| 1 | Need opinions of divorced menNothing. The only mistake was asking this question first on r/Divorce. A lot of toxic jaded and lealous women over there. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/25 07:05 PM |
| 1 | My (40M) relationship with my wife (38F) is probably over. How to move on? What to do?Exact same situation (no cancer but she had her health scares - everything came out ok eventually), also got 2 properties I will inherit, but it may take 20 years for that to happen. If you find a solution to your problem, let me know, because I'm also lost. Sometimes when she gave me shit I used to say - look, I don't go out, I don't drink, smoke (though I started smoking last year due to relationshiop stress), gamble, cheat, I'm an engaged parent, I cook and clean, I put all my energy into the… | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/25 10:57 AM |
| 1 | To those broken by their divorceKinda hard to "man up" since I'll be homeless (wife can't pay me out if I don't want my kids to be homeless too), no friends, no family support, can't take primary custody of kids due to my long work hours, I also have no free weekends. Literally have nobody to talk to except a guy behind a bar. I will not delete myself but I guess next 20 years will not be the fun bachelor lifestyle, women and fast cars, more like nonstop grinding to make ends meet without any emotional support from anyone. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/25 10:40 AM |
| 2 | 2nd wife?”Lol, this. Never would I let a woman sleep over, let alone move her in or marry again. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/25 10:30 AM |
| 1 | Ex moving out and buying a home a block away from where I live!I was thinking doing the same. Either very close or in the same plot with a living container. Got no other options due to financial issues. Bad idea? I've got small kids and want to be close to them. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/25 10:25 AM |
| 1 | Cohabitation survivalMine had it after she mentioned divorce for the second time, first time being serious. Lasted month and a half, best sex ever, best loving wife ever then went into the worst version of herself I don't even reccognize anymore. Cold, distant, snappy, rebellious, disinterested, vindictive and sometimes even mean and cruel. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/03/25 05:47 PM |
| 1 | Am I in a toxic marriage?Therapist is doing nothing for me, went to one for the first time in my life, he just listened to my vent for an hour and asked me why don't I just leave (small kids, no place to go, would financially ruin us both), then offered me antidepressants which I refused since I'm in a good mood when not around her. Feeling like you said, she's putting ever so more pressure on me like she wants me to eventually break and leave. Now she started to wake me up after a shift when I had only 2 hours of sleep… | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/03/25 10:41 AM |
| 1 | Am I in a toxic marriage?Hello me! Minus the screaming wife. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/03/25 10:24 AM |
| 2 | When men say they don't care how much she makesWomen usually don't choose men who earn (have) less than themselves and usually don't respect those men much (you lack ambition, etc.) since she will be very liberal in spending money on herself and you have to top that to impress her. Just because she earns more doesn't mean you will have more money as a couple (her money is her money, your money is also her money) and because of their awful money management (hello credit card debt) you'll probably have to bail her out here and there. I don't l… | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/03/25 01:35 PM |
| 6 | Confirmation She Was a NagMy wife is the same. Gives me 8 chores to do (mostly involving her needs) from 7-15 because she's "tired" then throws a fit if I refuse to do 1 of those just because of her unrealistic time management. But still has the energy to go on a concert that same evening. Noticed her requests became orders in fact. And even if I do all she asks there's no positive feedback and she'll find a reason to be cold and passive agressive for a week. And if I'm sick, she'll fake surprised voice ask me 10x "You'r… | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/03/25 10:12 AM |
| 1 | When did you know the marriage was over?Tried it (3 days). Almost killed myself driving on the way back - she was on the toilet when I came home and went on a girls night out that evening. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/03/25 08:49 AM |
| 2 | When did you know the marriage was over?Mine refused because "I just want validation from the therapist about my version of truth", when I said the ongoing strained situation was giving me mental problems and driving me into depression and panic attacs, she casually said "Well, you'll take pills if needed". I absolutely refuse to take antidepressants and have gone in neutral mode, focusing on kids and work, but she's getting more cold and distant by the day, and I'm just waiting for her to either cheat and/or try to kick me out of the… | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/03/25 08:47 AM |
| 1 | When did you know the marriage was over?Same story as yours. The person I knew or I thought I knew stopped existing after coming home from the hospital with the first child. 5 years of quiet desperation, and bringing up my issues about lack of sex and intimacy, my physical or mental health made her lash out with words I never believed I would hear after investing everything in this relationship. She's the victim in her head and I don't deserve even a "good night" after a long hard day at work. My marriage died the day I stopped being … | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/03/25 08:39 AM |
| 1 | Tough time this morningI'll be "free" at 70yo, lol. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/03/25 02:22 PM |
| 1 | Tough time this morningThankfully I don't live in the US and will be stuck for "only" 25 years of increasing child support. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/03/25 02:22 PM |
| 3 | Can't help but chuckle...did it happen to you?Yes, my wife wanted an own car so I couldn't "blackmail her with use of mine" (as she told to a friend). I paid almost half for it to help her out, and 1/4 of the car's worth in repairs the first week she bought the piece of shit. She still drives my car, never puts gas in it and just recently scraped the whole side off a wall without even an apology. Joke's on me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/03/25 01:39 PM |
| 5 | My honest wife liedBro, your marriage is over. When you're at home crying yourself to sleep remember she'll be spirtually finding herself on a new dick. Going through something similar myself, my honest wife started being very secretive with her phone, pins changed, girls nights every week. See you at the gym. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/03/25 01:34 PM |
| 6 | Tough time this morningOut of the town, "finding herself". C'mon bro, you know what's going on. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/03/25 01:28 PM |
| 2 | Considering divorce amicably, disagreement is on having kids. Tips to get to amicable?Yeah, as a father of two I also don't particulary like other people's kids but I love mine. It's not quite the same being around kids and having your own. Not trying to pressure you into parenting (since you're 41) but it's not quite the same. My friend who never wanted any but had two by "accidental" pregnancy is probably my best friend now just because it matured him compared to my other childless 40+ friends who are mentally still stuck in high school. But if you don't want any it's only fair… | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/03/25 02:11 PM |
| 1 | Ex wife divorced me. I feel so lost with no purpose in life.You weren't, she played the resourse extraction game. Stay away from single moms. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/03/25 10:26 AM |
| 1 | Familiar StoryLol, she had a maid, 2 gardeners, a dog walker and continues to live in his 1.5£ million home, while he moved back with his 80yo parents. A classic. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/03/25 04:44 PM |
| 2 | Marriage is DeadYeah, the "you runied my life" and "I wish I never met you" come after a month of their dissatisfaction while you've been living the quiet desperation for the last 5 years. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/03/25 04:05 PM |
| 1 | Marriage is DeadI'll be 45 this year and I look 30. Why? Because men my age look like they could be my father. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/03/25 02:48 PM |
| 6 | Oh gentlemen, how I hate my lifeSame buddy, same. Mine lost it in the first month after I gave my 110% percent. Never recovered. 2nd pregnancy and 1st baby year and I'm asking myself was this person ever sane. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/03/25 03:47 PM |
| 1 | TrappedBetter to invest money into early intervention therapy for the kid. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/03/25 11:56 AM |
| 1 | TrappedNot sure how old your son is but probably ~1-1.5 year old maybe, since he's not hitting the early milestones. The sleeping will get better as he grows up, it's just a very demanding phase. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/03/25 11:55 AM |
| 1 | How long should I wait before I try to meet someone again?Right. Women usually have a guy on the side while still married, and guys are told to work on themselves for years before even considering dating. Just don't move her in/marry the first woman you bang. When I was young, the best recipe to get out of depression from a breakup was another girl. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/03/25 11:50 AM |
| 4 | Oh gentlemen, how I hate my lifeSadly, there's always another guy. They don't leave you until they are secure enough they won't need you anymore. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/03/25 12:54 PM |
| 1 | This woman is about to announce she's divorcing her husband but he doesn't suspect - does this sound familiar?She's still have to do everything she does now plus his man chores and with less money. They all think there's a prince on a white horse just waiting for middle aged divorced mums to feed other man's kids. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/03/25 08:36 PM |
| 1 | This woman is about to announce she's divorcing her husband but he doesn't suspect - does this sound familiar?Well, that's an echo chamber of discontent wifes, so no surprises there. So as far as I can see, guy expects his wife to be sexy for him and likes to eat his favorite meals. What a monster. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/03/25 08:34 PM |
| 1 | “MY Children are My Life”Only 5th? You got lucky. Means you are still above her work, pets, Netlix, cooking shows and TikTok. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/03/25 11:14 AM |
| 3 | I could really use some adviceYour wife does nothing that any other woman you move in with wouldn't do too. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/25 02:42 PM |
| 1 | I'm hurtCried once, in a previous relationship. It's hard when you're at your lowest and your whole world is coming apart and the other side is cold and feels only pity or disgust. There's always another guy. Or infinite guys. Spent a year recovering while she forgot I ever existed the same week. She's divorced twice now, childless, her looks faded, can't hold a job. She did me a great favor, and I was too blind then to see. Give it time brother, and make the best of the rest of your life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/25 12:26 PM |
| 1 | 6 Month Field ReportAt work - I work with women mostly, in bars if I go for a drink after work. Being attractive, confident and rocking a heavy metal style is like a magnet for young girls. Even older women 50+ are very touchy and flirty with me. Idk man, probably something with a ring on my finger and mate pre-selection. I'm wondering myself why they like me 10x better now than 20 years before. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/25 08:24 AM |
| 3 | I am getting worse, not betterIn time your son will see the truth and understand, you just need to hold on for him and be patient. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/03/25 10:37 PM |
| 1 | Some question regarding seperationThis is a fact I learned in my previous relationships where they wanted to dump me and I was just blindsided and gonna try harder to prove my eternal love for them. Yeah, I was young and dumb. This ended by them saying just looking at me made them sick and other wonderful stuff. And there was always another guy the next weekend. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/03/25 10:18 AM |
| 2 | Some question regarding seperationOdds are she has an affair with someone at her work. They never ever leave a non abusive relationship if they don't have someone else already to replace you. The "I love you but I'm not in love with you" is just female bs to keep you docile and useful until she is ready to move out of your life completely and forget you ever existed. And when she does and you spend months or years wondering "does she sometimes regrets it and thinks about me?", she doesn't. Start working on yourself and your next… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/03/25 10:12 AM |
| 1 | 6 Month Field ReportI'm glad for you brother. I'm not yet divorced (probably will be if this current situation continues) but found myself is some of your descriptions of your marriage. I'm a fairly attractive guy in my mid 40s but people give me 10-15 years less and I get approached by younger women a lot. It's only my wife that doesn't find me attractive. Just got back from work after a 14 hour shift to provide for her and the kids and she unlocked the door and left for the bathroom before I could enter, then wen… | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/03/25 11:34 PM |
| 2 | After 20 years she blindsides me with “i dont want to be married anymore”About 9 months ago, I said Ok, and then she "forgot" about it and was normal for 3 weeks we were on vacation. The first day we were home she went into her usual unhappy self. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/03/25 03:59 PM |
| 1 | Listen you fucks!Not suicidal yet, but I got nowhere to go. No friends or support of any kind. The shrink doesn't help. I'm in a constant existential crisis due to not being able to pay for my share and loss of security in my own newly bought home that can be taken from me on a whim. Constantly in debt due to my flexible job and her management of my time. I just barely sleep, babysit, work and pay bills. Alimony and getting my own dump of a place (probably a room with a shared toilet) would ruin me for the next … | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/03/25 09:41 PM |
| 3 | After 20 years she blindsides me with “i dont want to be married anymore”Almost like I'm writing this. Zero empathy for my physical and mental health after 20 years. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/03/25 09:23 PM |
| 2 | After 20 years she blindsides me with “i dont want to be married anymore”I guess soon I will be walking in your shoes. I used to make 2x her salary but being an idiot and agreeing to babysit my younger kid to help her career and her complete management of my time brought me down to 1/2 of her wage at best, next to zero at worst. She has ticked every checkbox on walkaway wife syndrome in the last year and a half. 44m, 39f, 2 kids 5 and 1. Barely any sex since the first was born, no intimacy, empathy, support at all and now barely any communication for the last year if… | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/03/25 09:18 PM |
