| 1 | Wife just filed divorceI gave my ex wife half my pension check monthly until legally divorced. At tax time I got hit with paying taxes on the full amount instead of half.

| 1 | Early 30s is marriage worth it?I do regret it happened. But a marriage has to be built on trust. But I did have 3 daughters that I would not have had if not for that marriage. Unfortunately, its the only positive I can look back on now. Moving on at my age is difficult, but I have. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/11/25 02:39 AM |

| 3 | Early 30s is marriage worth it?Best to move on. I was married at 21. We got 43 years before shit hit the fan. But that being said you are already having different options on what you want. Not a good way to start. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/11/25 11:01 PM |
| 2 | If youre getting divorced because your wife walked out or cheated on you do you keep this private?And it is like a death. At least it felt that way for me. At least physical death you know 100 percent why . | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/11/25 06:33 PM |
| 2 | Trauma from divorce holding me back.There's probably good people doing on line dating. But lots of crazy and scammers too. Personally I found it depressing. Finally met a nice lady did work for. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/07/25 09:55 PM |

| 6 | For those of you dealing with cheating, how do you get over the anger?Anger gone. Still deal with disbelief that she'd betray me and our family. Takes time to get over it,at least for me. It was a long marriage, 42 years. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/06/25 12:53 PM |

| 2 | I moved out of our house today. 32 years togetherI was married 42 years when my ex cheated. Go figure. Anyway you got this. This is your time to live the life that you gave up being married. It's going hurt for a while though. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/06/25 10:22 PM |
| 3 | Unable to Move on- Ready to DieAny family that s had a suicide knows it's a life sentence for those left behind. Question s of why , why did we miss the signs. Why didn't he say something. This to shall pass. Get consuling. Don't let your legacy to your sons that you took yourself out. It will warp them for life. Get help. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/06/25 12:25 AM |

| 15 | Examples of ways you feel disrespected by your wife over the yearsI guess being there for her and our girls. Holding down a job for 40 years. Working overtime so we could have vacation s and decent cars. Try to find ways to help with her health issues. Never cheated or ever wanted to. You'd better ask her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/11/24 06:59 PM |
| 14 | Wife 45/F caught sexting then locked me up 45/M then had an affaire while kids were taken awaySo sad. I was cheated on by my now ex wife of 42 years. Lawyer up for sure. Your a adult and will be able to weather this storm . But my advice is make sure your son is OK. I can't imagine anything more devastating than a child seeing something like that of their mother . Get him consuling if you feel he needs it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/09/24 12:45 PM |
| 6 | STBX trying to threaten legal action to force me to delete all her nudesI deleted and trashed every picture I had of her. 42 years worth. Not just nudes but any picture she was in. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/09/24 03:37 PM |
| 11 | What do you do when you see their ghost?It's a confusing situation for you. I got divorced after 42 year marriage. For me there's no coming back from that. Can't and won't live with betrayal. But if she didn't cheat on me. I would have done my best to work it out. Only you know what's best. Good luck. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/09/24 12:26 AM |
| 8 | Getting a divorce at 70 years old - any advice?I was married 42 years. I'm now 67. She cheated on me 3 years ago for reasons she only knows. My advice. First, get a lawyer. Try to make your separation as equitable as possible. Get your own place. Focus on your well being and physical health. Forgive. And do not make any life changes for the first year on your own. You ll get thru this. Going to suck for a while. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Best of luck for you. Be strong. Take care of yourself. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/09/24 09:49 PM |
| 6 | How has social media impacted your marriage?Facebook was a catalyst for my ex wife to have a affair. She reached out to a old boyfriend from high school. She might have cheated anyway but Facebook made it easier. In my opinion. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/09/24 12:42 AM |
| 9 | What was the event that led to your divorce? Was it preventative?Infidelity. She could have by not cheating. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/09/24 12:22 AM |
| 3 | Fuck you. I'm still standing.Believe me when I say I understand. I do. Went thru the same thing you are now. It's a rough road ahead. But keep plugging away . Keep busy , mentally, physically, and spiritually. I read you should not get involved in a new relationship or make any big decisions for a year. I feel that good advice. I can actually say when I got divorced at 65 it was the first time in my life I was alone. It gets better every day. I'm traveling, hitting the gym and actually going on my first date this weekend. Y… | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/09/24 12:14 AM |
| 5 | Fuck you. I'm still standing.Thanks wasn't easy. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 09:28 PM |
| 6 | Fuck you. I'm still standing.No. Last I heard she moved in with her new soul mate. Last time I talked to her, couple years ago, I told her not to contact me unless it was a family emergency. They do both have adultery in common. Maybe it will work out for her. I don't care anymore. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 09:12 PM |
| 4 | Fuck you. I'm still standing.It definitely change my ex wife relationship with her daughters. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 08:13 PM |
| 6 | Fuck you. I'm still standing.Yes. It effects the whole family. It effects your friends as well. Divorce is one thing. Betrayal and infidelity is another. She has to ask herself was it worth it. And has to live with it as well. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 07:59 PM |
| 24 | Fuck you. I'm still standing.My marriage was alot like yours in many ways. Married high school sweetheart. Raised 3 beautiful daughters and have 4 grand children. Things went good for the first 30 years. Then life hit. She had chronic pain from car accident, both her parents came down with dementia at the same time. I went through it all with her. Trying to help out and support her anyway I could. But she started drinking alot more than ever. I kept thinking she was still dealing with the loss of her parents. 3 months befor… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 07:55 PM |
| 5 | Saw my ex-wife on a dating app.I thought about that many times. But didn't want to use the house of the Lord as a dating tool. Better to be alone than burn in hell for eternity. Lol 😆 | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/09/24 10:01 PM |

| 1 | ResentmentShe was. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/09/24 10:40 PM |
| 2 | Social mediaFacebook was no doubt a major contribution to my divorce. We had difficulty last few years dealing with aging parents, chronic pain with her. She reached out to a old high school boyfriend 4 state s away. No doubt he said all the right things. They hook up. Commit infidelity on their marriage s. Divorced her. At least they have adultery in common. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/09/24 01:41 AM |
| 24 | ResentmentThere's truth to that. I was married 42 years. The last few years we delt with her chronic pain from a car accident, her folks coming down with dementia at the same time and her brother and sister basically dis owning her because she had full power of attorney. I went through it with her. But I feel that since I was part of that time I became collateral damage. She found a old classmate on Facebook and had a affair. So we divorced. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/24 01:02 AM |
| 6 | It’s not what you thinkGod gives us freewill to make our own decisions. She decided to commit adultery. But my belief in God helps me get through it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/09/24 08:18 PM |
| 4 | Should I attend daughter's birthday party if ex brings her new boyfriend, or just have a separate one?As long as my ex wife is with the p.o.s she cheated with I won't be anywhere she is. We were married 42 years. Our daughter s are all grown up with children of thier own. My grandson graduate s from high school next year. Hopefully she will have the morals to not bring her new soul mate to his graduation ceremony. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/24 06:24 PM |
| 2 | How many of you who have daughters have trouble finding a new partner (gf and wife) ?Agree 100 percent. I got divorced after 42 years due to her infidelity. She got 50 percent of everything. No way I would risk losing what I have left on a second marriage. I do have 3 grown daughters. I know they will be very supportive if I ever find a companion. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/24 05:08 PM |
| 22 | How did you find out about the affair partner?She'd been acting differently for a while. I choked it up to dealing with aging parents and family drama. Can't remember why but confronted her about it. She let me look at her phone. And there it was. Indisputable evidence. Think she wanted to get caught. 42 year marriage over. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/08/24 12:32 AM |
| 3 | Does your ex still haunt your dreams?Was married 42 years. Can't say she's in my dreams but think about her every day. Probably will the rest of my life. I don't dwell on it anymore. She made her choice s. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/08/24 02:20 AM |
| 6 | How to deal with upcoming AnniversaryI was married 42 years. The first time the wedding anniversary can around naturally I thought about her. We had 42 of them . But listen to the advice your getting. No contact unless it involves children. Going to suck for a while. You have to create a new you. Best of luck. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/08/24 09:25 PM |

| 21 | What do you think people usually get wrong about you and your divorce?I felt embarrassed at first. Was married for 42 years. Everyone who knew us was shocked. I was too when I found out she was cheating. I still just shake my head when I think about it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/08/24 04:24 PM |
| 4 | Signs you're ex is not over you (or you're not over them)Was married 42 years. She cheated on me. I couldn't ever take her back even if she wanted that. But damn I hate that not a day goes by since I was 16 I don't think about her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/08/24 12:20 AM |
| 10 | What does everyone do to keep their mind off their ex?It takes time. I was married 42 years. High school sweetheart. She cheated on me. I too thought she was my best friend. The betrayal I thought she would never do. But she did for what ever reason. I've thought about her everyday since I was 16. I'm 67 now. I still think of her on a daily basis but as time goes on I don't dwell on why. I'm starting to do things on my own for probably the first time. Traveling, hitting the gym and working part time. I hate what she did. But can't hate her. This is… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/08/24 02:23 AM |
| 2 | Rant, cry for helpExactly. The only thing I would add is a good therapist if you don't have one already. You'll need someone to talk and vent to. Also add in a form of exercise. I did alot of walking when I went thru my divorce. It helps. Best to you. Hang tough. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/08/24 05:04 PM |

| 1 | So...does anyone still talk to the EMIL?No. They and my parents passed before I got a divorce. That's a good thing. I loved them very much. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/08/24 07:55 PM |
| 10 | Worst mistake of my lifeMy 42 year marriage ended. She was the right person for most of those years. 3 grown daughters and 4 grandchildren. But she changed. Cheated on me. Basically left our family for his. I don't believe in marriage anymore. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/08/24 07:39 PM |
| 11 | Are you doing better than your ex?Actually I don't know how my ex is doing. She cheated on me after a long marriage and after the divorce moved in with her fellow adulter. I've heard over the last couple years that she didn't look very good. Like she's aged. She has alot of physical issues and pretty sure emotional ones too. I hate what she did but could never hate her. It does make me sad that she gave up so much. As for myself. I'm doing ok. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/08/24 03:49 PM |
| 1 | Does anyone else feel ashamed?Good advice there. 👍 | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/08/24 07:26 PM |

| 2 | LibidoDivorced after 41 years. Now 67. Makes it easier being my age and not having sex. But I do miss it. Maybe I'll someday meet someone. Maybe I won't. There's still a ember in the furnace. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/07/24 11:32 PM |
| 8 | Found the love of my lifeI'd love to someday find love. But no way I'd ever get married again. Especially at my age. My ex got half my 401k, pension and half the value of the house when it sold. She's the one who cheated. But I would be willing and able to commit to someone if I fell in love. Can't afford to lose half of everything again. No way will I get legally married. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/07/24 06:36 PM |

| 7 | What red flags did you see at the very beginning?Didn't see it at the time. Couple heart issues that life squad took me to hospital. She didn't come until the next day. Go away for a weekend and she'd get drunk and belligerent. She'd always go in the bedroom to watch TV say we didn't like the same show s. She'd be on her phone texting with someone. One day broke down and said she was a terrible person. I consoled her telling her that wasn't true. She was cheating. I was too stupid or trusting to think she'd ever do that. We were married almost… | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/07/24 09:59 PM |

| 6 | When You Don’t Know What Ex Is Saying About YouOne of my last few communication s with my ex wife. She made the statement " I won't tell anyone the truth about you". I'm thinking what in the hell are you talking about. We were married 42 years. She committed adultery. Typical deflecting on her part. Never talked to her again. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/07/24 08:34 PM |

So trying to build new goals and focusing on what I'd like to do before it's too late and I'm to old. Can't say it's been easy. It's not. We were high school sweetheart s. But life happened and she made her choices. I'll always care for her. We have 3 adult daughters together. Any way, starting to travel ,which feels weird being by myself. Trying to hit the gym 2 or 3 days a week. Definitely helps with the stress. No… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/07/24 09:46 PM |
