10	I feel I can definitively say my marriage is done Wow, this really resonates with me. Same 17 years, same story. We did couples therapy for over a year, and in the end she was still bringing up arguments that ended with divorce threats. At some point, I had to cut the cord. I couldn’t let it drag on indefinitely. Emotional regulation is one of the most important human qualities, and it was something I completely overlooked when getting married. I finally told our therapist the sessions were over because I wasn’t going to keep paying for somethi…	/r/Divorce_Men	09/08/25 03:13 PM
2	Need a 2nd opinion: should I give amicable separation a chance? Same boat here, man. My wife has also threatened to call the cops on me before, and I’ve been holding off on taking any steps toward divorce because of that exact fear. I spoke with my lawyer, and he told me very clearly: don’t engage, don’t argue, and record as much of your day-to-day as you can especially if you’re around her. He said this is unfortunately a common tactic in high-conflict separations, but the courts have seen enough false claims to know better. Judges don’t automatically side …	/r/Divorce_Men	18/07/25 02:04 PM
2	Fighting Back I’m really happy for you, man. I wish my wife would sign those papers too. Everything has been so hard during the marriage. I’m just hoping the divorce part turns out a little easier than what we’ve already been through.	/r/Divorce_Men	18/07/25 01:26 PM
6	Fighting Back Same situation here, man. You’re likely dealing with a narcissist or someone with BDP. I also work from home, half the day is work, the other half is raising the kids. I don’t get days off for years. I work 6 days a week, and on Sundays I’m full-time with the kids while she has “me time.” She’s never worked, yet somehow I’m still the villain in her eyes. The yelling, complaints, and criticism never stopped actually got worse. It didn’t matter how much I did around the house. I was even criticize…	/r/Divorce_Men	18/07/25 10:08 AM
2	⚠️ BIOHAZARD WARNING ⚠️ This is hands down the funniest thing I’ve read on Reddit in a while. Absolutely nailed it. The emotional contaminant classification and hazmat-grade boundaries part had me wheezing. Well done, sir you’ve turned trauma into tactical comedy gold.	/r/Divorce_Men	12/07/25 02:13 PM
11	Wife filed. It’s time to change your mindset now, or you’re going to get blindsided. Sacrifice and protecting your loved ones matter in a healthy marriage, not in one where your wife wants to kick you out for no clear reason. If you’re not careful, you could lose the house you paid for, end up paying alimony and child support, and watch her build a new life in your house while you show up on weekends to pick up the kids like a guest. You need to stop thinking emotionally and start acting strategically. Get …	/r/Divorce_Men	08/07/25 01:57 AM
10	When did you decide it was time. My first and foremost advice: never get involved in an affair while going through a divorce. It will only complicate the process, no matter how innocent the connection feels right now. Even non-physical relationships can be framed as emotional affairs, and that can be used against you both legally and emotionally. It can also hurt your children and impact custody or your image in court. Be honest with yourself and your connection. Let them know where you stand and that, for now, the most importa…	/r/Divorce_Men	05/07/25 01:04 AM
1	How can I manage to just not give a f Wow, I honestly felt like I wrote this myself. Same exact trigger here any form of negative discussion or interference in front of the kids just sets me off. And she knows it. It’s like the last card she has left to play when she’s losing control, and she uses it to prove to herself that she can still get under my skin. I even tried to establish that as a ground rule in our marriage no negative words or conflict in front of the kids. But guess what? That boundary became her nuclear weapon, saved…	/r/Divorce_Men	04/07/25 01:04 PM
6	I'm giving up, married for 10 years, don't feel loved or appreciated anymore. It sounds like you’ve been carrying the weight of this marriage on your shoulders for a long time, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling exhausted, disconnected, and questioning everything. But from what you’ve written, I don’t hear that your wife is abusive or malicious just that both of you may be stuck in a long-term rut of poor communication and unmet emotional needs. You say she cries and tells you she loves you when you bring these things up. That means there’s still something there.…	/r/Divorce_Men	03/07/25 11:33 AM
