage is done. Focus on your kids. If you find love down the road with someone who appre… | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/06/24 04:47 AM |
| 1 | Wife says she wants a divorce, and full custody of our 5 month oldDepending on what state you live in, you should get 50/50 custody. Did she have a previous job? Have her income imputed. Alimony is typically the amount of years you were married. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/24 12:29 AM |

| 1 | My STBX has no jobTo be honest…. I haven’t got a clue… she has lied many times and as soon as I said divorce, she took our son out of school and went to a battered women shelter… the burden of proof she showed was a cut on her finger that she did to herself. I can’t even remember the last time we held hands together. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/05/24 02:31 AM |

| 3 | Feeling so aloneYou do not realize the freedom you have just acquired… but at least you recognized your own faults. Work on yourself. Be confident and take some anger management courses. Try doing the things on your bucket list… one of mine is to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). We only have just this one life. Most people pray and suffer and wait for an afterlife… but ask yourself this…. Do you remember anything before you were born? If not, how will you remember anything after death? This is coming … | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/05/24 06:50 PM |

| 2 | Beware the new cupcakeLet me add on here…. It is ok to be single for the rest of your life…. You made a commitment to your children. Focus on your on wellbeing as it will only help you put your mind in a good place. Confidence is a thing that women can smell. Love comes when you least expect it or when you aren’t even looking for it. Focus on being the good father and take them to places that their mother can’t afford to take them to. When they get older, they will know who the responsible parent is. I’m going throug… | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/05/24 04:51 PM |

I’m fighting for custody and it’s been two months since I haven’t seen him… they always believe the women | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/05/24 05:12 AM |
| 3 | Wife Going For Full CustodyShe is hiding something… a weapon to use against you in the court of law. For example… I am a NJ resident where we have 50/50 custody…. The court is biased against combat veterans… especially the marines… there is a double standard in the legal system. I have not seen my son because she filed a TRO against me for false allegations of assault…. It is very easy to do… just make yourself bleed and that is all the burden of proof they need. The court doesn’t know she has 92k in her personal bank acc… | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 04:28 AM |
| 3 | I almost feel like during the separation, she completely managed to deconstruct our history and relationships to accommodate her decision to separate.My wife is very manipulative.. and the counselor we had was young and unprofessional… while she agreed that I told my wife that the GI bill I’m giving her is 36 months… my wife wanted to fulfill her dream as an art teacher for elementary students… she wanted to do college part time to get a 4 year degree that would take about 10 years… I told her how are you going to not use the full potential of the benefit for 36 months? Why part time for 10 years because they won’t cover tuition after 4 years… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/24 03:37 PM |
| 4 | I almost feel like during the separation, she completely managed to deconstruct our history and relationships to accommodate her decision to separate.I agree… the marriage counselor is a female… she had bias against be having stereotypical combat PTSD… so she assumed I was a controlling and would disagree to everything my STBX would say… all I can say to her is… well played | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/24 02:23 PM |
| 0 | Betrayed Men w/o KidsI’ve been married for 7 years and we share a 6 year old autistic child. After being so jaded and having enough of my failing marriage… I told my STBX that I would like to have a divorce with shared custody due to coparenting disagreements over coparenting. My wife threatened me with using my PTSD issues and “other mental health issues”… I am a combat vet and served 8 years in the marine corps. I have one of those jobs that requires a clean record, otherwise I get fired …13 years of building a ca… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/24 12:11 PM |
| 3 | I almost feel like during the separation, she completely managed to deconstruct our history and relationships to accommodate her decision to separate.I feel your frustration… I am in the same situation.. I asked my STBX to be more financially independent and her excuse is that her friends don’t work because their husbands provide… that is not my ideal in the current situation we live in… nowadays, both parents need to work to make ends meet…. Also… while I’m in debt for $30 in credit card bills… I found her recent bank statement that was mailed to my address … she has $100k in her checking account and I’ve paid for EVERYTHING | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/24 04:05 AM |
| 7 | I almost feel like during the separation, she completely managed to deconstruct our history and relationships to accommodate her decision to separate.My STBX is like that… telling everyone she is the victim of domestic violence when she was the one that would provoke me into arguments about our disagreements in coparenting. She still sleeps with our son since infancy to which where I was concerned about the dangers of rolling over. I got kicked out of sharing a bed with my wife to living and sleeping in the basement. I’m nonconfrontational and do not like to argue in front of our child. He is 6 and still cosleeps with his mother. Not good for… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/24 04:01 AM |
| 1 | Getting Divorced and seeing son only 4 months a year: bad choice?I haven’t seen my son in almost two months now due to my STBX putting a restraining order on me over completely false allegations of assault. I never laid a hand on her and have never done so with any woman I’ve been with. My mother taught me better…she did it to use as leverage over sole custody when I said I want a divorce with shared custody… she threatened me with using my ptsd issues against me which has nothing to do with me being a good father and husband…. I wanted a divorce because she … | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/24 03:40 AM |

| 2 | Does one ever get over her betrayal of choosing to open up our private marriage to her friends, over communicating with me?That was the first time we had an argument… which wasn’t secretly recorded… I’ve expressed to her about breaking and disrespecting marital boundaries… I’ve wanted a divorce for years… was saving up money for a divorce lawyer and ended up paying for a criminal defense lawyer because she claimed false allegations of assault and harassment which never even happened… I work one of those jobs that requires a clearance… now my job is in jeopardy and I have so far paid $12k in lawyers… I haven’t even s… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/05/24 02:23 PM |

| 1 | Has anyone considered Legal Separation? Why did you choose divorce instead?Fuck no… fuck legal separation.. all that means is she is benefiting off of your benefits…. Like Health insurance, car insurance, cell phone etc… while she can sit there and fuck other guys on your dime… get the full divorce and suck it up on alimony but make sure you fight to minimize that because she needs to eventually be gainfully employed… my STBX is a fucking bum and refuses to work…. In the end… she will eventually have to find some sort of job as alimony doesn’t last forever… typically i… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/05/24 05:15 AM |

| 5 | Does one ever get over her betrayal of choosing to open up our private marriage to her friends, over communicating with me?My STBX talks to her ex husband on a daily basis. I’m a combat vet with PTSD and she uses it against me to play as a victim to make her ex feel sorry for her. When I mentioned divorce… she threatened me with using the PTSD issues against me which has nothing to do with the last of our communication and trust. I transferred my GI bill to her to encourage her to be financially independent and she gets tutored by her ex every week for English…. I told her why didn’t you ask me? I’m a god damn tech … | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/05/24 04:47 AM |
| 2 | What was your next relationship like?Women will never be satisfied. It’s in their nature… they seek comfort through religion and try to justify their wrong doings… all I ever did was support our family and have been the only one to contribute financially to the family… she wants no job and just to be lazy.. no cleaning , no house chores… I’ve been doing it all…. She even invited her ex husband over my god damn house… MY HOUSE… while I was working…. Women are vicious creatures… I will never ever get fucking married again | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/05/24 04:41 AM |

If you feel the way you feel now… stick with the plan… I stopped loving my wife 3 years ago and we’ve been married for 7. She wouldn’t get a job… she is lazy and all she wants is sole custody of our son. She has not let me get my fair share of coparenting and disagrees with me trying to teach our son age appropriate manners as he is autistic. 6 years old and he still drinks out of a baby milk bottle is just one example.

| 9 | What was your next relationship like?Don’t ever get remarried … my money is sucked dry from lawyers criminal defense and divorce and I’m about to lose by job because due to a restraining order for harassment… apparently there are many forms of harassment.. like cursing at her more than once… for inviting her ex husband over my house hanging out with our son while I was at work.

I am just starting a divorce process and I don’t love my wife as she has been manipulative and over controlling and over bearing with our 6 year old son. All I want is joint custody and she makes it difficult by filing a restraining order against me to gain leverage. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/24 05:35 AM |
| 2 | Wife is divorcing me, do I have to me macho here and pretend it's not killing me?It certainly is… she just made an amendment to the restraining order and now is accusing me of assault due to an incident we had where i accidentally hurt her finger. I had opened a baby gate to the upstairs to get some clothes to bring downstairs to the basement where I have been sleeping separately from my wife. She closed the gate as I came back up to get more clothing and I said to leave it open because I’m doing stuff. She kept closing it as I tried to open it. It was dark because she turne… | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/24 12:39 AM |
