| 9 | Wife wants a divorce because of infidelity 12 years ago in previous marriage?Women tend to know years in advance they're going to divorce, then pull the trigger when they feel the time is now right. Your wife has been waiting in the shadows for who knows how long, waiting for you to mess-up, get in a huge fight, smoke you out by witholding sex, lose a job etc.. Sounds like you haven't. So...she'll use this thing with your ex Instead. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/01/25 07:02 PM |
| 1 | For recently divorced menYour comments seem pretty reasonable. Open to change but understanding life isnt a movie. Sometimes things just dont get better. And in a divorce, Someone is always left behind to pay the bill. Im 5 years divorced too. I'd imagine if things aren't better for you/us in another 4 or 5 years they probably won't get better. But hey, here's hoping we get our mojo back one day. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/01/25 02:13 AM |
| 1 | For recently divorced menHow long have you been divorced? Or are you officially not divorced yet? | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/01/25 01:59 AM |
| 11 | Comparing progress with exIf no kids, you should never see or talk to her again for the rest of your life. I mean ever. Dont be her back-up plan. She wants the divorce, fucking give it to her. A lot of women who initiate divorce tend to know years in advance. Am I implying she knew when she got married she was going to divorce you? Yeah probably. They consider marriage an at-will situation so, it would be no water off her back to marry thinking that. It's not uncommon to marry and/or divorce just because their girl frien… | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/01/25 01:25 AM |
| 13 | She PlottedThe hill I will die on until the end of my days is that women know years in advance they're going to divorce. You say at least two. I'll be honest my man, with a military retirement she could have known a decade ago. Again, they know this shit for a long time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/01/25 01:28 AM |
| 2 | I am struggling to get by. I got a job offer to work as a contractor at Facebook. I could pick Miami, Austin or Atlanta. My son lives in Orlando, which office should I pick?Of course! It might not seem like it but you're not alone. We all went through it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/01/25 09:29 PM |
| 1 | I am struggling to get by. I got a job offer to work as a contractor at Facebook. I could pick Miami, Austin or Atlanta. My son lives in Orlando, which office should I pick?I bet you'll like it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/01/25 09:23 PM |
| 2 | I am struggling to get by. I got a job offer to work as a contractor at Facebook. I could pick Miami, Austin or Atlanta. My son lives in Orlando, which office should I pick?Cheaper and cooler than Miami, that's for sure. Although maybe not that much cooler in the summer months. I'd live there if I got the chance. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/01/25 09:06 PM |
| 2 | I am struggling to get by. I got a job offer to work as a contractor at Facebook. I could pick Miami, Austin or Atlanta. My son lives in Orlando, which office should I pick?With stuff like this, I'd always pick what makes you the most excited and happy. Ironically, it will put you in a way better position to help your son for the long term. Plenty of ways to be a good father and live farther away. My dad spent 15 years ten minutes from me when I was a kid and Id go years without seeing or talking to him. 🤷 | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/01/25 02:57 PM |
| 4 | Anyone leave for these reasons?Sounds like she's picking fights to sabotage the marriage. If you're a decent guy she might realize you're not gonna give her a silver bullet for divorce. So..they'll resort to this. They'll stay at it for a year, two, five whatever. Until they can go "wow look at how much we now fight, I'm exasperated my only choice is to divorce" | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/01/25 09:58 PM |
| 8 | Would it help our separation if I got my wife something for Valentine’s Day?She wants to divorce you and you want to buy her flowers professing your love? No dude. Don't do that. She wants the divorce, give it to her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/01/25 09:56 PM |
| 1 | Did you cheat on your wife leading to divorce?Your ex is living with and having sex with another guy on the reg and you think you dating is cheating? She's not coming back dude. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/01/25 04:42 PM |
| 0 | Did you cheat on your wife leading to divorce?If you want to date...then date. I waited a year after seperation to "heal" and it was moronic. Move on with your life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/01/25 03:34 PM |
| 1 | Did you cheat on your wife leading to divorce?Same boat. Didn't cheat, wish I would have all things considered. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/01/25 03:22 PM |
| 2 | KARMA! Is it real?Like To bring justice for stuff in the world? No. In the context of divorce, there's a few things to realize. They'll get bored of the next guy too. Sure as the sun will rise. Regardless of if they stay with him. The looks will fade too. I think once the looks fade, once the thrill of divorce (yes, women get a thrill out of it a lot of time) fades...their lives really don't end up a whole lot different than ours. And who knows...maybe years and years from now, when theyre no longer a pretty face… | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/25 02:10 AM |
| 3 | "You should be over it by now"I would disagree. He admits he's still staring at her because she's "beautiful" at the party and it's been years. OP needs to emotionally kick her off the pedestal yesterday. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/12/24 03:13 PM |
| 2 | "You should be over it by now"It's been years though for OP. Not just 3 months. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/12/24 03:08 PM |
| 12 | "You should be over it by now"She makes fun of you to her friends. She was excited to be on the dating apps after you split. She liked cheating. We need to stop pretending otherwise my man. Why would you give your adoration to someone like that? | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/12/24 03:07 PM |
| 10 | Losing hope. How to rebound?As the prospect of reconciliation seems doomed". If I'm reading this right, here's the very 1st thing I would do. Make it very clear to her you know its over, and you will be acting as such. Then act like it. I've seen guys post on here "it's been 14 months seperated and she flirted with me the other day, should I try again?" Don't be that guy. Your four months into this. It's over. Don't let her breadcrumbs you romantically any longer. She wants to divorce you. She's excited to get on tinder. S… | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/12/24 05:15 PM |
| 1 | Feeling Depressed"Questioning if this is the right path". Did you initiate the divorce? | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/12/24 04:18 PM |
| 2 | Why do they think they are never wrong?I've got a friend that's Brazilian, and we go to movies together. And every time we get a scene/plot that shits on men/how dumb useless men are/how flawless women are, one of us will say to each other "homem lixo, mulher perfeita". Which is a poorly worded way of saying "man trash. Woman perfect". I think once you see it you can never unsee it. And hey, maybe back in the 50s or some shit it was reversed. I get there is a pendulum with gender wars for sure. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/12/24 10:11 PM |
| -1 | Leaving my pregnant wifeThis isn't 1972. Women for decades have seen marriage as an at-will situation. Men need to adapt and accept what reality now is. Him dying on his sword will not produce better outcomes for himself. He wants to divorce, then he should. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/24 07:51 PM |
| 16 | The Positives of Divorce?Not dad related but...a women can spend years with a guy knowing the entire time they'll divorce. Like I'm talking years As Cormac McCarthy said "you'll never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from". Guys post on here all the time: "shit, it all went wrong so fast and she left, maybe if we'd only had 2 things go wrong instead of 5 we'd still be together." Yeah maybe ..and then the wife leaves a decade later anyway. And while she's walking out the door hits you with the: "it was ju… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/12/24 08:21 PM |
| 12 | Hit with Papers and DrowningI'm more pessimistic than most maybe, as im sure my wife knew before we even got married she'd divorce. But we weren't married 21 years like you OP. With a military pension on the table? Shit , she could have known ten years ago she was going to divorce you. She probably told a few family members or friends years ago about the plan. It's a long-con You're not the first, you won't be the last. 9 year relationship for me, 5 year marriage. I came home a few weeks after we got her greencard in the m… | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/12/24 04:13 PM |
| 28 | Went overseas to date women... kind of stunned really.I speak Portuguese and Spanish. So interact with a lot of friends/acquaintances in those communities. I could name you at least 5 women I've met that divorced their husbands after getting their greencard. If you're a dude...just assume any single mom with younger kids and a woman needing immigration papers is using you and make decisions from that starting point. Probably save you a lot of trouble. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/12/24 05:29 PM |
| 13 | Is it just me?I don't think they actually believe this about their husbands. Let me explain. Some women act in bad faith in marriages to an extent that would shock most men. They play the long game and they play it masterfully. Women will stay with a guy for years knowing the entire time they're going to divorce. The worst one I know of personally Is 13 years( it was to get a military pension). I think women like this start early and build a long, long case to to "prove" that the marriage "just wasnt fixable"… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/12/24 03:29 AM |
| 3 | Divorce on the horizonYou seem to know this is coming but yes, women will 100% divorce a guy the moment theyre making more. It can be 5 cents an hour...it doesn't matter. "But but I made more than her the first 12 years!, and now she makes more in year 13". Irrelevant. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/12/24 09:51 PM |
| 7 | Separation = divorce?I took two paragraphs to say what you just did in one sentence. Lol. OP, this is the reason(s). | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/12/24 08:12 PM |
| 5 | Separation = divorce?One thing that's super common on here is men saying "well she said do X and Y, so I did, but then she divorced anyways". I'd bet dollars to donuts in the vast majority of those cases (not all, but most) that women throw out the ultimatum, the guy does what she wants, and then she goes: " well sonofabitch, he actually did do X and Y...ehh ill just divorce him anyways" | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/12/24 07:50 PM |
| 6 | Separation = divorce?"Trial" separation means 1. One of the spouses wants to have sex with other people as a "hall pass" then reconcile. 2. one of the spouses wants to divorce but would like to keep the other spouse as a plan B. Also be aware,women have no problem seperating...realizing she's not ready/kids arent old enough/she doesn't make enough money, then getting back together with the guy...waiting 5 years, then finally divorcing. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/12/24 07:36 PM |
| 7 | She pulled the plug while it was my weekend with the kidsYou have a duty to stay alive for your children. Your estranged wife is not your world. Your kids are. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/11/24 02:12 AM |
| 1 | Moved on in 10 days after 10 years.Oh, so she showed you everything to convince you it was after. Wow, I feel so much better now. /s I'm not going to argue with you, because that's not what this sub is for. But I didn't let me ex have that when she made it abundantly clear it was after too. They don't deserve us letting them off the hook to placate their guilt. It undermines our dignity. And I told her she wanst getting that at least. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/11/24 10:40 PM |
| 1 | Moved on in 10 days after 10 years.She is very much one of those individuals. And you need to accept that. She went for it before asking for the separation. I'd bet my life on it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/11/24 10:28 PM |
