| 1 | Wife asked for separation/divorce after 20+ years and two young children - how do I give space without disappearing?I think truly accepting their decision means to let it go as hard as it sounds. Be a nice father, own her to be respectful and friendly for the sake of the kids, but don't destroy yourself with your guilt. Guilt is good for transformation, but not for defining your life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/06/26 06:54 PM |

| 5 | Wife asked for separation/divorce after 20+ years and two young children - how do I give space without disappearing?For the deleted comment about my masculinity: I don’t see taking responsibility for my part as unmanly. The men I have seen in my own life often could not reflect on their role in conflict or change their behaviour, and I do not want to repeat that. I suffered immensely as a child from my parents’ divorce and from the way they treated each other. I do not want my own children to carry that kind of pain. I want to grow from this: become calmer, more mature, more grounded, and be a father my child… | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/06/26 04:23 PM |
| 2 | Wife asked for separation/divorce after 20+ years and two young children - how do I give space without disappearing?Thank you. I do still hope that, with time and real change, there could perhaps be a different future for us, but I also know I cannot build my life around that hope or try to force it. Right now I am trying to take her decision seriously, be present for my children, and stop making her responsible for calming my fear or proving my worth. I want to stay kind and respectful without losing myself in the process. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/06/26 04:16 PM |
