| 3 | When kids ask about the divorce…How old are they? It’s a complicated situation cause I agree you don’t wanna lie to the kids but the same time you don’t want to cause division with the other parent as much as often time we may have very strong negative feelings about them. It’s better to focus on the fact that mommy and daddy both love you very much. We just were not a good fit for each other. As they get older, they start to realize the truth of the situation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/07/26 10:34 PM |
| 4 | My wife (29f) asked me (33m) to divorce. I want to make it right- i love her but we are fundlamentally different. Can we make it work?Once she says she wants divorces it’s over.

Consider the reasons for your separation, your state of mind before, during, and after the breakup, and your support system. The best advice I can give you is to focus on yourself. Find what brings you passion—a hobby, the gym, working out—and stay away from destructive things like alcohol or drugs that won’t help at all. Don’t rush into a new r… | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/12/25 02:07 PM |

That being said, you being divorced has absolutely not impact on you child’s decision or ability to receive the sacraments. Additionally, even if you are divorced legally it’s does not necessarily bar you from full participation. You can look into getting an annulment from the church as well, since your partner was Protestant and I am assuming you were not married in the Church it will likely… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/08/25 01:25 AM |

| 6 | Good gym routine for post-divorce?Since my separation/divorce I’ve been working out a lot. My routine is a little extreme, but it keeps me away from the bottle which is good. Morning cardio - 45 minutes steady states walk with high incline Afternoon - strength training 90 minutes 6 days a week push day, pull day, leg day, rest repeat. I’ve lost 50 pounds over the last year and built a lot of muscle. Best shape of my life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/07/25 08:29 AM |

| 9 | When did you decide it was time.To what extent have you had these conversations with your wife? Divorce is a serious decision and should only come after you have tried everything else. I am not saying your feelings are not valid. It sounds like you are unhappy and feeling stuck. But have you talked to your wife openly about what you need and how you feel? People go through different stages in life. Sometimes it is not that the love is gone. It might just be that both of you are not seeing or hearing each other the way you used… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/25 12:02 AM |

But you walked away because things felt boring or not exciting enough? Now you are upset because dating is not what you thought it would be. You are not missing her because you realize her worth. You are just frustrated that your plan did not give you what you wanted. That is not love. That is immaturity. She gave you a … | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/06/25 03:59 AM |

| 1 | My Ex is Alluding to Everyone She Has Full CustodyIt might that she’s afraid of what people will think to be honest. While 50/50 is more and more common there’s still this perception that the mother is always primary so it could be an optic thing… “what will people think if they new we had 50/50?” | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/25 10:07 PM |
| 4 | ChurchSince you both have 50/50 custody, she’s usually allowed to take your child to church during her time, just like you can choose not to during yours. Unless it’s something big like baptism or in your custody agreement, it’s hard to stop. If it really bothers you, try talking to her or contact an attorney for advice. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/03/25 06:32 PM |

| 2 | Cost of Lawyers/Self RepresentationIronically, I wanted to go to Law School but my stbxw didn’t think it was a good idea since there are sooo many lawyers…. Had to pay for her PhD though | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/08/24 02:31 PM |
| 1 | Cost of Lawyers/Self RepresentationWorse case would be what it is now, the temporary custody order was put in place because of claims about alcohol abuse, which was a struggle years ago. Court mandated some things which I have complied with so I am confident that 50/50 is a likely outcome. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/08/24 01:53 PM |
| 2 | Cost of Lawyers/Self RepresentationYeah, the only thing I’m concerned about is in the paperwork if it all. I’m fairly intelligent, with a graduate degree and spend more time then I would like with legal contracts for works. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/08/24 01:51 PM |
| 4 | Final mediation before trialFrom what I understand and most juristic 50-50 is the default and the fact that you’ve been doing it for a year and if you can establish that in court, put you at an advantage to the status quo should be maintained unless there is some reason that she can prove that there’s some risk to the children with them being with you 50-50 | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/24 09:18 PM |
| 6 | Worst mistake of my lifeI understand the sentiment but the one thing for me that keeps me going is my kids. I wouldn’t trade them for the world. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/08/24 03:36 AM |
| 5 | I've been separated with no agreement for 5 years My ex just informed me she's not bringing my kid back after having him for a week for the summer and that she's filing papers for custody and registered him at a school in her county.Typically the fact that you’ve had an established routine for 5 years will play in your favor. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/08/24 02:23 AM |

| 6 | We haven't officially started the divorce process yet, but we will be soon. The problem is, when we're out doing events together as a "family," I have to deal with her checking out other men right in front of me. How do I handle this? I find it very disrespectful.Check out other women. Work on yourself. Get in shape. Make sure other women are checking you out in front of her. My stbxw and I took the kids to a pool party together a few weekends ago. I’ve lost 45 pounds and build the best body of my life. Other women were looking and I noticed her noticing and it was driving her crazy… I’m not the least bit sorry for being petty and taking immense joy from that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/08/24 01:21 AM |
| 1 | Negotiating temp custody schedule with narcissistMy lawyer told me to just take the kids. My stbxw initially refused to let me have any over nights. We had to go to court to get a temp order. Will likely have to do the same to get the permanent order as well. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/08/24 01:11 AM |
| 6 | I figured out that the divorce really is my fault but it’s not what I thought it would be. A lesson learnedYup. Boundaries were huge in leading to our divorce. As soon as I put them in place, wham. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/08/24 12:22 AM |

| 1 | Wife wants a Divorce While I am Deployed.Im not sure how this would work while deployed, but talk to your CO, you’re not the first service member. More often than not, in situations like this Jody is already in the picture. They do this shit while your deployed because it gives them more control and it’s easier for them to justify unequal custody. You need a lawyer. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/08/24 01:49 PM |
| 3 | Did you ever consider the possibility of divorce at the beginning of your marriage?No. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/07/24 08:08 PM |

| 1 | My wife said she wanted a divorce while I was in the ICU recovering from a suicide attemptSince separating (divorce finalizing in about a month) both my mental and physical health are at an all time high. It takes some time to find that but it s there. Focus on you and on healing. I still mourn at times what should have been but I am happier. Don’t worry about anything other than making you better and everything else will follow. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/07/24 03:35 AM |
| 12 | The best financial decision a woman can make in her life is marriage followed by divorce“I said biiiiiiiiitttttcccchhhhhh” | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/07/24 03:28 AM |
| 8 | I just wonder whether the unfortunate calamity of divorce unlocked some superman powers or traits within you, O fellow divorced men!I’ve been on a fitness journey and have the best physique of my life at 36, even my daughters teacher gave me a compliment yesterday about looking 10 years younger and this last weekend at a kids pool birthday party other moms were checking me out in front of my Ex. I’ve also been able to focus on my business without her negativity and will have the best financial year of my life. I’m able to do activities with the kids that she never approved of and enjoy making memories. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/07/24 12:34 AM |

| 6 | Alimony For a working spouse that has her MASTERS Degree.Honestly, on $500 a month Child Support is nothing. You can get a lawyer and try tonight it but half of 80k is only $40k after lawyer fees and who knows what is that going to be worth it given your over all income. By all means fight for what your due but also consider the added stress and emotional toll | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/07/24 11:07 AM |
| 1 | Is 10 years the lucky number?10 years for us | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/07/24 11:55 AM |
| 9 | Narcissism seems to be the new buzzword today. Did or are you dealing with that in your present or past divorce?My STBX threw that diagnostics around way to much and she was a therapist. At times our lives in a certain situations we are all narcissistic tendencies, or anxiety or depression. That doesn’t mean it justifies the clinical diagnosis. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/07/24 09:15 PM |
| 7 | Is-it-true-women-divorce-men-just-to-get-alimony-Are-men-not-people-Why-do-women-not-care-about-menI think in most situations women are a bit delusional in what they are entitled to finically, while when it comes to child custody courts still tend to favor the mother when it comes to assets and alimony most situations seem to be much more equitable. Sure if the wife was a SAHM she’s probably going to get alimony but if she worked and contributed to the household finances it seems a lot less common. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/07/24 01:05 AM |

| 1 | Single dads, did you consider having an Au Pair ?We had a full time Nanny while still together which drove me crazy, super expensive. STBXW didn’t want to let the nanny go even free I was laid off. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/05/24 07:39 PM |
| 1 | Why does everyone call their ex a narcissist?It’s a term that used way too liberally. My ex accused me of it and while I see some of those traits in her I refrain from diagnosing anyone. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/05/24 11:43 PM |

| 1 | It’s official. DivorceMines all Child Support based off the calculator in NC. Luckily it should drop significantly once the permanent custody is in place she made all sort of claims about alcohol abuse so I have to jump through a few hoops for 9 months. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/05/24 01:08 PM |

| 2 | Is perpetual alimony a thing? If so, is it likely for marriages under 10 years with no kids? How long has your alimony payment been?It’s going to depend widely from state to state and case by case. Alimony is still very much a thing but it’s decreasing and less likely if both spouses worked during the marriage and had relatively similar levels of financial contributions. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/05/24 02:58 PM |

| 2 | It’s never enough for them…I big factor on the amount is my daughter’s daycare she has less than 2 years left once that the worksheet has the obligation getting cut in half. What bothers me is how vindictive and litigious she’s being. Before I was willing to let her keep the house. But getting those papers severed was the straw that broke the camels back. The house has 500k in equity and I’m going after every cent I’m due. I didn’t want to disrupt the kids lives any more than necessary but she’s playing stupid games now a… | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/05/24 11:29 PM |
| 1 | It’s never enough for them…We got the temporary custody court ordered, the court would go by the worksheet for CS most likely. Other than the issues regarding the kids we have to wait until we file for assets unless she agrees to mediation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/05/24 11:25 PM |
| 0 | It’s never enough for them…I tried. Went back and forth with lawyers. Went to mediation, she refused any compromise. She’d rather see it all burn in court cost. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/05/24 11:18 PM |
