17	Angelina Jolie walks away $80 million richer after Brad Pitt divorce Based on how family courts operate, boys and young men need to be taught that there is huge risk and life changing consequences if they pick the wrong woman. No one can understand the reality of family court until they’ve been through it. In my experience the two lawyers and various judges collaborated to drag the process out over a number of years to extract all my savings and then set up my ex with a pension to be funded by me so that her lifestyle can be maintained. The system is screwed but …	/r/MensRights	04/01/25 01:37 PM
2	I’m losing my kids to a world of feminism Just keep being a good Dad and they will form their own opinions. My daughter has been telling me about privileges and opportunities at school that only the girls have access too. She’s questioning this, asking why is it not available to boys. About four girls’ only programs at school she said ‘kids just want to learn and have fun, why can’t everyone do it.’ The pendulum has swung too far and the kids, including girls, are seeing the unequal treatment and opportunities. Change takes time and the…	/r/MensRights	13/12/24 11:23 PM
13	“Patriarchy hurts men too” Does anyone know where the patriarchy meets? I’d like to submit a complaint, my ex gets to work part time while I pay an exorbitant amount to support her lifestyle. Wondering why the patriarchy set things up this way.	/r/MensRights	15/11/24 06:55 PM

4	Men May Be Better Off Staying Single Given the Potential Risks of Marriage No shit, the risks are huge. Family court is guilty until proven innocent. And when proven innocent it’s still an up hill battle. Total BS	/r/MensRights	11/08/24 03:14 AM
5	daughter prefers mom At that age it’s natural she’ll be close with Mom. Make your time with her great, that doesn’t mean extravagance, but quality time. Whatever are her interests make them your interests. Never put down her interests, if she likes Peppa Pig you like Peppa Pig and you sit and watch with her. Do this and the relationship will expand.	/r/Divorce_Men	19/07/24 08:30 PM
8	Collaborative Divorce failure The problem is the divorce industry is a dinosaur and is still operating under the assumption that Mom is the caregiver and Dad is the financial resource provider. Every other area of society is very focused on equality these days, expect Family Law of course.	/r/Divorce_Men	18/07/24 07:59 PM
2	Why do I have homicidal feelings? Don’t do anything regrettable, the system thrives off that. Remember, if you do anything like this it’s more ammunition for the system to treat fathers like second class parents. Work out and run until you can’t any longer. Then contact your state and federal representatives to share your concerns. It’s a small effort but most suffer in silence so nothing ever changes.	/r/Divorce_Men	15/07/24 10:55 PM
11	Can’t forget my wife’s words… Legally she may not be able to do it but she can make your life a living hell while you try navigate the absurd family law system.

14	How much money did you lose during the process of divorce? Family court is a national disgrace, everyone knows all the BS is about money but no one says it.. Five years and counting and the child are never discussed, it’s all about false allegations and money. It’s a BS process sponsored by the government on behalf of the lawyer.	/r/Divorce_Men	28/06/24 01:59 AM
7	How much did you spend? $150K and the lawyer fucked up the paperwork at what was supposed to be to be the final court appearance. It’s now delayed a year, no money left, fired the lawyer. Trying to do it myself now. The child support office and ex’s lawyer want blood and the system doesn’t care. No one cares about the children, it’s been all about the money. I am nearly broken, how is that “the best interests of the children”. Health in major decline due to stress. The system is rigged to make the lawyers rich and does…	/r/Divorce_Men	13/06/24 02:25 AM
1	A letter to my Lawyer Family law lawyer’s expertise is in dragging things out as long as possible and creating as much conflict as possible. That way they can take all your money, it’s a legal way to rob you. But really they need to, how else would the afford the new Mercedes?	/r/Divorce_Men	16/05/24 01:23 PM
4	This is my reality now It takes time, small success each day equals success over the long term. You say you want to be single the rest of your life, this assumes there is risk in relationships. You can control for risk by picking the right people to get involved with. You said your ex is selfish, is this a trait that suddenly appeared or was it always there but you ignored it? Look for red flags, a little bit of selfishness in the beginning will only get worse overtime. If you see this in the early stages be sure to p…	/r/Divorce_Men	06/05/24 01:55 PM

48	Men aren't allowed to show anger or convey they're upset Correct. I was advised in family court a man appearing angry is considered dangerous whereas a woman angry in family court is considered to be protecting her children. Similarly, a man crying in family court shows he’s unstable but if a woman is crying it’s because the man did something to her.	/r/MensRights	20/02/24 12:47 PM

Only engage in communication about the kids matters, nothing personal, nothing emotional. As long as you communicate about other matters, it’s going to be very difficult to get her out of your mind.	/r/Divorce_Men	13/02/24 03:28 AM
1	Men who won their divorce Man, $31K and 10 months is a light sentence compared to most of us that still didn’t get 50:50. Chill out, play it cool, be the best Dad to your kids. Request the house to be sold, get your payout. If your incomes are comparable and you’ve got 50:50 the financials should be reasonable. Play the long game.	/r/Divorce_Men	10/02/24 03:36 AM
20	This one is rough Men need to stop assuming a relationship is forever. It’s pushed on us to make a life commitment and put all our eggs in one basket when chances are it will end. Marriage is the biggest gamble of your life and the odds aren’t great. I’m not saying it’s not worth pursuing, but protect yourself so that it doesn’t ruin your life.	/r/Divorce_Men	10/02/24 03:29 AM
4	Men are you okay with Woman on this sub commenting and posting? I don’t know, if a woman chimes in with some helpful input and wisdom, that’s all good. However, emotional rants about the patriarchy, etc. are not cool. I’ve got to say overall the posts on this form are generally respectful, in my opinion. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for the women’s specific forms I’ve seen…there’s a lot of hate there. Great to see it hasn’t been an issue here.	/r/Divorce_Men	10/02/24 12:08 AM
1	Support You’ll find lots of good advice here, one thing you can do that will get immediate results is exercise or get any physical activity. It’s always recommended for depression and other mood/mental difficulties. It may feel impossible to start but overtime it gets easier.	/r/Divorce_Men	09/02/24 01:44 PM
3	I am shocked there aren't enough crimes and people killing lawyers and their exes In retrospect I find it very questionable that the first thing my lawyer asked for is a statement of all my financial accounts. Then over the next five years she extracted all my liquid assets. The lawyers work consisted of a total of maybe 8 hours in court and the rest of the work was essentially emailing, phone calling, and completing court paperwork. No other profession could operate like this.	/r/Divorce_Men	08/02/24 01:45 PM
12	I am shocked there aren't enough crimes and people killing lawyers and their exes The lawyers are biggest problem with the system. I was shocked when I saw lawyers can lie and present false information and it's totally acceptable. If lawyers could be removed from the process separations would be way less contentious.	/r/Divorce_Men	08/02/24 12:09 PM

Your daughter will want that and and it seems to be what you want. Back off on the work, then let your wife know it’s time for her to pull her financial weight. Then see what happens.

I’m definitely ordering a peely figure after seeing yours. I want to get new skins, the mr. beast skin would be awesome.

It’s a deep hole, people have gotten out and on the other side see that their mindset at the time was mixed up. The brain needs a reset sometimes. But I don’t know your situation, it must have been awful to get to this point. Talk to someone close to you, or just anyone, it will be difficult, but you’d want them to do the same with you. Depression is an invisible monster that t…	/r/Divorce_Men	02/02/24 04:01 AM

Simplify things, crank your favourite music, scream, cry, whatever…if you have nothing left and feel destroyed drop all that sh’t you’ve got on your shoulders. Expectations in life can get all messed up, find a way to reset. Be a strategic warrior and fight for your life.	/r/Divorce_Men	02/02/24 02:00 AM
3	How do you get a sense of worth back? She’s just one person in billions of others. There’s no way she was the only one for you. You’re worth more than that. It’s just time to do the hard work of rebuilding and you’ll come out wiser and stronger guaranteed. And for the next woman you’re with, hope for the best but remember she could walk at anytime and if she does you’ll have the character to over come it.	/r/Divorce_Men	02/02/24 01:46 AM
2	When does it get easier? That sounds really tough, it will get better in time, maybe try to focus on having small success each day and over time it will add up. Being rich or being the best looking guy won’t fix things, I’ve found it’s all about personality. You say you’re making new friends, sounds like you’ve got a likeable personality, that’s a huge asset right there, possibly more important than money and looks. Keep doing the good things you’re doing and life will probably bring you some pleasant surprises that you…	/r/Divorce_Men	02/02/24 12:40 AM

12	Son is hurting himself as a result of divorce That’s so tough, I’m not an expert but I’d think your son needs to see you strong and stable, give him huge love and attention. Make his interests your interests, or at least pretend. Whether it’s video games, Pokémon, or anything else, allow him to share his world with you. Let him be the expert and teach you about his interests. This will build his confidence and bonding with you. Do not criticize his behaviour or interests, reinforce positive behaviour and don’t allow him to think he’s not me…	/r/Divorce_Men	31/01/24 01:51 AM
1	Broken and confused 100% agree. Over the span of humanity, and even in the animal world, male and female relationships are vital for survival, not to mention improving quality of life, social, and health outcomes. We’re in a place and time where the social structure doesn’t necessitate male and female relationships and it’s possible, one could argue quite likely, that the person you devote yourself to in life will walk away one from you one day.

11	Broken and confused Sorry you’re experiencing this, it really is difficult. After five years since separating I think I understand why it happens in the way you describe today. Back in the day, say 50 or more years ago, marriage was almost necessary for survival in some ways. Women needed a working man to put a roof over her head and food on the table and a man needed a wife if he wanted a family. Today women are capable of meeting their own needs, but generally men still need a woman if they want a family. So men …	/r/Divorce_Men	30/01/24 07:24 PM

11	What are some signs you saw in the beginning but ignored that later contributed to the reason to your divorce She was very competitive and would not apologize when she insulted me and belittled me. She created conflict with my family and friends. She had unhealthy relationships with her family which is probably the number one red flag. She used sex to manipulate me and get her way. These are just a few, after being married it slowly got worse and worse.	/r/Divorce_Men	25/01/24 03:36 AM
14	Regrets This is very important advice, plan for the worst, hope for the best. Make sure you are 50/50 parenting schedule now, if that’s what you want. Once she realizes what divorce really means it will all be about money, this is almost for certain. Don’t give her emotion, be rock solid, don’t argue, don’t fight, be the level headed one, and assert you interest. Small missteps can turn into major problems. The road ahead may be difficult, surround yourself with family and friends and continue being the…	/r/Divorce_Men	25/01/24 03:21 AM
4	just read a news article in Canada that feminist want to block "parental alienation" as a reason for dads to have more visitation.

5	Be honest did anybody cheat at their bachelor party if so to what extent? No, I think that’s a thing of the past or perhaps it’s an urban legend pushed on us by Hollywood. It seems to be a thing that happens in movies but I’ve been to bachelor parties and it never actually happens. Plus, if you need to sleep with someone at your bachelor party, why the hell are you marrying a person.	/r/Divorce_Men	22/01/24 08:56 PM

I’ve talked with men that divorced decades ago and are happily married now but they told me the atrocities inflicted by the family court process destroyed a part of them permanently. That’s heavy stuff but I’m five years out and find it’s likely true.

No matter how hard it is know that she is no longer your partner or emotional support, knowing this will help to heal the wounds and protect you from emotional distress. She is just another person, treat her as you would someone in a business relationship, respectful but not emotional, stick to the facts and assert your interests.

9	The sad reality I’ve faced: there is zero justice in all of this. Relationship and marriage commitment means absolutely nothing if either party changes their mind. Men are taught to honour and protect their partner indefinitely and unconditionally, this is unhealthy and dangerous. No one tells you this when you’re young. Culture and the entertainment industry tell us a story about finding a life partner and living happily ever after, we all believe it but it’s not true, for most people anyways.

This totally happened to me, in the background she was working with a lawyer and laying the ground work for false domestic violence allegations. It took five years and $150K to over come the allegations, there was no evidence as nothing ever happened yet it turned my life upside down and cost my life savings…and she walks away with no repercussions and I get to pay her support every month for the next 10 years or so. False allegations to gain an upper hand in divorce should be a crime.	/r/Divorce_Men	28/12/23 02:39 PM
3	Need advice she keeps bring up divorce. I don't want one. This is incredible advice, it’s balanced but you’ve got your bases covered. If she’s talking like this you can’t fully trust her. Cover your ass, be the great dad that you are, and don’t get pulled into the drama, they create the drama and then point the finger at you. Stay calm, if it goes south you’ve got a back up plan coming together.

It’s drained me completely and I couldn’t imagine the stress of going to court over a potential relocation. I’ve been constantly on the defensive from vindictive actions, it’s a nightmare.

I think you hit the nail on the head, liberals, and the further left, are all about accommodating and elevating groups they see are discriminated against. However, the data shows men are falling behind big time across many indicators, resulting in major social problems, and yet the democrats in the US and liberals in Canada will never recognize the discrimination against men.

When a father is left without their child, not the slightest concern, nothing…not surprising but so wrong.	/r/MensRights	10/02/23 10:40 PM
3	Introduction and a vent. Sorry for ya man, it sucks, it really does. But the good thing is there are many others that have gone through it all before and came out the other end, better off too…and you can learn from them on this forum, youtube, books, etc. In short, I can outline the life strategy that I’ve distilled from a lot of work. Others will likely have some version of this framework, but many of the basics will be the same. Here it is: Deal with any past or present trauma. Identify it, manage it, and it might me…	/r/MensRights	27/09/22 03:21 AM
1	have any of you had to give up on your hobbies and interests to keep the peace between you and your wife? Been there, done that…wife didn’t like me enjoying anything outside of the relationship/family. As a result all hobbies and friendships were cancelled. This is unsustainable and will only get worse as you will come to resent each other. Consider options and calmly explain your feelings. If she’s reasonable she will see you need personal time. If she’s controlling and toxic she will want to take it as an opportunity to fight. Depending on the outcome consider if this is really the person that you…	/r/MensRights	29/08/22 07:35 PM
5	What made you wanna stand up for mens rights/join this sub. Two words, family court. There is no worse experience to go through all because you are a dad that loves your children. Shout out to all the fathers that have been through it and those living it now. Stay strong, love your children, and one day things will change.	/r/MensRights	22/07/22 03:19 AM
1	Update to “my wife abused me and called the police” Agreeing with others, if this has occurred it’s likely not a one-off event and could be part of a larger plan she is unfolding. If you stay take lots of precautions and be very careful. Also fully document this event. If you are seeing a counsellor tell them the situation and have them document so when you end up in court this is on the record and they can be called as a witness. If you’re not seeing a counsellor and have EAP at work document through that service.	/r/MensRights	19/07/22 08:26 PM
2	Are masks now a symbol of compliance slavery? I don’t think this topic is relevant to men’s rights. While this appears to be an important issue for OP I feel this type of content will detract from the legitimacy of the mens’ rights discussion. Masks are voluntary in the majority of situations and comparing mask wearing to slavery is unreasonable and will make the mens’ rights movement appear ignorant and entitled. We can do better men!	/r/MensRights	18/07/22 06:01 PM
3	A horrible but common story. It’s a hard read for parents in the same position. The title says it all “a horrible but common story”. Why is it so common and why has nothing changed?	/r/MensRights	06/07/22 06:24 PM
1	the lack of empathy this sub is showing in regards to Roe V Wade is making question whether you really want equality. As a man I am supportive of abortion rights but I also find it peculiar that very few people and even fewer politicians, want to talk about men’s rights to have proper parenting access to their children following separation. In most western countries if the mother contests a father’s ability to parent it takes approximately $150K and two years of hell to try and obtain proper parenting access through the court system. How come this situation is not in the headlines? Why does no one care about th…	/r/MensRights	27/06/22 03:49 AM
7	one of big reason why men don't want to date anymore I grew up feeling guilt and shame for being a man and understanding that women can do no wrong. This was perpetuated in my former marriage where I was routinely lectured about the patriarchy and how it was my fault as a man. This is nothing short of abuse but it is hard to rid myself of the mindset. There are good and bad people of both genders but that is not what society tells us.	/r/MensRights	09/06/22 02:17 PM
2	UK: Calling a man 'bald' is sex harassment after employment tribunal compares it to commenting on a woman's breasts It’s about time, such a double standard….woman comments on a bald guy, no worries, have a laugh…man comments on an obese woman, look out, you in big trouble now	/r/MensRights	13/05/22 03:38 AM
1	My girlfriend is trying to get me to get a vasectomy I’ve had issues with mine. Five years out still have pain sometimes and things just haven’t been right since. My ex wife also requested that I get it done indicating she would be more interested in sex. That never happened and then she asked me to leave while she took our kids, the house, the car, and decimated the family finances. I am now 2.5 years into a nightmare separation having spent $70k on a lawyer to basically do clerical work and nothing has really happened yet.	/r/MensRights	03/05/22 08:58 PM
