| 2 | She keeps lying about me…Years ago when my divorce was fresh I took my kiddo out to get my ex something for Mother’s Day, then we took her to her choice of restaurant where I paid (I was broke at the time). When Father’s Day came she didn’t even have my kid call me, nothing. So next year I told my ex we should meet up for lunch for Mother’s Day. She picked the restaurant, I showed up, ordered a water and a salad, can had them split the check. Never wished her a happy Mother’s Day again. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/05/26 10:04 PM |

| 1 | 10 years post divorce - GAL added to casePretty much same thing happened to me, got a GAL. GAL was completely useless and her decision was for my ex. I figured I was gonna lose when we went to trial, but I was always gonna go down swinging. Come to find out, I have an amazing attorney and the judge really didn’t like my ex after the trial. I got sole legal, CS, and attorneys fees when it was all said and done. I went to the same prelaw school the GAL did around the same time, but most GALs are not quite good enough to be a “real attorn… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/25 06:57 PM |

| 3 | Stock market Loss, she filed for DivorceHere the thing. If you were business partners will OP and he did this with his personal money, would you feel comfortable with him having access to the business funds? I understand the underlying theme everyone is trying to get at. My wife divorced me when I got laid off. That was her being ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. I wasn’t being reckless with my/our money. If he’s wallstreetbets-ing his personal money, I wouldn’t trust him with a dollar. Edit: He also said it was all his money then said “our” savin… | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/05/25 06:51 PM |
| 9 | Stock market Loss, she filed for DivorceYou sound like a lucky idiot with money. You yolo everything your financial future on a startup, lose all of it, now once it rebounded you keep it from her? You’re playing game and I’m not sure you’re mature enough for a relationship anyway. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/05/25 12:03 PM |
| 2 | Amicable divorce after 22 year marriage with 3 kids - serious question…I kept the house and told her to take anything out of it while I was out of town. I didn’t care about material possessions and the important stuff for me was already at my folks house. I just assumed she took all of the wedding stuff and whatever until about 10 years later I’m cleaning out the attic and see boxes with her wedding dress and albums and whatnot. I took them all down (because I need the attic space) and put them in the trash can. Texted the ex and said all of it is in the trash can … | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/03/25 12:22 AM |
| 3 | Child Credit On TaxesWhen I paid CS it was every other year I got to claim and it was all drawn out in the order. Was it fair? Not at all. But that’s what happens. That’s why I only have one child. I love being a dad but couldn’t stand trying to coparent with someone who has BPD. I just referred to my CS checks as the price for freedom from the ex. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/03/25 03:54 PM |

| 7 | Gifts during the divorce process?The first year after our divorce I took my ex out to dinner for Mother’s Day with our child who was young at the time. I was quite broke then but paid for the whole thing. When Father’s Day came around not a single card, phone, nothing was sent my way. The next year I took my ex out again for Mother’s Day, let her pick the place and all, I ordered a water and salad. At the end when the waitress came I had her split the ticket up. Never again was I gonna waste time or money on her. Short answer: … | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/02/25 11:02 PM |
| 4 | What should child support cover?The 8 years I paid CS it was for all the tats my ex got. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/02/25 10:49 PM |
| 6 | Fathers are essencial, why keeping them away?States get money from child support from the federal government. Divorce is only good business for the government if someone is forced out of the children’s lives, thus CS is paid. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/02/25 06:08 PM |
| 1 | Head of household filing status proposed for elimination by RepublicansI get CS because I’m the only sane parent per the courts. But the small amount I get, if I actually do get it which is another story, doesn’t cover but maybe the first 5 days of the month. 90% of my child’s needs and wants are paid out of my pocket. But now I wouldn’t be able to claim her on my taxes every year? I’ll just give up the CS because I would save more money on taxes. I love it when the “moral majority” starts making new laws. This would be an amazing country if the politicians were pu… | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/01/25 12:47 AM |
| 1 | Alimony & BitternessLife isn’t fair or just. Once I accepted this I found peace. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/01/25 03:53 AM |
| 9 | Alimony & BitternessMine doesn’t have an understanding of money. She is now broke and I have earned much more since the divorce. I can make and invest money, but the freedom from her was worth the money I had to pay. It was my mistake marrying her so I paid the punitive price and moved on. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/01/25 02:10 AM |

| 3 | Hit with Papers and DrowningThat’s exactly why you need a good attorney. I had no idea my ex had a retirement account hidden from me during my divorce, but my attorney did. Got her to waive me paying her half the equity of the house if I give up my right to half her retirement. I did it and over a decade later it was a very good decision. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/24 09:10 PM |
| 3 | Hit with Papers and DrowningWho says you lost half your retirement? Or anything else? That’s what good attorneys are for. Get you one, a mean one! | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/24 07:46 PM |

| 11 | She pulled the plug while it was my weekend with the kidsI was extremely suicidal when my wife asked for a divorce and we separated. She left me and I only for 30% at the time (I now have about 80%). I wish I could time travel back a decade when this happened to tell myself things get so much better and she was the reason for my horrendous depression. I’m with a new woman 100 times better than my ex ever was. If you find yourself lost in the woods, start walking. You’ll be fine. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/11/24 12:26 AM |

| 1 | Weight loss while divorcingI lost so much weight during my divorce I was extremely malnourished when it finally concluded. I was always skinny before the divorce. Then once the papers were signed, I started my new life, getting those bearclaws with a coke every morning, and after a year and a half I was about 25 lbs overweight. I’ve kept my weight at a healthy level since by eating healthier, but I see that time during the divorce as just surviving as best I can.

| 2 | He was emotionally abusive and narcissisticMy ex more than likely has told all the men she’s been with, including her current husband, that I’m a war criminal. I don’t care and am happy I’m out of her life. I’ve dated several women who have said they have PTSD from their emotionally and verbally abusive exes. I don’t believe it much at all. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/04/24 04:56 PM |
| 24 | Is your ex-wife better off after divorce?Mine was 29 years old, told me she would marry a better man than me (like a doctor or lawyer or something) so our kid can be around a real man. After about a decade of dating losers, she married a guy without a job or a place to live who was in arrears to HIS ex for CS. I have been very blessed in business since the divorce and have been dating a woman much better than her for a few years now. But she wanted the divorce at the time and I didn’t. I’m glad she left me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/03/24 07:42 PM |

I then offered to leave the attorneys out of this and she leaves the kid with me and I’ll not go after CS. She told me to go F myself, so we went to trial. She lost, and the judge ordered her to pay back CS in 30 days while paying current CS.

I said YES way too many times at the beginning setting the stage for 0 boundaries. 3. I had my whole identity wrapped up in her. 4. I didn’t make enough money. 5.

| 21 | What do young women care about these days? I guess having a baby together wasn’t enough. Being a father to her son wasn’t enough. Moving across the country for her wasn’t enough. Buying her gifts wasn’t enough. Getting married wasn’t enough. Buying a family home wasn’t enough.My ex destroyed our life together and a good thing. Many years later she has destroyed the life she built post divorce and we both have gone drastically different ways. I believe some people just have the innate need to destroy.

| 4 | If you're a good person and got married, how did it feel when your marriage broke down? Did you ever wonder as to where you went wrong, and why God made you meet the person that you ended up marrying? How did you reconcile these events whilst still believing that God still has a plan for everything?During the divorce I prayed to Him every night and I still got divorced. I wandered around for a few years believing He has just abandoned me. Then after some time has passed, I stopped and looked around and realized He allowed the divorce because without it, I would be as blessed and have the life I have right now. He saved me from the poor decision I made years ago to marry that woman, and to The Lord I will always be grateful. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/01/24 02:18 PM |

She then proceeded to have unprotected sex with ONS and other randoms to try and get pregnant, per her words. Edit: my point is be extremely careful with one night stands and hookups. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/11/23 06:52 PM |
| 12 | Xmas tree shopping w ex?I’ve never wanted to hang around my ex, but I did stuff like this with her for the kiddo. Unfortunately she went over the edge last year and after years of our kid not knowing we can’t stand each, it is very clear now. So now I don’t have to do it and it’s quite nice. But if you guys are civil, try to make it work. But if she has BPD or the like, don’t let her manipulate you at all. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/11/23 01:04 AM |
| 14 | Wives who had affairs, did their relationship last with their AP?Mine lived rent free in my head for a few years. It was hard to mentally separate myself from her. But with therapy, it set me free. Greatest thing I ever did for myself. Now I really don’t know or care what she’s up to. Finally becoming mentally free from her is truly the sweet taste of freedom. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/11/23 04:21 AM |
| 1 | Drug testingIf I could do it all over, I’d do exactly this. A trial let’s the judge see you (and everyone else in the case) for who you really are. If the judge just read what my ex filed, he’d probably convict me as a war criminal. But when he saw that I’m just a normal dad and am not a criminal, he jumped fully to my side. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/11/23 03:17 PM |
| 3 | Not What I Signed Up ForI didn’t sign up for this, I signed up to have a supportive wife coparent with me, not a crazy woman with BPD. But it’s been years now, the kid is getting into adulthood, and I realize I wouldn’t be the father I have been, or enjoy fatherhood as much, if I was still married to that woman. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/11/23 02:48 PM |
| 2 | Breaking ex's pattern of negotiating EVERYTHINGMy ex has BPD and I’ve realized there is no such thing as negotiation with her. And yes, I have to do the same thing you’re doing this time of year. But I just strictly adhere to the court order and let her throw her fits and I do not respond. Do not respond when she isn’t being productive with you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/11/23 04:15 AM |

What could this mean or am I over thinking things.I wouldn’t be so hard on him. I did the same thing at the beginning before I got an attorney and she told me to move back in. In the married world you can be brainwashed to do everything she tells you to towards the end. This guy just has no idea how things work yet. I still can’t believe I let her kick me out of my own house. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/10/23 12:09 AM |

I’m not saying I’ve said a couple snide remarks here and there, but I have never successfully talked a man out of diving head first who wasn’t already going to do it. In the decade I’ve been divorced I know a guy who’s been married and divorced twice during that time.

| 7 | So weird how many of us saw our wives get addicted to scrolling TikTok constantly.I got married right before social media hit. So I saw it start with MySpace which she was just mildly interested in, to facebook which slowly became a full time job, then instagram right before the divorce. I told her I hadn’t seen her eyes since 2005. Been divorced so long I didn’t have to deal with TikTok. It was nice being newly married but no such thing as social media so we did things and took pics just for us and maybe some poor family member we bug. And she was always just present.

| 3 | Refusing custody of the childrenListen, I have had to coparent with an extremely abusive and delusional woman for well over a decade. I can’t even tell you how much I’ve paid in CS and legal fees because I refuse to add it all up for my own personal peace. But I have done all this for my kid. I don’t want her to end up like her mother, and so far it looks like my plan is working. Money can be lost and earned, your child cannot. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/10/23 08:31 PM |

She took out that money before she filed and I never knew until after. She claimed I was abusive during our marriage, and that was quickly proved wrong by my attorney at the time. But the worst thing she ever did to me was sit me down during the separation and tell me “I will find a better man than you, the one I deserve. And o… | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/09/23 01:27 AM |

Years later, she couldn’t lock down a man then freaked out and married a guy she met off tinder within about 4 months. This guy owes a lot of back child support to his ex, didn’t have a job and was living with his family, and to this day he has never approached me to shake my hand and say hi.

| 3 | OLD - "My ex was abusive" lineI have dug deeper many times. Only one woman who I’ve dated in the last 8 years was actually married to a pretty bad guy, he ended up in prison for some bad stuff.

So here’s the thing about “focusing on pursuing your happiness”, you’re a father and their happiness should come first. Great fathers sacrifice for their children, not run around on their mom. You shoulda served your wife before you started stepping out. She will probably attack you pretty hard in court and get a lot of money from you.

If she went after a husband then, she could have probably gotten a high value male…..but that’s not what happened.

| 3 | Maybe I really am the problem?I would say by my dating history over just the past decade, which all but one had been married at least once, only 15% of them got the divorced served on them because of a cheating husband or something else. The other 85% admitted to me they checked out because either the man they married didn’t change to their liking, or it was that they showed weakness so their wives decided to move on. So I can say that is definitely the case. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/04/23 12:28 AM |
| 2 | Seeing the childrenGet the divorce decree to say what you need it to say to protect your role as a father in their lives. After that, your ex will just not even listen to those rules on a legal contract, but that means you can take her to court and hit her with contempt. I had to do that just a few weeks ago. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/03/23 03:56 AM |
| 3 | How bad do recordings of fights make you look?I used to record my ex when she would call me up and yell at me. I never intended for it to be evidence in the trial we just had, and I’m not even sure I sent them to my attorney. It was just a mind game I was playing with her pretrial to mess with her. I wasn’t gonna waste the judge’s time and piss him off. It worked out well for me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/03/23 10:05 PM |

I got lucky, got a pit bull lawyer who tore her up on the witness stand. The ex lost everything, and I got to watch it all. She wasn’t charged with perjury, but pissed off the judge for “wasting the court’s time” with her lies. Now I got lucky with the great attorney and good judge. Many men in my exact situation would not see the same outcome, but there is hope. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/03/23 03:25 AM |
| 1 | First time having sex after divorce and it suckedIt took awhile but I was able to have a FWB relationship with someone I absolutely can’t stand other than the benefits part. It was going great until one time she decided to stay the night (I know I made the mistake of not going to her place), and she ended up crying on my couch the next morning because she didn’t know there was such a thing as property taxes and owed the state $1400 or something. That’s the last time we talked. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/02/23 03:40 AM |

| 1 | Is there even a point to marriage anymore? Are women really this immature in the aggregate?This is all completely normal. The term “abuse” has been added to bring an extra kick to them wanting out. A lot of the time they will just say “abusive relationship”, and then explain how they escaped such horrible terrors. Years after my divorce I realized my ex is very manipulative and she was playing mind games with me, yet she convinced me she was the one that was emotionally abused. I have dated women since that claim PTSD and even disability because of past “emotionally abusive” relations… | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/02/23 07:15 PM |

Well, she yelled at me for going to the ER, and made fun of me after for a good while. I was just a matter of fact about having to get stitches, wasn’t freaking out or anything like that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/02/23 11:28 PM |

| 2 | Losing HopeJust finished trial where the GAL had decided for the mom a few months ago. I’ve been taunted and teased by the ex since, knowing she would win in trial 100%. To tell you the truth, I figured she would win too because the judge wouldn’t recognize her horrible shitty behavior. But I was gonna see it to the end, and I did. The judge completely laid into her and embarrassed her and her family. I won everything, and it still hasn’t fully hit me yet, I’m still in shock.

You could be a choir boy and live a squeaky clean life, it doesn’t matter. Then you have to legally pay another person to take those kids away from you.

What else have you all considered doing, done, or will do?100 years ago I would probably need a wife. I would have to work my job, then come home to cook, do laundry down by the creek, vacuum, etc. Now I have a washing machine, dishwasher, door dash, and a roomba. So what am I missing that marriage or cohabiting would give me? Companionship? Got that covered too. I got a dog.

I was seeing a great counselor at the time and I was telling him this and he asked me “why do you still allow her to do that?” In other words, why should I care what she thinks.

I sign for a car loan with a bank, and then a year in I get tired of the car so tell them I’m not paying because I’m just not happy anymore. What would they do? Take the car, go after money, and ruin my credit all legally. That’s when justice is served. There is no Justice or wrongs being righted in the family court. Contracts mean nothing in these courts.

| 1 | Dads, what's your current child custody arrangement?I mean a bit over $5k just for this case, but it’ll be more than that when it’s all said and done. That doesn’t count the money I spent in the divorce years ago. But I did most of the work instead of my lawyer because I wanted it that way. I learned the system, how to play on an uneven field over the years, and I played it smart.

| 1 | Dads, what's your current child custody arrangement?It took some years, I started of approx 75/25 with her getting the 75. But as our kid got older, they wanted to stay with me more.

They assume I can “get some” versus if I never married or had a child people would think I’m “less than” because I can’t get a woman.

I chalk it up to a learned mistake, now I just don’t play the game. I love watching it, though. | /r/MGTOW2 | 13/08/19 03:17 AM |

| 1 | How do you get rid of or reduce brain fog?No joke I cut out sugar almost 10 days ago, and drink a MINIMUM of 3 liters of water a day. I’ve felt so much better, but it took a few days. | /r/MGTOW2 | 08/08/19 01:51 PM |
| 1 | Man ordered to pay wife’s medical aid or face arrestI learned this during my divorce. It’s amazing the legal protections I got once that divorce decree was signed, even though, of course, I got divorced raped. I just counted it as a loss and moved on. But as long as you’re still “legally married”, separation has nothing to do with anything. | /r/MGTOW2 | 01/08/19 10:20 AM |
| 1 | Now I'm Curious : Being SingleI e got a dog, but we are more like roommates. Well, he is like the free loader that doesn’t pay any bills or cleans, but he’s cool and protects the house and does a heck of a lot more than my wife did. Plus he respects my privacy. | /r/MGTOW2 | 08/07/19 05:36 PM |
| 1 | Any Christians here?It’s amazing the things I’ve seen since my divorce. My ex has become a total slut, and I have seen a correlation between how much money I make and how much more attractive I am to women. I kinda screwed around for a few years, but realized that I am my most productive and happy when I’m monk. So now instead of chasing tail like I did for so many years, I chase the dollar, self improvement, etc. problem is, when you don’t put women as a priority, they start to chase you, trying to “change” you. | /r/MGTOW2 | 05/07/19 01:46 PM |
| 1 | Got banned for some reasonThis is exactly right. They have an enormous hatred toward women, and living your life just to hate something isn’t really living YOUR life or going your own way.

I think I know what ya are, seeing you got a lot of time and you seem to really need to make some sort of point to online strangers. I got stuff to do, so I’m gonna say one thing. I DONT GIVE A SHIT. Cool? Kay | /r/MGTOW2 | 02/07/19 10:49 PM |
| 1 | I got banned from r/MGTOW when I needed help.Ok,let me make this very clear. I was drinking my morning coffee waiting for “the train” to get going when I wrote this. I was not making an opinion either way, and I actually do not care at all about my religions stance on masturbating. Had no clue someone would take my comment and write a manifesto about how wrong I am on something I don’t care about. So I have one word for you, huh? | /r/MGTOW2 | 02/07/19 09:16 PM |
| 1 | Is it better to live one day as a lion than a thousand years as a sheep?Married men do not live longer. I used to be married, and I was dead. Only when she left have I really been alive. I even admire flowers and other things I didn’t notice when I was married to a soul sucking woman. I’d rather die having lived 80 great years than 90 bad ones. | /r/MGTOW2 | 02/07/19 01:58 PM |
| 3 | I got banned from r/MGTOW when I needed help.I’m religious and I know what he is talking about. Can’t recall the exact part of the Bible it’s in, but it says something like “you shall not spill your seed on the ground” or something. I’m not into that, but I also believe we all sin, Didn’t mean to turn this into religion, but if he’s against it then we gotta respect that. As for me, if I lived like that, I might my rage might overcome me and I’ll end up in prison having a different kind of unwanted sex. | /r/MGTOW2 | 02/07/19 01:50 PM |
| 1 | How do I healthily get my need of sex met when I go MGTOW?Also, be straightforward with her about you intentions. No joke, women find it much more attractive for some reason, like they can be the one that can “change me”. But if you tell them you’re not looking for a relationship, it’s surprising how that ends up. | /r/MGTOW2 | 02/07/19 01:41 PM |

| -1 | Reminder that single moms complain about men but are often the ones who raise the worst of them.Yes, very good point. Couldn’t agree more. But what are we to do about it? Whine and complain about it, or go out and become successful men in our society. It’s kinda like getting shot in the arm and instead of tending to the wound and healing it, we are searching for what shot us, who did it, and what type of gun was it. All the while bleeding out. | /r/MGTOW | 13/04/19 06:57 PM |

| 3 | Why are there so many young single moms?!This is so true. For women, children are very lucrative financially. And by the time they’re about 1 1/2 years old they can pretty much take care of themselves. Believe me or not, I’ve seen these hoes and their kids learn at a very young age they better learn how to make a sandwich or they will starve. This is why I’ve lost all faith in humanity. | /r/MGTOW | 23/12/18 04:50 PM |

I did not make the rules, I just live them. I’m not gender fluid, and that stuff is bs anyway. Transgenderism is a mental health problem, and feminism will cause the downfall of our society.

| 1 | Kavanaugh Confirmed!Good point. Should Franken had stepped down? He did. I think he did under his own party’s pressure so they could use this to attack a republican. He was expendable, he knew it, they knew it. He fell on his own sword for his liberal cause.
