| 1 | Wife is thinking of leaving. How do I avoid alimony?When my ex started the leaving talk we did a postnup. I would at least try to see if she is open to that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/01/26 02:43 AM |
| 4 | Am I a Narcissist, according to Divorce Coaches I am ?I'm not sure why moving out of the house unless compelled to do so by a judge is even on the table. You stay there as long as possible. She can move out if she wants to get a divorce. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/10/25 11:12 PM |
| 1 | Should I ask for alimonyNot to mention he voluntarily cut his pay in half. That won't fly in court. They'll expect him to meet another $100k a year job. Why prolong a divorce by going to trial or wasting time negotiating when you are in the wrong. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/05/25 06:01 PM |
| 1 | Should I ask for alimonyYou don't steal alimony from your spouse period. Doesn't matter what gender you are, it'd morally wrong. You make it on your own. What's legal and what's morally right are 2 different things. Now, only being married 3 years, then asking for alimony, he'd really come off as a loser leach. Same thing I'd say to a woman. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/05/25 05:59 PM |
| -1 | Should I ask for alimonyNo, you shouldn't. Same thing I'd say to a woman in this position. Plus, you probably won't get it since it's a short marriage. Be a man and make your own future. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/05/25 07:20 PM |
| 3 | Any dad's on here hit this realizationWell, then why work more? If you get 40% of the time, her extra wage may cancel out your support obligations. But still, go for 50/50 | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/04/25 12:34 AM |
| 4 | One Week Away and She Now Decides to ContestMake sure to ask the court for your lawyer fees since she is the cause of you needing to get one. I made sure our agreement had a clause in it that any party who trys to go back on the agreement will be found liable for the other party's lawyer fres to defend the original agreement. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/25 05:47 PM |
| 2 | I don’t understand why she won’t communicate.When she asked for an amicable divorce, what she was really asking was for you to just agree to everything she wants so she doesn't have any stress. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/25 04:04 AM |

| 2 | Divorcing a Possible BPD SpouseIt was signed in June and I filed in August. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/04/25 03:21 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing a Possible BPD SpouseI just got really lucky. Her and her lawyer were not happy with the agreement when we finally did go through divorce. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/04/25 02:47 PM |
| 2 | Divorcing a Possible BPD SpouseYes, I had great success, however I think it might be too late for you. After my ex-spouse with BPD moved in with the guy she was obsessed with, he went out of the coutry for 2 weeks and wasn't easily contactable. During this time she wanted to move back so I convinced her to sign a Postnup agreement. She agreed and even took charge by writing it up and scheduling the notary. About 3 weeks after she moved back in with me she left for him again. Luckily for me, that postnup stayed in place and I … | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/04/25 09:11 PM |
| 1 | PostnupI live in Wisconsin and did this. It held up. All I owed her was 30% of the equity in my house, nothing else. Saved my a few hundred thousand. I did get her to draft the postnuptial agreement though, which I think went a long way. She not only drafted it, but also scheduled the notary. Being as this was now her contract, I think that helped a lot. Just put some pressure on her to draft up the contract since she is the cheater. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/25 07:47 PM |
| 1 | Wife wants $5K a month - not sure wtf to do anymore.Sounsd like she is abusing you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/25 07:39 PM |
| 3 | It's not getting betterFastest way to get over her is to get under another. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/03/25 03:52 AM |
| 1 | Can STBX force me to turn in credit card statements?At least we're I'm from you must fill out a financial disclosure. That would include assets and debts. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/03/25 02:45 AM |
| 1 | Verge of divorceAsk for a postnup that excludes you from alimony and gibong her 1/2 your property. If you do end up divorced, fight for custody. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/03/25 03:40 AM |
| 5 | Sleeping with the enemyCome on man, she cheated on you. Probably sneaking into your bed the nights she can't get with someone else. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/02/25 10:18 PM |
| 24 | What Is Behind the Trend of Women Initiating Breakups and Divorces?I think women are much more likely to blame thier unhappiness on someone else, instead of self-reflecting. Easiest person to blame, your spouse. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/02/25 10:14 PM |
| 2 | Need a reality checkYeah, but you don't have to be that in the future. You can get the child support and alimony, that'll probably be an extra few thousand a month, and with your teachers salary, have a pretty solid non-poor life. Your best bet is to probably hire a lawyer and never talk to her again, so she can't manipulate you during the negotiations. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/02/25 08:33 PM |
| 1 | She moved on in an instant, while my world is falling apart.What makes you think she's going to NYC alone? | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/02/25 08:24 PM |
| 7 | The ‘DON’T LEAVE YOUR HOME’,’GET 50-50 CUSTODY’and ‘LET THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS KNOW ABOUT THE CHEATING’ are not an option anymore.Are restraining orders really that easy to get? I'm in Wisconsin, my ex-wife and her moron of a lawyer tried to get one on me, only to literally be laughed at in court. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/25 07:00 PM |
| 2 | Pre-Divorce StrategySince she doesn't know you eant a divorce yet, and doesn't know you know about the affair, you could try to approach her with the idea of a postnup agreement. Technically you can't do one if you plan on getting divorced, so keep that on the dl. I was able to get my ex to sign one and avoided spousal support, taking on her debts, or splitting any property that was mine, cars, bank accounts, 401k, stocks, etc. Basically a what's mine is mine, what's yours is yours, what's ours is ours agreement | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/25 05:07 AM |
| 10 | Separated to divorceShe's already seeing someone, probably that married guy she supposedly stopped talking to. She just wants you on the bench of the affair doesn't work out. Why make it easy on her and move out? She's the cheater here, not you, so tell her she can move out. Plus, you don't want to leave your kids. Lastly, I'd normally not promote going for 1/2 of everything, including her retirement, but since she is the one who stepped out on the marriage, please do. You might also be entitled to spousal support. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/25 05:01 AM |
| 1 | My X is trying to cheat me out of my equity in our home during a buyout.Unless you had a prenup, I'm pretty sure you might be entitled to 50% of the equity. Since you were married, even though she paid for the upgrades to the house, you may actually owe none of that. I have no clue how WA works, but definetely get a lawyer. It sounds like they are trying to take advatage of someone who is unrepresented. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/02/25 10:27 PM |
| 1 | Tips for keeping spousal alimony lowWell, if she doesn't know you want a divorce you could try to convince her to sign a postnup. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/02/25 06:17 PM |
| 5 | How many wives admitted they regret the divorce?You did that everyday and you still weren't good enough? On the bright side, she'll never be happy. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/02/25 06:09 PM |
| 2 | For those of you who had to go through “war” in your divorce I want to hear your story and how you made it out.So, after all that you get exactly what you are asking for, minus lawyer fees and a headache. Mine did the same thing. We had a post-nup and I figured we would follow that without needing lawyers involved. Boy was I wrong. In the end, split exactly like the post-nup layed out. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/02/25 10:11 PM |
| 2 | Post-divorce intimacyPerhaps lay off the thc? I like it too, but it is known to cause this problem. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/01/25 10:33 PM |
| 9 | Ugh. My story I never saw coming, living together for next 6 monthsLiving together will be very difficult. She's not going to the gym for no reason afterall. Obviously, you should talk to a lawyer. Maybe keeping the debt seems fair, but would she do the same in reverse? You do need to talk to someone. You shouldn't be holding this in yourself. That is the worst thing you could do. Talk to your family, your friends, and/or a therapist. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. My guess is it's not about your wife being happy or not, nor is it due to you. It's al… | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/01/25 10:31 PM |
| 7 | Wife wants a divorce because of infidelity 12 years ago in previous marriage?How did you having an affair in your previous marriage not come up with your current wife before you got married? Could this be what's bothering her? She might be thinking you hid that from her for a reason. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/01/25 09:52 PM |
| 9 | Comparing progress with exYou can't compare her progress to yours for many reasons, but one of them is her progress started way before asking for the divorce. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/01/25 08:01 PM |
| 1 | Ex wife Kidnapped the kids | She's a fugitiveOnly if they catch her and she doesn't kill the kids to spite him. I wouldn't say he won any lotto. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/01/25 11:36 PM |
| 12 | The divorce subreddit is sickening!!!!I'll admit, when I was younger I was one of those men who ate up the bullshit lies women would spew about their exes. I've come to realize though, that women usually are the cause of their own unhappiness. Still though, reddit is full of simps looking to score points with women. Some day, they'll get burned too. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/01/25 09:57 PM |
| 9 | I hate my ex-wifeHonestly, the way you describe yourself, it's best for her to no longer have communication with you. It's time you pull yourself out of this funk, start working out a few times a week, and find real friends. She may have treated you poorly during the breakup, but at this point it's all on you to help yourself. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/01/25 09:14 PM |
| 3 | She PlottedI'd have made her move to the guest room. Was she really going to keep sleeping next to you if you didn't move out? | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/01/25 08:58 PM |
| 5 | She PlottedMy wife left for someone else back in 2023. I then allowed her to move back home when her mother conviced her she was making a mistake. During that time, which only lasted a few weeks before she removed back in with him, I was able to get a post nuptial in place that saved my big time. Good luck getting one, sometimes an opportunity will emerge and if it does, take advantage of it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/01/25 08:52 PM |
| 14 | She PlottedYou're right. But, they want drama and security. Hence why she waited until you retired. This way she can have drama with random men while getting paid from your hard work. So frustrating. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/01/25 08:45 PM |
| 1 | STBXW wants to date after she moves outIf she does have BPD, she is probably very good at gaslighting. Don't believe that story. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/01/25 05:25 AM |
| 1 | STBXW wants to date after she moves outMy ex-wife has BPD too. She's most likely lying to you about "semi-rape". It's will undoubtedly happen again, especially.if.you take her back, because taking her back will mean in her mind she can get away with it again. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/01/25 05:20 AM |
| -16 | Did you cheat on your wife leading to divorce?Your ex-wife will be much better without you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/01/25 03:55 AM |
| 4 | WTF!? I just received (expected) paperworkBullshit. I'm surprised murder suicide isn't more popular with judgments like this. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/24 03:59 AM |
| 2 | We want to split fairly. How do we decide what is fair?Yeah, but in this case he will benefit if they both avoid lawyers. Lawyers will make sure he doesn't get his $75K back from the house, and that he pays alimony. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/12/24 10:47 PM |
| 2 | Can STBX force me to turn in credit card statements?Yes, you have to. It's not even your STBX forcing you to turn them in, pretty sure legally you just have to. Plus, why would you not want to? That debt will be split equally among the two of you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/12/24 10:34 PM |
| 5 | Am I being too nice?As long as once the kids are out you can sell the house and collect your 50% of the equity, nothing wrong with what you are doing. Just don't give up your equity when the times come. In the end, you might even make more money doing this, if home prices keep going up | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/11/24 02:58 AM |
| 1 | Help me out here, as a child of the 2000s who was raised in a strict Christian household, who has only had sexual contact with my ex wife, what do I need to know?What you were taught is important to you, just not your ex wife. You can't control someone else's morals, but you can stick to yours. Many churches hold mens divorce groups, I used to be in one. Get into one ASAP, you are not alone. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/11/24 02:44 AM |
| 5 | My wife is a lawyer. A badass one. How to get a divorce without being killed?Why would you marry a lawyer without a Prenup? Also, if she's a good lawyer, she makes a killing herself. I'd imagine you'll be fine. Hell, you might even get alimony. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/11/24 02:37 AM |
| 1 | Wait at least one year after Divorce before dating.Yeah, this might be for some, but not for others. Nothing wrong with dating even before the divorce is final. We're not getting younger. Have fun while you still can, that's my motto. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/11/24 01:40 AM |
| 1 | Divorce filingGet a lawyer. Also, send her an offer just as insulting. Play the same game. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/11/24 05:31 AM |
| -7 | How to move on from feeling taken advantage of?Dox. Interfere with her happiness every chance you get. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/11/24 01:48 AM |
| 8 | I'm...very messed up.Turn that pain into anger and fight like hell for your kids, your money, your pride. My wife did pretty much exactly the same. These women get on the Facebook groups and basically all pretend they are "emotionally abused". It's a big woe is me fest on there. Then they all do this. I made my ex pay, kept pretty much everything in our fight. Time for you to make her pay. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/11/24 04:40 AM |
| 6 | Butt kicked in courtSorry for this outcome. Can only hope divorce laws change someday. Like, what insentive do you have to maintain your job? You'd be better off going off the radar and working for cash in a small farm town. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/11/24 10:22 PM |
| 1 | How many of you heard the word “Space” before the end play?Yep. Now, what "space" really means is they have another prospect and want to try it out. If it doesn't work, then they'll be back. Don't buy the "I need space" coming out of nowhere bullshit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/11/24 01:46 AM |
| 1 | Found out the ex is pregnant with her new husbandThat's her perogative. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/11/24 06:57 AM |
| 1 | Wife with Borderline Personality DisorderMy wife also had BPD. No, I don't think you can make this work. If she truly does have BPD you also need to get those poor children away from her. The damage she'll end up doing to them will last a lifetime. As for you, this relationship will beat you down and make you feel like a worthless POS. You might someday be acused of things you never did, like abuse, and she may even have you arrested. You could try to do what I did. When my ex-wife was not in an angry split, I was able to get her to si… | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/10/24 09:48 PM |
| 2 | Exwife lied to child supporyMaybe offer to settle, but for less CS than you are already paying, and more parenting time for you. She should be penalized for lying to the courts, maybe you can make it advantagous to you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/10/24 09:42 PM |
| 2 | Exwife's most recent disaster. The fix? Get money out of ex-husband!That's ridiculous. You're absolutely right, you'd only get supervised visitation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/24 04:37 PM |
| 2 | Exwife's most recent disaster. The fix? Get money out of ex-husband!Sounds like the children would be better off full time with you. Maybe push that? | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/24 03:49 PM |
| 1 | After mediation in WA (no-fault state): 56% and $3,700 per month to herIt held up. Already past the appeal time so I should be good. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 01:35 PM |
| 3 | Saw my ex-wife on a dating app.Should have swiped right. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 04:11 AM |
| 5 | After mediation in WA (no-fault state): 56% and $3,700 per month to herI got lucky and somehow got my ex wife to sign a postnup a few months before I filed for divorce (I didn't want a divorce, but she was mentally unstable and I saw it coming). This saved me hundreds of thousands in my divorce. I would never again risk it, I will for sure get a prenup if I ever am dumb enough to marry again. Got lucky once, wouldn't count on it a second time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 03:55 AM |
| 9 | What a bizarre end to a marriage.She was seeing this guy well before leaving you. Then after leaving you, two years later, they had a fight, she threatened to message you, so she did. They've now "reconciled" so she stopped messaging you again. This is all speculation, but good chance it's true. You deserve better, stop thinking about her, and get out there and meet someone better. Shouldn't be hard to do better than her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 03:49 AM |
| 5 | “The spark is gone” is a poor reason to leave a marriage.I agree with you, unfortunately your wife just wanted to fuck other men. She's just a hoe, forget about her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 03:43 AM |
