Things got easier when the youngest got into kindergarten. Until then, I kept my expectations low and jut lived a day at a time. I hope you both get help.

| 1 | How does this happen. Wife want divorce after 25 years marriagetwo things: 1) women initiate 80% of divorces, 2) it's likely that she's is "happy", but feels someone else will make her even happier. However, no one can "make" someone else happy. Each of us is responsible for our own happiness, and a husband cannot fix a wife's unhappiness. Also, men are happier in marriages than the typical woman. Lesbian divorce rates average 75-78%, and gay men are about 38%. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/05/24 01:26 PM |

| 2 | Why wasn't the relationship worth fighting for?I've wondered the same for myself. What I notice is that her girlfriends started divorcing and made dating sound exciting. Trips, expensive dinners, sex. That's her influence now. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/05/24 12:54 PM |

| 8 | What would you doHire an attorney for divorce, and a financial advisor. You'll learn a lot when your wife has to disclose her assets. Remove her from joint accounts. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/05/24 08:00 PM |
| 1 | Trying to make it workYou've voiced your concerns. She understood them. And is doing nothing. She won't change because you want her to, but only when she sees it in her own best interest. Talk to your attorney, and let go with love. Move on - you have done what you can, and the rest is her choice. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/05/24 07:23 PM |
| 5 | Is it normal for a law office to ask for a fee for the first hour consultation? This is regarding Divorce.Yes, it's common. Consult with the ones that you want to prevent your STBXW from using. Once they consult with you, then they can't engage with her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/05/24 07:08 PM |

| 6 | What do I do?She has a history of avoiding the truth and misleading you. She wants to meet men and so she did. I'm not sure you can trust her again unless she has a massive change in her perspective. Through her deeds she has shown you want she wants, and who she is. Believe her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/05/24 01:57 PM |
| 3 | Tonight is the first night I felt like filing for divorceDoes she not demonstrate vulnerability with you? Without V, she won't be able to reflect on her behavior an own her faults, nor will she be able to have difficult conversations. She will stay in victim mode and blame everyone else for problems she made. I don't envy you. Good luck, and prioritize your daughter's well being. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/05/24 01:49 PM |
| 3 | Legal Bro: How do I protect my assest in the future?Create a trust. Not in your Mom's name. There are companies that do this. Get a prenup, or don't get married. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/05/24 11:08 PM |
| 8 | Lawyers when the divorce is friendly.It sounds like you are being fair. I'm surprised that you feel sympathy for the woman that is breaking up your home and cutting your time with your children to 50%. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/05/24 10:57 PM |
| 5 | In-Law IntimidationStay strong. Have a witness with you for every conversation, and record conversations per your state’s restrictions. Over communicate your boundaries and keep your emotions in check. This sucks. I feel for you. Personally, I’d tell my own FIL that if he ever touches me again, I’ll knock him out. That’s a promise I make to myself. My own FIL isn’t the type, though. Good guy. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/05/24 03:29 AM |

| 8 | Ex wife circles back 5 years later.My stbxw also said “it’s up to you to make me fall in love with you”. And she bailed from the couples counseling I setup for us. When my divorce is final, I will tell her that I don’t want to hear her voice, see her face, or receive a text from her for 6 months. That’s what I’m buying with my money. Peace. I hope you cut off your ex. She’s shown you that she will cheat you and doesn’t take accountability for her behavior. Believe her actions. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/05/24 05:27 PM |

| 2 | Sex, pickup, faith, dating paradigms etcYou add an important point. Ask her if her love language is touch. And I come by this knowledge after a lot of suffering and self reflection, and TONS of books. Wish I'd known these things before I married. Gook luck to you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/05/24 12:17 AM |
| 4 | Sex, pickup, faith, dating paradigms etcask how they fight, what they fight about, and how they repair. Do they share their expectations, or let them go unmet and unstated and fester into resentment? Do they "own" their behavior and solutions, or play the victim and blame others for their actions and feelings? Are they kind by choice and not due to emotion? Does she like men? No, really like and respect men? HAS SHE RESOLVED HER CHILDHOOD TRAUMA(S)??? Does she have boundaries to check her behavior against others? Is she grateful and a… | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/24 10:13 PM |

| 11 | Would you ever think about trying again?Marriage is only good for children, and financially good for woman. I've had my kids, and might marry again but only if she signs my prenup. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/24 02:06 PM |
| 3 | When did you know it was time?When I found a diary I didn't know she had, and wasn't labeled as a diary. She had a checklist of things to do (join a dating site, check!; find soulmate - incomplete). Losing her hasn't been a big deal, it's just the idea of what we could have been together. Apparently I'm an unrealistic romantic. Good luck on your journey. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/24 02:04 PM |
| 7 | GriefTherapy. Saying the serenity prayer, and praying for guidance. And hiring an attorney. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/24 02:01 PM |
| 2 | Took Her Less Than Two Months To Find Another ManShe started dating to get a feel for if she "can to better". It's likely that she was happy, but thought another man could make her happier. Once she felt she'd found this guy, she asks for a divorce. Her attorney is the one pushing her to ask for more money. I'm sorry for the loss of your home, for the loss of what you thought was a marriage, and so happy your daughter is with you. I wish you a speedy recovery. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/05/24 06:41 PM |
| 5 | Why do they look sad?You can't fix her. I wouldn't even try to diagnose. She wants a life free of you. Give that to her, and more importantly, give that to yourself. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/05/24 06:33 PM |
| 1 | Mother's dayAgreed | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/05/24 05:43 PM |

| 1 | RantFeminism is driving some of this. My suggestion is to make sure you aren't oversharing, and don't repeat yourself or play the victim. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 05:18 PM |
| 1 | ForgivenessI've forgiven my STBXW. She did the best she could for the skills she had. Forgiveness is really a benefit to you, that you give to yourself. Good luck. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 05:11 PM |
| 2 | Why do they get so angry and destructive when most of the time they’re the ones leaving?Maybe she needs to feel that she isn't the cause of this, isn't the one "at fault". So who does she blame then? She might say, "I've really tried. I've done all that I can". That's just a lack of accountability. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 02:50 AM |

| 1 | Do I need a divorce?Thank you, and as Al-Anon has taught me about other's alcoholism - I didn't cause it, I can't control it, and I can't cure it. I've chosen to let go with love. If she wants to blame me, I let her. If she wants to drink very night, I "let" her. Etc. What I can do is save myself and move on, and let go of resentment and lower my expectations. Choices have consequences. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/05/24 03:53 PM |
