| 9 | When did you know?For me, it was a really specific moment. I’d been begrudgingly dealing with the constant feeling of disappointment for years. One afternoon, I became absolutely hypnotised by a bee that was caught in a spider web in my conservatory. I watched the spider try, repeatedly, to wrap the bee in its web. I watched the bee struggling against the thread, and I watched their fatal dance play out for about half an hour. The spider was deftly trying to avoid the sting of the bee, the bee was fighting agains… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/08/25 06:23 PM |
| 5 | Getting a roommate after divorce?I did when I moved out of my marriage home. I thought that some companionship and somebody to share the financial strain of having to start from scratch was a smart idea. I massively regretted it almost instantly. The guy I lived with, a friend of mine for about 10 years at that point, proved to be a dirty, lazy, thieving, irresponsible little cunt. He regularly helped himself to anything and everything in the kitchen, drank a £300 bottle of whisky that I’d been given for my 30th and hadn’t open… | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/07/25 05:18 PM |
| 7 | Marriage is DeadAh, man. That sucks. My situation is kind of similar. We separated about 3 years ago but things actually seemed to improve for a while, and living separately seemed to make things better. After Christmas, wife dropped the ‘yeah, this isn’t working’ shit again and we’re pulling the trigger on the divorce. Basically, any romantic feelings are dead. I’m inclined to agree with her but it’s still making me sad. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/03/25 05:58 PM |
| 1 | Anyone walk away from the dogs in a divorce?Ex got the dogs and cats. Fucking sucks, but it’s the fairest thing for the dogs because she’s got the time to walk them. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/03/25 08:42 PM |
| 3 | The Last BastionWait … there’s porn on Reddit!? | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/03/25 08:33 AM |
| 14 | Do I visit my dying Ex-wife?The fact that you say, “TBH I actually wanted to see her since she was part of my life for 7 years and I truly did love her” is all the answer you need. Yes, there are emotional risks involved. But this is your chance to make peace, and I think it’s an opportunity that, once missed, is one that you may regret not taking. I would go and say my goodbyes. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/25 02:03 PM |
| 0 | What did you do with the engagement ring she left behind?It’s in a river. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/03/25 06:04 PM |
| 3 | Anyone here who has been divorced for 3+ years, haven’t been in a serious or even casual relationship since, and still feel miserable?Separated in late 2021, tried counselling, tried dating each other again, and ended up back where I was in late 2021. If I’m honest, I’m mentally not ready for another relationship. The thought of it makes me feel uncomfortable - I don’t think I’d be a good relationship partner for anybody at the moment. I’m just holding onto the hope that, when I’m ready, I’ll know and it’ll happen. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/03/25 01:59 PM |
| 6 | Ran into my ex and her partner todayWonderful stuff! Moving on is a beautiful feeling, man. 👊🏻 You’re nailing it! | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/09/24 05:16 PM |
| 1 | Has anyone here divorced someone they still loved? (TW - mentions of suicide)Nice one, mate. Sounds like you’re making massive, positive steps - particularly with the therapy. I know it’s sometimes hard to open up to people, but once I’d got past that, my experience of therapy really sorted my head out and helped immeasurably. Keep up the good work, man, and be proud of yourself for doing it. If you ever need to vent or feel like you need a chat, DM me. 👊🏻 | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/08/24 07:04 PM |
| 2 | Has anyone here divorced someone they still loved? (TW - mentions of suicide)Oh mate, that’s heartbreaking to hear. I’m sorry that your self esteem is so low, man, but you need to remind yourself two things: firstly, you’re worthy of being in a trusting relationship where your feelings matter. I know that low self-esteem and lack of confidence can make you feel otherwise, but you sound like a decent, hardworking and considerate bloke and, man, that’s worth reminding yourself daily. Just because you’re being taken for granted by someone doesn’t mean that you’re not worth … | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/08/24 05:23 PM |
| 3 | Has anyone here divorced someone they still loved? (TW - mentions of suicide)Not me … but a friend of mine. His wife cheated on him on a couple of one night stands while on a girl’s holiday. She tearfully confessed. He loved her, he forgave her. He married her. She cheated on him again, this time on a dating app / hook-up site … a friend of ours found her profile and showed him. Again, she confessed under duress and, again, he forgave her. Then, she had a long term affair with somebody she worked with. She left him. She broke up with her fling, and asked him back. Again,… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/08/24 04:51 PM |
| 3 | Social media etiquette during divorceI disabled all social media. For one, like you, I couldn’t stand looking at her. But, human nature being what it is, I couldn’t NOT look and every single fucking time it hurt a lot. My family would also send (what they assumed was welcome and supportive) advice which, if I’m honest, I hated. Getting rid of all of it helped. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/08/24 04:22 PM |
| 1 | Any of you gentlemen had random chat invites from dubious single women that happen to read this sub? Obvious scams, my first for my years on Reddit.No, I haven’t. And now I’m wondering why. 😒 | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/02/24 10:07 AM |
| 5 | Wife having an affairTotally understand your desire for revenge but there are really two painful outcomes: it won’t make you feel better about anything, and it won’t change what’s happened. The best course of action is to keep the moral high ground, be the better man, know that your wife has fallen for a complete piece of shit who’s happy to ruin a family, and believe that cunts like that get what they deserve in the end. I say all of this with complete sympathy, dude - what happened to you is shit but remember that… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/02/24 04:46 PM |
| 1 | What are some movies and songs that helped you self-reflect, better yourself, and move on with your life after divorce?Musically, the last QOTSA album helped me - particularly ’Emotion Sickness’. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/02/24 05:24 AM |
| 10 | After divorce, did you take the time to go through your entire photo album and social media accounts to delete pictures of your ex?Yep. I got rid of everything. In my phone’s camera roll, there are no photos between 2015 and now. 😒 | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/02/24 05:54 PM |
| 1 | I wished my kids would die today.I’m sorry you’re going through that, man. Sounds like you’re being truly fucked by the system here, as well as your ex. I hope shit sorts itself out for you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/02/24 01:04 AM |
| 1 | Anyone have a marriage fail due to wife being in a cult?I’m sure there are some well-run branches, and there are people who have benefited, but from my experience it’s just a sordid little grief hole where societies biggest losers encourage each other to fail alongside them: you can’t ever have a normal life because of the ‘responsibilities’ of the cult. In the case of my wife, who was very successful before she joined, the needs of the desperate fuck-ups that barnacled onto her did more significant damage than smoking a bit of weed, at least in term… | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/02/24 06:02 PM |
| 1 | Anyone have a marriage fail due to wife being in a cult?Yep. The way they’re encouraged to only confide in each other is, basically, cancer to a marriage and tantamount to emotional cheating. A room full of selfish, narcissistic assholes with poor impulse control and a history of bad choices = death to a healthy relationship. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/02/24 05:24 PM |
| 6 | Anyone have a marriage fail due to wife being in a cult?Well, sort of … My wife used to smoke a fair amount of weed when we were younger. To help quit, she joined NA. I’m not criticising the entire organisation as I’m sure they’ve helped a lot of people, but the local branches that my wife attended were/are run by a horrendous bunch of parasitic, narcissistic individuals who put so much strain on our marriage with their constant demands and ‘responsibilities’ that it became unbearable. Sponsors and sponsees calling at all hours day and night (once or… | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/02/24 11:06 AM |
| 3 | Wife tells me she wants to stay together before our divorce gets finalized.Honestly, no idea. I get exactly where you’re coming from, though. It’s a headfuck. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/02/24 03:36 PM |
| 12 | Wife tells me she wants to stay together before our divorce gets finalized.Mate, I’m suddenly in a really similar position. After three months of no contact, my wife messaged me in tears basically asking for the chance to reconcile through marriage counselling. I suggested this years ago but she wasn’t interested. Now I’m kind of torn about what to do. On one hand, I’m thinking that it can’t hurt to try. On the other hand, I had literally just got my head round to the fact that it was over (when I say ‘literally’, I mean it - I had finally made peace with the whole thi… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/02/24 03:07 PM |
| 5 | To spend now or wait?Yeah, that’s exactly what I did. When we separated I basically had to start from scratch. I started to acquire the essentials (bed, kettle, plates etc.) and actually found it quite therapeutic to pick nicer things - it felt like investing in a future for myself. Each month, I pick up something new. To be honest, you can usually get stuff from Facebook marketplace if you need to get essentials quite cheap, then replace them with better quality stuff when you’re able. I’m the same as you - renting… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/01/24 09:30 AM |
| 7 | Has anyone divorced due to lack of intimacy or sexual attraction?That’s more of a symptom than a problem. Lack of physical intimacy is a small part of a bigger issue, and is a sign that things aren’t right. There are ways to address this but cheating is absolutely not the right course of action. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/01/24 03:36 PM |
| 2 | When you know it's the best option but it still scares you to death.I’m a couple of months in and fucking terrified. Yeah, it’s for the best … but when the life you imagined suddenly vanishes, the open road ahead of you is pretty fucking scary. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/12/23 08:43 PM |
| 7 | Deck the halls with… yeah one of the worst weeks everAh, sorry buddy. That sounds shit. This Christmas has been fucking rubbish for me as well, so you’re not alone. This is a great place to vent, so do what you need to do! | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/12/23 08:41 PM |
| 4 | Friends with your ex wifeWe separated two years ago, tried to be friends. Got back together. Same arguments, same shit. Ended it a month ago, she wants to be friends. This time, I said no. We’re done. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/12/23 11:28 PM |
| 1 | How do you cope with the depression?This advice really hits home, thank you. You’re right - I’m trying to restart a whole new life at once, and doing it in baby steps is obviously (now you point it out) the right step. Thanks for the head check, brother! | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/12/23 09:39 PM |
| 5 | Christmas AloneSteak. Whiskey. Video games. Old movies. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/12/23 06:24 PM |
| 2 | How do you cope with the depression?I’m sorry, man. It hurts. I’m drunk as fuck tonight so probably not coherent but please know that you’re not alone. It’s shit. And it’s sad. And I’ve kind of come to terms with the fact that it is going to be shit and sad for a while. But for now, I’m allowing myself sadness. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/12/23 01:08 AM |
| 1 | How do you cope with the depression?Yeah, me too. It’s a cycle that I’m trying to stop but it’s fucking hard. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/23 10:20 AM |

| 1 | How do you cope with the depression?Thanks, brother. Just hearing that it’ll get easier helps - particularly from someone who’s been through it. Much love, brother. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/23 01:03 AM |

| 2 | How do you cope with the depression?Thank you! Your support is genuinely appreciated, brother. I’m gradually reaching out to family, but it’s hard. I feel humiliated. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/12/23 11:27 PM |
