| 2 | Wife cheated, getting divorced and have a moral question.I get what everyone else is saying, but I found out that someone knew my wife was having an affair and didn't tell me, and I fucking hate them for it. It is shitty to watch another human's life be ruined and to let the joke be on them. You think you're embarrassed? Imagine finding out other people knew and viewed you as a cuck the whole time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/05/24 03:14 PM |
| 3 | The Pain of Hearing Your ChildrenI use it to my advantage. They cry for mom and say they miss her, I say I miss her too. I let them know that she's welcome to come home any time, but that she won't let me come visit them when they're with her. I want them to grow up and know she is to blame for all the lost time. She chose not to be there and prevented me from being there. They lost time with us because of her and her alone. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/05/24 08:05 PM |

| 3 | School Functions with Ex Wife"Stupid Cheating Whore" in mine. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/05/24 07:33 PM |
| 4 | Did anyone feel different after you reached the finish line?I did. It was a big relief when the judgment came down, especially since it involved custody of my kids. Nothing more to fear. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/05/24 06:57 PM |
| 7 | School Functions with Ex WifeI agree. I went to register my daughter for kindergarten and her mom showed up. It was the first time we'd spent any time in a room other than a court in years. I accidentally called her "babe" to get her attention. I literally went home and threw up from the stress of it all, because I want to kiss her and then knock her teeth out. The emotional turmoil is sickening. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/05/24 06:24 PM |

| 2 | House appraisal todayI've been in that same situation, brother. I still am sometimes. My ex came to Kindergarten registration recently for my daughter. She and I sat there and had to act like nothing was wrong for several hours. It was hell and very embarrassing because it was still obvious we weren't together and didn't want the other there. Every muscle in my body was telling me to hug her. I was literally sweating by the time we left and I just sped away and left her in the parking lot.

| 1 | Divorce has been final for months, I won, but I'm still not at peace.I feel that. My MIL began having an affair so she convinced my wife to as well because I had hit a rough patch with jobs and my earning capacity. Since she left, I got a job with the city and got my VA benefits upgraded, so now I earn more than I ever did while she was here. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/04/24 04:00 PM |
| 1 | Divorce has been final for months, I won, but I'm still not at peace.She's starting to settle into the appropriate level of submission toward me since I now control the kids' schedules and will be the parent responsible for their extracurriculars and handling their school and medical affairs. But she is still clinging to the idea that she'll be more active in their lives than she really will be. She moved to the other side of the state to continue her affair. She isn't going to be at the soccer games or parents teacher conferences or doctor appointments. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/04/24 03:59 PM |
| 2 | Divorce has been final for months, I won, but I'm still not at peace.Six years, but that wasn't a factor. She moved hours away and had nothing of her own. She didn't want the house, and made lots of other mistakes in court like admitting to her affair and admitting she wants to take my money doesn't care about the kids. She even said she didn't care if I ended up homeless and demanded forced sale of the house. Judge was livid. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/04/24 07:01 PM |
| 2 | Divorce has been final for months, I won, but I'm still not at peace.Judge was compassionate and hates cheaters. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/04/24 06:59 PM |
| 6 | Divorce has been final for months, I won, but I'm still not at peace.I guess I'm just in a phase of recovery after the divorce that more of the positive memories are coming back now, and I'm not avoiding them anymore, so I'm now mourning those thing I wouldn't let myself grieve before. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/04/24 06:32 PM |
| 15 | Divorce has been final for months, I won, but I'm still not at peace.He was a coworker of her mother's. My MIL actually deliberately set them up and told my wife to have an affair and divorce me. I hate him because he knew we were married, he knew we had children who relied on us providing them with stability, and he still came in and destroyed it all. Of course she is even more to blame, but he deserves a slow, painful death. Mom fought hard. She just couldn't beat me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/04/24 06:11 PM |
| 2 | Divorce has been final for months, I won, but I'm still not at peace.The backstory is she had an affair and I want to murder him. To make matters worse, I have PTSD from something that happened in the military involving getting arrested, so when I have nightmares about these things they really mess me up. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/04/24 06:00 PM |

| 2 | I’m the cheater…my storyThat's just it. As men, we don't like to feel victimized. Women are better at capitalizing on it. The justice system doles out justice. Who gets justice? Criminals and victims. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/04/24 07:03 PM |
| 3 | I’m the cheater…my storyAnd that's something I noticed going through my divorce. The judge didn't care about gender as much as she did victimhood. I didn't stand tall and act like a strong capable man, I showed the truth that I loved my wife and my family and didn't want this. The judge reamed my ex and gave me everything. Women win because they're usually the victims. Obviously that is not always the case, and I definitely had a more challenging battle winning custody than she would have, but I think victimhood needs … | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/04/24 09:14 PM |

| 3 | How do you cope with the lack of affection?Rub one out and get on with my life. I hate it but it works. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/04/24 04:08 PM |
| 2 | CONTROLLING THE HATEHate and anger are valid emotions. Their purpose is to inspire change and build protective barriers in you. You shouldn't try to control them, but also don't let them control you either. It is hard at first, but it does fade. Let the anger strengthen your resolve, then breathe it out. You aren't better than those you hate (and therefor your anger is not righteous) if you allow anger to control your actions. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/04/24 04:17 PM |
| 1 | Just discovered my ex-wife, who cheated and destroyed our marriage, is committing fraud. Do I report it or pocket it for later?Fortunately, she is beyond the ability to make those accusations. They would have needed to be made during the divorce proceedings, and our judge event made the outright statement that she would not tolerate any future accusations from either of us. She was a very smart judge. She knew my ex would be very angry at her ruling, so she snuffed out her future accusations before she could make them. She is already searching for ways to destroy me and take my kids. She tried before and failed. I prove… | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/04/24 08:58 PM |
| 2 | Just discovered my ex-wife, who cheated and destroyed our marriage, is committing fraud. Do I report it or pocket it for later?No one thinks it would be sweet revenge for the hell they put us through? This woman bade me end my life because she wanted me out of her way. Sure, success is the best revenge, but isn't a little justice warranted sometimes too? | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/24 04:53 AM |
| 3 | Just discovered my ex-wife, who cheated and destroyed our marriage, is committing fraud. Do I report it or pocket it for later?You're right, I don't get CS sadly, but I am the primary.

| 1 | Panic attacks/depressionInderal. Ask your doctor. It helps in a tight spot when you can't escape and go calm down, like at work. It's a beta blocker, so as long as you don't have blood pressure issues your doctor should give it to you or recommend a psychiatrist who will. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/04/24 03:32 PM |

| 2 | Immediately after she left, my income doubled.Same! Love it. I started up my depression meds the day she told me she wanted to leave. It obviously didn't matter, since she was having an affair, but I knew I would need to be on them in the coming months. I was right. They definitely saved my life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/04/24 04:22 PM |
| 10 | Online datingThey aren't trying to "woo" anyone. They don't believe they have to. That's why so many of them won't even write a bio and just, "If we match you'll find out" implying they expect you to swipe on them despite knowing nothing about them. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/04/24 04:47 PM |

| 5 | It’s All DoneYou deserve to celebrate surviving it, mate. Mine wasn't as bad as yours, but it took two years and I nearly killed myself several times. I wasn't celebrating winning custody, or being divorced, I was celebrating surviving the worst hell of my life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/03/24 04:21 PM |

| 1 | House Buyout NumbersI'm not sure you have a say. The judge will look at your marital resources and decide what's healthiest and fair. My ex told the judge that it was "In my best interest for me to sell the house." Referring to me, of course. Yes. It's in my best interest to be homeless. Thanks. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/03/24 05:31 PM |
| 12 | I never want to do this again.Right I was gentle about it. She's learned to weaponize love recently since the divorce became final. I suspect Mom isn't abiding by the "no negative talk about the other parent" rule. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/03/24 05:29 PM |
| 36 | I never want to do this again.My daughter told me last night she wanted me to make more money so I could buy her more toys and then she'll love me more. She said she wouldn't love me if I didn't have any money. She's five, but it still hurt. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/03/24 04:52 PM |
| 1 | House Buyout NumbersAnd when she can't, the courts will force the sale. Or they can keep you on the deed and she has to give you half the equity when she sells and it appreciates. You're in good shape. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/03/24 03:06 PM |

| 5 | (NJ) Wife disappeared end of October. Found her and served Divorce papers. They are countering I pay for counsel and any other support court deems equitable. Claims she's unable to support herself. Will she win? Marriage less than 2 yearsDoubtful. Most people don't get lawyer fees unless the court has preestablished what would cause that. You're allowed to divorce someone without having to pay for their attorney. That would make it too difficult for poor people to get divorced. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/03/24 08:52 PM |
| 10 | I'm dumb...Hey I did the same thing. Luckily, it doesn't matter. Just wait till you're served and hire your own. I recommend hiring one with a history of beating her lawyer. Mine was coincidence (or God) but I happened to hire the best in my city and she hired probably the worst. Mine wiped the floor with hers. My ex hired her because she was an outspoken misandrist, so she figured she'd fight more passionately. Really it just meant she allowed her emotions to cloud her judgment. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/03/24 07:12 PM |
| 1 | Sincerely confused, where is the line between parenting my child and "emotional abuse"?Now in middle school, but taking AP high school classes for college credit with 4.0 GPA. Your kid is gifted and clearly in good hands. All women claim men are manipulative. I'll go out on a limb here and say your kid get's her smarts from you, so I can conceive that Mom needed to be "manipulated" sometimes. My situation is the exact same.

They didn't ask to be brought into this world. They will suffer from the divorce too, but the difference is they will carry it their whole lives. It will shape them more dramatically than it will shape you. Your wife is a selfish monster for breaking up the family, especially with kids that young.

| 2 | Was it a celebration or relief?Little of both. I was definitely relieved, but I wanted to celebrate my surviving the ordeal. I literally almost didn't, plus I got primary custody, so I went out with friends that night.

| 9 | Karma Finally got herMe too, man. I want to see it happen in real time and know it's because of what she did to me. I won primary custody of our kids, so that's at least some justice. Plus, after she left, I got a huge raise too and make way more money so that's also a good one to throw in her face. I just need her to go through hell because of her AP. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/02/24 11:54 PM |

I was there, others here have been there. We can all tell you that it hurts like hell at first but it does slowly taper off.

It is a religious institution that the government decided was a convenient way to calculate taxes. Now that it's no longer religious for many people, it serves zero purpose, especially when divorce is heavily biased against one side. It isn't "unrealistic" and it definitely "counts."

| 3 | It’s sad…She will. She will hit the wall like they all do and remember how good she had it. I'm waiting for it to but I know it's coming. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/24 12:33 AM |
| 12 | It’s sad…I'm right there with you, buddy. I truly believed this was forever. I thought we'd fight through anything together. My parents got divorced and I so badly did not want that for me or my kids. I still can't look at our engagement or wedding photos without crying, and it's been almost two years since she left. I miss the person I was. So much lost innocence. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/01/24 10:22 PM |
| 1 | Yesterday was our final trial. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders.I did what my lawyer told me to do in the moment. She knew what she was doing. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/12/23 06:53 PM |
| 1 | Heading to meet an attorney thatCourts tend to consider the health of the parents, especially with younger kids like yours. That will not bode in your favor, sadly. However, explaining that you are terminal and want to spend as much time with your kids as possible at the end makes sense and should be agreed by the court. Your wife is a cunt. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/12/23 07:03 PM |
| 3 | Yesterday was our final trial. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders.I agree, but it was at my lawyers recommendation. Opposing counsel was clearly much more concerned with money and asset division than custody. The child support would have been negligible anyway. Like $200. So we offered to forgo it completely if it helped mom afford to move back to where I live, since she moved 180 miles away and claimed she couldn't afford to live anywhere else. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/12/23 09:00 PM |
| 2 | Yesterday was our final trial. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders.She moved ungodly far away and wanted to take the kids from me. She couldn't understand why she couldn't take the kids and just run away. After all, they're her kids, right? She genuinely did not think I should get any consideration in matters concerning my own children. That she should be able to leave, take all my money and my kids, and go be with someone else whenever she wants. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/12/23 07:02 PM |
| 1 | Yesterday was our final trial. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders.So far I've paid my lawyer about $12k. I will owe her more soon, I'm sure. $300/hr and 8 hours yesterday. Insane. Equalization will be maybe $10k. Professional witnesses were $1250. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/12/23 07:00 PM |
| 2 | Yesterday was our final trial. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders.I hate that for you. Mine was 8 hours in the court room yesterday, which sucked, but it's over. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/12/23 06:56 PM |
| 4 | Yesterday was our final trial. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders.Mine has taken 18 months. After the judgement, probably 20. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/12/23 06:34 PM |
| 7 | Yesterday was our final trial. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders.Judges sometimes take certain cases "under advisement" to really comb over the details of the case before making a ruling. With it being the holidays, it will take even longer. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/12/23 06:25 PM |
| 2 | Who has gone to a female therapist during divorce and what was your exoerience like?I did, and I ultimately switched to a male provider and like him better. I needed a safe space to discuss some anger I had toward the negative societal norms that women adhere to. It helped. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/12/23 06:41 PM |
| 4 | What can I use my money on?Just don't go making big purchases. I moved $16k into an account to keep her from stealing it and no one cared. I had to agree not to spend it basically. Buy what you need to survive and try not to splurge on anything too expensive. They aren't even considering any money I now have, so after the divorce is filed it might draw the line in your state . | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/12/23 06:46 PM |
| 4 | Scared. What happens next?Don't do anything until you are calm. Trust me, I made that mistake through this whole process and it created hurdles for my lawyer. Definitely go to the gym. It will help in more ways than you know. If you're hell bent on divorcing, steel yourself for a tough fight. Stay in the home and do not leave. Research the grey rock approach. Make certain you never, ever give her any chance to call the police on you and accuse you of rape or DV. Film everything. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/12/23 06:39 PM |
| 3 | They really are delusional....Where the hell is glamour shots still operating? | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/12/23 05:07 PM |
| 6 | AmicableSure. If you're capable then do it. There's no benefit to being unamicable... Respond with the level of aggression needed to counter hers. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/23 07:11 PM |
| 1 | Costs?I'm at $12k right now before buying the ex out. Looking at a $10k equalization payment to her, but I'll be getting child support, so I'll get it right back in a year. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/23 06:24 PM |
| 12 | How many of you have had an amicable divorce?Fuck no. She tried to trick me into having aggressive sex with her because she knew the cops were already on the way. She planned on them kicking the door down to find us in bed and her crying rape. Jokes on her, I came faster than the cops did. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/23 06:19 PM |
| 3 | So my wife wants to buy me outGet an appraisal. My ex wants me to buy her out, and she tried quoting me a massive jump in value of the home. I got an appraisal and learned the house is worth less than we bought it for and I won't owe her shit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/23 05:37 PM |
| 1 | The forgive your ex crap really pisses me offI'm on the same page as you, but I guess people say it because forgiveness is like a self-healing thing. It's like closure for your own sake. My dad cheated on my mom and left us. She tells me that it hit her one day that she no longer felt any animosity towards him at all, and that's when she knew she'd healed. She says it helped her feel at peace. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/23 05:35 PM |
| 5 | Anger turning into bitternessHow long have you been separated? After 18 months I'm starting to feel better. I have had a good time of reinventing myself. Making my life my own. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 10:29 PM |
| 2 | Best piece of advice for a man going through divorceOof. That's awful. I've said way worse things than that. Hope that doesn't come back to haunt me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 10:28 PM |
| 27 | STBX sending mixed signalsShe is just scared and doesn't want to feel like she's going to regret this. Don't let her keep you in her pocket as a backup. If you're not her first choice, why would you want her? | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 09:42 PM |
| 3 | Preparing for DivorceIt might not matter when you file. This stuff takes years. I'm 18 months into mine now and it's just now coming to a close. I graduated college and got into a whole other one since she left. I got a full ride, so that doesn't factor in, but time-wise she could do it before the divorce is final no matter who files. But, shit, let her improve her earning potential. Less you'll have to pay. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 09:05 PM |
| 10 | Best piece of advice for a man going through divorceThis one for sure. I let myself get wasted right after she left and I sent a regrettable text that is now going to be used against me in court. Alcohol is the enemy. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 08:27 PM |
| 12 | 21K Subscribers!Sad that the number is growing, but I'm glad those people have found their way here for support. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 08:26 PM |
| 2 | Served via mailAre you worried you'll have to sell to buy her out? Cause I got my house appraised recently and it came back lower than I paid for it. Might be a good time to get on, unless you think it will get worse before it gets better. I found this In my state, if you don't respond by a certain time, the judgement defaults against you. Typically your lawyer would accept service on your behalf. Do you not have a lawyer yet? | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 08:25 PM |
| 21 | Do you Wonder if She Thinks of You?I think about it a lot. I have to believe that this wasn't as easy for her as she has made it seem, but the truth is, it was easy for her. She left because she was done. She cheated and moved in with him immediately. I'm sad because I'm alone. She isn't alone. She doesn't think of me fondly anymore at all. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 07:46 PM |
| 5 | Preparing for DivorceWhy would applying for college affect things? I doubt it will change things. She'd have to already have the debt. Yeah, if you're going to get divorced then go ahead and file. Just stay in the house if you want to keep it. If you move out, a judge can make you pay the mortgage still, regardless of new expenses. Plus it can incentivize her to speed things up or leave. I did some financial fuckery and it didn't hurt me. I moved all assets into a separate account she couldn't touch. Left her comple… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 07:45 PM |
| 3 | I am so tired.I started really relying on smart home tech to help me with the logistical stuff. My Alexas handle my grocery list, my reminders, everything. I do all my grocery shopping via walmart pickup to minimize the time spent on it. I handle almost all of my business via email so I can prioritize meetings. Doc appointments can be done remotely a lot of the time now. It's very efficient. Cleaning is tougher, but with practice, I've gotten to where I just clean as I go and it's always in an acceptable stat… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 06:23 PM |
| 2 | I am so tired.My kids are young, and being a single dad even half the time has been hard. I'm likely going to get primary custody here in a few weeks. Sometimes I ask myself, "Geez do I really want this all the time?" But the answer is, no, I don't. I don't want to be a full-time, single dad. I want to be a husband and share the load with my wife. But that's not an option anymore, so Ill take the next best option. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 06:19 PM |
| 4 | Do you think divorce is contageius?I think it's just too easy. It doesn't demand accountability and no longer bears shame. Divorce is so normalized that people will soon be able to buy one at walmart. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 06:15 PM |
| 1 | Post Divorce final updateHm. Interesting take. I didn't factor in sale costs when I did my math. I don't think the judge would let me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 06:00 PM |
| 2 | Ex Called to Meet UpAnd, sadly, it's a lesson that cannot be taught by words. You have to experience divorce to truly understand the trap you've been in all along. People in love won't listen to that truth no matter what you do. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/12/23 05:59 PM |
| 11 | Wife having affair with woman, need adviceCalling DCF? I don't know what DCF is, but if she's threatening it you need to protect yourself. Seemingly in more ways than one. Your wife is sick and you need to do what's healthy here, as she's trying to destroy you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/12/23 09:06 PM |
| 1 | Post Divorce final updateYou factored in the sale for her share and then didn't sell it? I'm curious why she accepted that. If the expense of a realtor wasn't actually involved, why would she let you factor it in? | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/12/23 08:19 PM |

| 1 | Men with shared custody watch your language.Yeah that's my one problem. I've got this divorce in the bag and I'm going to win custody and CS, but I couldn't keep the vitriol out of the texts so now I get to defend my character. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/12/23 08:16 PM |
| 1 | Should I move 1 block away from my ex-wife for easier co-parenting?It definitely has some pros and cons. Would it bother you to see her with another man? To see another man playing with your kids? Would it start drama if she saw you with another woman? You are living two different lives now. You deserve privacy from one another. You might pass her on the street a lot. But the kids will be a lot better off, I think. They can have a centralized "home" where their friends are and their lives are. They won't have to go through custody transfers. Heck, there wouldn'… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/12/23 06:53 PM |
| 1 | Ex Called to Meet UpThere are literally no other options. It is 100% one of these. My money is on number 2. She fucked around and realized that she was romanticizing a life she didn't actually want. My ex-wife did that to me while we were dating. Cheated, left me, then showed up crying at my door one day begging me for another chance. My dumb ass married that woman. Of course, she did it again. Don't do it, OP. Don't Do It. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/12/23 06:46 PM |
| 5 | I'm not strong enough for thisYou've lost that innocence. We lose it slowly and in different ways as we grow up. Losing her made me realize that love is not what I thought it was. People don't stay by your side through tough times anymore. It's an ugly and painful part of a man's life when he realizes he's actually alone in this world. I'm 18 months in. I thought that I was very much going to lose my battle, but I haven't yet, and I'm so happy I didn't give up.

I don't know why, I just didn't feel anything for him. He was 1 when she left, so I had no choice but to change diapers and play with him. I'm so glad for it. He's my best little buddy in the world.

| 1 | Online dating and revealing you’re divorced?Okay but she's pretty based. And she's giving valuable information to OP in this case. Except for "My own personal view is that most men suck at relationship skills compared to women, and the good ones are taken, so I’m always going to assume that a man was the bad partner unless proven otherwise. From there it’s a matter of assessing where you broke down as a partner and if I can tolerate it." | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/12/23 09:14 PM |

| 1 | Male judge for my caseI'm thinking that is the case for me, too. My wife admitted to having an affair and not being willing to stay for the kids, and that "as a woman I can't make enough to survive" and that she wants me to pay her to stay home with the kids 24/7. Imagine telling that to a hard working woman who became a judge. Plus I'm sure she sees lots of dead beat dads who don't fight and don't deserve their kids, so when a clean-cut guy with a solid job and a home comes in fighting for the kids, I think that loo… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/12/23 09:11 PM |
