Lol, why would they do that? Billionaires don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves. How are you not getting that at this point?

I beat myself up a lot over this. Two things got me to stop: 1. Looking at things from their point of view when I start getting short with them. They don't understand what's going on and they're not equipped to deal with it. That extended my patience with them. 2. Recognizing in the moment that I don't get to see them every day and they won't be young forever - I should be cherishing every moment with them, not making things more difficult for them. The guilt won't help them, only understanding …

This is exactly it - there is no "sense", no logic, it's all about Feelings. Feelings make us act impulsively. Logic requires effort, patience and commitment. "Til death do us part" has become "Til inconvenience makes me look for better options". I'm not saying there aren't a ton of shitbag husbands out there - lots of men deserve their divorces. I'm talking about the guys who tried their best, put in the sincere effort to build a life together, and it wasn't good enough.

The thing my divorce made me realize is that no matter what you've done or gone through together, at any moment, the other person can simply decide to change their mind, and your entire world is destroyed. This is why I'm totally ok with never having another LTR.

Lol, we probably dated the same chick. One I saw off and on for a while would always be sure I knew how much attention she was getting from other men, like, her way of reminding me to always be on her good side or else. I mean, I'm cool with the fact that most of life is a competition. But after a few months of dating someone, I'd hope I can get out of compete mode and into something more dependable, and I don't know... honest? Call me old fashioned.

A lot of my reasons have been mentioned here already, but one I've experienced but haven't seen listed here yet: after jumping back into the dating pool after over a decade out of it, I just hate the dynamics of modern dating. Maybe it's because of online dating, or my own poor partner choices, or maybe most men are just too fucking thirsty for their own good these days, but every woman I've dated post-divorce seems to treat dating like some fucking game show where they are the prize and men are…

Haha, I feel this. I thought I was in the clear too. Now every time I hear a guy talking about his girl/wife, I gotta bite my tongue. The other side of me wants to run around like Roddy Piper in They Live, just trying to get these poor bastards to put on the damned magic sunglasses.

there are enough harpies out there who will encourage them to abandon their man that they are prone to continual fixation on the negative to justify their leaving Lol, so true. I was naive so I was shocked but shouldn't have been that as soon as she started drifting from me to the new guy, ALL her friends were egging her on. I noticed she started picking apart my every fault (and of course, making shit up to pick at). Then I realized the one thing they all had in common that my wife didn't - the…

I was so spun out by my divorce I questioned everything in my life, including my own thoughts and attitudes about the world. Led me down a path of self discovery, spiritual and psychological learning that has completely transformed my mentality for the better. Had we stayed together, I'd still be psychologically blind to all I've learned since then.

I knew nothing about the Stoic philosophy until my divorce. It has helped my life in all areas immeasurably. I can't believe I went most of my life being buffeted by the whims of life when many of the answers were right there all the time. Excellent way to rationally manage ones mind, thoughts and feelings. Highly recommend. Ryan Holiday/The Daily Stoic is a great place to start, for anyone interested.

I think in order to not have to deal with the reality of them being a shitty person doing terrible things for their own gratification, they rewrite history in their own minds to make you the villain so they can feel ok about themselves despite their horrendous behavior.

If they want to have children they still can have children without marriage. I had 2 kids with my ex, together 11 years, but never married her. My friend had 3 with his ex, and they were married for 20. When we split I told my ex I'd split the cost of monthly kids bills, things like school fees, insurances, etc., and that's it, she gets not a penny out of me (since she was the one who decided to end it). I also stipulated I'd get the kids half the week every week, and she agreed. My friend's wif…

Cold hard facts. Probably politically incorrect, but true to the word. And modern women have a sense of entitlement that is not possible to satisfy. They expect to have it all - and they are being told that they should have it all - that their whim and feelings are most important. What I didn't realize until my breakup was American women in particular are raised this way - from the earliest ages they're indoctrinated with the Prince Charming mentality - the perfect guy will come along, and he wi…

Truth. It does suck that good women get lumped in with the bad. The "switch flipping" is definitely for real though, and it's scary. Not only did I experience it happen with my ex of 11 years & 2 kids, but I've seen more examples of it now than I can count. Never heard of it before it happened to me. But now that I know, I'll probably never fully trust anyone again, not just women.

Being an only child, I've always been comfortable with being alone. For so long that it's been baseline for me for as long as I can remember. It's been an actual blessing in my life. As an adult I've always found it interesting/odd that so many people can't be alone for even the shortest period of time without feeling debilitatingly, desperately "lonely". They have to constantly surround themselves with people, and create problems and drama for the sake of staying connected to those people. My d…

Reminds me of that line in Heat, when Macaulay is describing his "line of work" to Edie. She says "Sounds lonely". He replies "I'm alone, but I'm not lonely". That line struck me so damned hard. Just because I'm alone doesn't mean I'm "lonely".

Lol, someone points out OP might have a fair share of blame, and everyone wants to pretend he was perfect instead. I guess OP, and everyone else here, is totally free of fault in causing their marriage to crumble? Like OP got handies on the reg behind his wife's back, then went home all chipper and cheery to an unloving wife instead of maybe going home with a chip on his shoulder and resentment in his heart? This is the problem with our culture today - no one wants to accept they may be at fault…

Fatherhood ain't for everyone, but my kids I had with my ex are the light of my life. If it wasn't for them I guarantee I'd be in jail or dead by now, due to self destructive tendencies. They're also hella fun to hang out with, most of the time. And since divorce can put kind of a cramp in your social life, my relationship with them has been a godsend. My responsibility to them also is fuel to accomplish the goals I have for myself, both professionally and personally. Just sharing a different pe…

I know this post may be a little late, but do some charitable work, even if it's just cooking and taking it yourself to those in need. Enjoy a movie, cook yourself a fancy meal, reach out to someone, etc. Just because it's Christmas doesn't mean it has to be an epic family experience every year. Today I did some last minute shopping for when I do see my kids, made it a point to engage all my cashiers in friendly conversation, took a nice drive in the mountains listening to great music, hit the g…

I'm not into the red pill/blue pill or Men Go it Alone or whatever it's called bullshit. Most of that stuff seems too reductive, cynical, woman-hating, to me. But after being burned badly my my ex and ex-friend, I've come to realize people's romantic attractions can change on a dime, and they're usually too weak to resist. I therefore trust no one anymore. But not in a negative, I hate everyone way. More like in an I'm just a realist and see human nature for what it is kind of way. This acceptan…

I used to trust everyone too, for most of my life. In hindsight, it seems everyone took that trust as a sign of weakness or naivete, or even flat out stupidity on my part. And I'm certainly no stranger to deep sadness and depression. It took me almost 5 years, but I'm very content now essentially on my own. A major key to that was realizing that I can generate my own happiness from within, I don't need anyone to supply it for me. A beautiful day, a good cup of coffee, a workout, I focus on the j…

It IS everywhere, it's crazy. We don't have to be bitter though, we can make our peace with it. I have. I think I'm actually happier now that I know I can't trust anyone. Makes me feel insulated and grounded. I have no illusions when it comes to others, and that's a good feeling. I'm still nice to everyone, genuinely so. I can be nice to you and still not trust you.

My ex of 11 years & 2 kids kicked me to the curb for one of my "friends", all the while gaslighting me by telling me I'm crazy for suspecting something was up between them. A childhood friend of mine recently stopped talking to me because although I've helped him out financially more times than I can count, I couldn't help him out this last time he asked. Another childhood friend reached out to me and asked me out for a drink. I was stoked because he never reaches out to me. During drinks he rev…

Would she listen if you appealed to her sense of basic human decency? Like, don't do 50/50 for me, do it for our [kid], and [his] happiness. So sorry you're going through this. Regardless of circumstance your strongest move is to just keep being the best dad you can be.

You say you're not made for this kind of stress, you say you're destroyed, and know what? You're right. Your identity and sense of reality HAVE been destroyed, just like all of ours have. And you WILL never be the same again. And you probably aren't "built for this". YET. Because now you have the opportunity to MAKE yourself into someone who IS built for this kind of life stress. To stop feeding yourself these negative narratives you've been telling yourself for years and replace them with posit…

Re-read your screen name. Then quit the bullshit, stop feeling sorry for yourself and move forward. I get your pain & hurt & loss - my boy is approaching 7, and the other guy has been living with him the last 3 years. I've had the same feelings you're having and I'm here to tell you - NO ONE can replace you in the eyes of your kids. Yes, he's getting moments with your son that "should have been" yours, your son is getting emotionally attached, and all that other wonderful shit. But remember: you…

Your post-divorce story is almost identical to mine, focus on kids & entrepreneurship for the last 3ish years, no desire for romantic entanglements. Except in the last 7-8 months I have been involved in a romantic relationship. And you know what? I kind of wish I wasn't. Damned my high libido. Life was so much easier and less stressful the previous 3 years before this current relationship. Now I'm finding being with someone and all the ups and downs involved takes up a frustrating amount of my b…

I'm wondering whether dating and stuff helped you. I desperately want to move on, and socialize, etc. Haha, what a loaded question for me right now. Last year I started dating someone. Went great for the 1st couple of months. Then issues started to crop up that exposed that I have a lot more work to do. Basically issues of trust, jealousy, overthinking, paranoia. To be fair to myself, the girl I am dating has a lot of her own past relationship issues that are causing us trouble too. Although we'…

This topic you started reminds me of something a divorced friend said to me recently. He's undergoing some incredible financial challenges for the next 12+ years due to this divorce. I was with my ex for 11 years, 2 kids, but never married her. We worked out our finances by me basically saying "We'll split all bills for the kids 50/50, but other than that, you're on your own". Both my friend and my splits from our exes took a huge emotional toll on us. But the other day my friend is lamenting hi…

Hey man, I'm sorry you're going through this right now. My D-day was about 3 years ago. Together for 11 years, 2 kids together, then she left me for one of my "friends". I was totally blindsided. I was devastated. Worst emotional pain I've ever gone through. I still have a lot of work to do, but I'm much better now in my head than I've ever been before. I think it's because aside from what you've already mentioned, the "work" I did included a lot of self reflection about how my own mind & though…

I couldn't get my head around it either, until I realized demonizing me was/is a survival mechanism. To admit her mistakes would make her see herself and her actions in a negative light. The only way to combat that is to rewrite history and make me the bad guy, and her the victim who's been suffering for years and just had to get out. Sucks, but very common, I've found. The only way I've found to combat this is to genuinely come to a place where you just don't care what her - or anyone else's - …

If men weren't so generally fucking unable to control themselves there wouldn't be a need for this kind of thing. Do you not see the obvious, glaring sexism in your own statement?? Wow. And women get assaulted in lots of places, not just cabs (as do men). So using your logic, we should segregate the entire society? Your line of thinking is exactly the kind of psychological infantilism others in this thread have mentioned.

Western United States, he's in the tech/audio/visual industry, made around 200k a year. Her? Never worked a day in her married life. He supported her for over 20 years. I couldn't believe it either when he told me, but he's a close, trusted friend.

Anecdotal evidence, but all the evidence I need: A friend of mine got traditionally married and is now going through a traditional divorce. He lost his house & bank account (and kids) to her. He sees them 1 weekend a month, and is legally bound to pay child support plus 65% of his income to his ex for the next 12 years. SIXTY FIVE PERCENT. Just fucking insane.

I think it's at this stage in life when it's important to remember that all we're doing here - on Earth, this lifetime - is basically finding ways to pass time (until death). Sex? Just passing time. Work? Passing time. Relationships, recreation, exercise... all human endeavors - just passing time. So you're in your 50s and know you have some personal work to do before your twilight years, so... do the work! Best case scenario: you improve yourself to the point where your reach the zone/lifestyle…
