| 0 | I might get a divorce and I’m scaredYou’re scared? You shouldn’t be posting here. This is for real men, who mostly have been dealing with women who are emotionally abusive. You sound like an emotional abusive woman. Jesus fucking christ this is not how men should behave | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/04/25 06:13 AM |

| 20 | Anyone here who has been divorced for 3+ years, haven’t been in a serious or even casual relationship since, and still feel miserable?I was married 17 years, 4 kids, and she cheated multiple times. I was Sole provider for most of it. Don’t rely on a woman for happiness. As weird as it sounds you gotta fall in love with yourself, and be happy by yourself. Because chances are, you’re an awesome guy. Get to know yourself and enjoy time with yourself. Guys fucking rock; hard working, content with simple pleasures in life. Women are an absolute shit shows, especially when they menstruate every month. Find a small pleasure you have … | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/03/25 04:11 AM |

| 2 | Really going through it right now.I feel your pain man. Very similar situation here. I work full time, work ANY overtime that I can (it’s not a lot) and hustle with side jobs. The ex works part time and my kids come to me for all the big expenses (like $600 for my daughter’s cheerleading) I recently started donating plasma, which I recommend. Just did a promo where I made $650 for 8 donations. Takes about an hour per donation. Anyway, hang in there man. I have to remind myself this is temporary.

| 6 | It got better, way better. (I know you’re tired of hearing this)Great post dude! Good for you, and I never get tired of hearing/reading these posts. I get tired of reading the posts where the guy is in complete denial that his soon to be ex is sleeping with someone else and already moved on from them. I feel awful for them, but it gets old reading the same scripts over and over. But regardless, good for you! You are absolutely correct in that it can get so much better. Cheers mate 🍻 enjoy your new life 😎 | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/11/24 10:46 PM |
| 4 | Family playing middle groundI’m in the same position my friend. My ex cheated after 17 years, completely destroyed me. My parents are christians. My ex found jesus about a year after she got caught. My parents said the same things to me, that I brought her into the family, and she is essentially their daughter. Blew me away. I had to divorce my parents too. I cannot imagine ever doing that to my kids, blood is blood. I agree with you.

| 2 | Is it cheaper to keep her?Divorced in Texas here. Spousal Support isn’t really a thing here. They might get 3 - 9 months, and every situation is different, but it’s not like California. No calculator like there is for child support, and no lifetime spousal support | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/10/24 01:13 AM |
| 7 | Is it cheaper to keep her?You have 20 - 25 years to rebuild your wealth if you pull the chord and let her go. The alternative is to let her spend you into the ground. Maybe your marriage is worth saving if she can change, but you’re gonna have to tell her how strongly you feel about this, let her know it’s a dealbreaker if she won’t get on board with being fiscally responsible. Sounds like you have enabled a monster; no judgement from me, I did the same thing. I’m 40, and rebuilding with nobody spending my money now and … | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/10/24 12:35 AM |

| 2 | About to retire from 20 years in the military and just found out wife has been cheating for years.Gah damnit sorry bro. Thank you for your service. What a piece of trash she is. Do not let her know that you know. Talk to an attorney right away. Don’t know what state you live in. If you’re in an “at-fault” state, getting evidence of the affair can make a big difference in your divorce. Bottom line is your lawyer will know, and give you the guidance. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/10/24 03:27 AM |

I’m happy it worked out for you, but you’re also back legally tied to a woman, and you can’t say you won’t get burned. Sure it’s great now, after many years, but many dudes on this sub have been destroyed by women they thought were great, after many years, and then they aren’t one day, and they are ruined. It’s also not true that it will simply work out for all men, that in time, we will find that unicorn woman. Some of us won’t.

| 6 | Red HandedIf you’re in an “at-fault” state it could be huge for you to have evidence. Adultery is always on that list. I used an automatic voice recorder. Also, your cell phone provider may have text logs. I had AT&T and that’s how I initially discovered it but she denied denied. Once I had the audio where she was admitting it to her mom that was it. Be careful though, it’s not legal in all states to record a conversation without their knowledge. So check that out. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/24 10:39 PM |

As hard as it is, you’re certain there’s no going back, and you’re right. That is what’s driving you, even though it’s painful, you think logically and know what you have to do. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/09/24 01:26 AM |

| 13 | FEAR...I was terrified about going through the discovery process. For lots of good reasons. It ended up not too bad. I produced everything they asked for, she produced nothing. Didn’t bother me bc she’s worthless. Shit job, no savings, racked up credit card, no 401K, no retirement. Her lawyer agreed neither party would touch the other parties accounts, for any of it. I have massive retirement I’ve been putting into for years and a nice 401K. I paid off all my debt (one credit card), student loan, and 4… | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/04/24 08:26 PM |
| 5 | Texas DivorceI just wrapped up my divorce in Texas and my stbxw was a sahm for the majority of our 17 yr marriage. I make 6 figures. She has no skills, no degree, and a very checkered work history. She didn’t get any spousal support. I would definitely urge your attorney to fight back hard on any spousal support. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/04/24 01:55 PM |

| 5 | So we talked all day yesterday, and it didn't make things betterI’m guessing she has probably been cheating on you for years. Sounds like she doesn’t respect you at all, and I agree with you in pursuing divorce. Most lawyers offer a free initial consultation. I would strongly encourage to consult with many lawyers, get input from your friends, peers, look at reviews for different lawyers online. Do your due diligence and get a good lawyer. Once you find a good one, you can expect about $350/hr (in Texas), and they will want a retainer up front, probably 10k … | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/24 03:11 PM |
| 1 | Absolutely terrifiedYes, you pay the child support and she can spend it however she wants. But she no longer has access to any other money of yours. My ex was constantly spending “our” money. The money I made. So yeah, I gotta pay child support, but I don’t have her spending all my money on amazon shit we don’t need, or Marshalls or Kohls, or getting $300 hair cuts etc | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/03/24 02:14 PM |
| 2 | Absolutely terrifiedRecently divorced in Texas, 4 kids, expanded standard custody. Yes, the CS is brutal, but spousal support isn’t really a thing in Texas. I pay zero spousal support. Also, don’t forget you won’t be on the hook for all of your ex’s spending; amazon, kohls, marshalls, gucci, $300 haircuts, etc etc etc. This off sets a good part of the child support | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/03/24 12:00 PM |

Think about the future you, and what you want your like to look like. Not sure what all your issues are, but since you didn’t mention cheating I’m guessing dead bedroom, controlling wifey.

| 2 | As soon as the ring came off….If you haven’t already, I recommend getting snipped first. Then have as much fun as you like. I would keep your ex in the dark; it won’t help you in the divorce process. My ex cheated on me and I wanted badly to throw it in her face but I’m grateful I never did. Also, she will likely use it against you with your kids. Don’t give her any ammunition. But go have fun, don’t take them seriously, enjoy your freedom! | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/01/24 12:34 AM |

Don’t take the bait my man, she’s fishing. The lure she’s using is flashing in front of you. Are you gonna take the bait? You do and she lands a 200 lb monster. Fuck her, be you. Go for a walk. Call your mom to say hello. You’re above this. Good luck my man | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/08/21 12:27 AM |
