| 3 | Does it ever feel better?It is what it is bro. Once you stop resisting....pain is inevitable. Suffering isn't. So sorry you are going through this. I say it because I was there and never want to go back. It will get better. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/07/26 12:10 AM |
| 2 | Does it ever feel better?I hate to say this but it's all up to you. Look up "radical acceptance". Work out, eat well, and if you drink, stop, and look at it this way; you have the opportunity to make your own life. Believe me, it can get better. Best wishes. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/07/26 11:31 PM |
| 8 | Hard day todaySorry, man. It sucks. First anniversary? The "year of first" sucks. First anniversary, first birthdays, first christmas. It sucks and will keep on sucking for a while. But it will get better. You´ll learn to live with this and if you put in the work, you´ll find new happiness again. Best wishes. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/04/26 05:40 PM |
| 3 | I just really miss my kidsIt does get easier. What does it for me is; I recharge when they're not here to be thw best dad possible when they come back I do their laundry. It keeps me feeling like a dad for those long days. I work hard to make money for them. I miss them like hell. That doesn't get easier, ever. But I don't stop being a dad. In my country, countless fathers emigrate to make a living for them. I know a guy whose dad sent him a teddy bear for his birthday....his 16th birthday. His dad still has that.image o… | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/26 07:53 PM |

| 3 | Not another "it will get better" post.....Thanks, I'll check it out. I've never been athletic by any means. I tried swimming but I hate it. Bodyweight worked for me. I went from 7 pushups to 80 in one year (4 sets of 20). I've grown muscles I didn't know existed, lol. Like the first time I noticed I had traps I was like "what the fuck is that?". I went from being ashamed everytime I had to takr of my shirt in public, to being proud. Everyone has a different fitness journey. The usual advi e here is to "hit the gym".

| 6 | Not another "it will get better" post.....LOL!!!!Thanks! Yeah, I dated an amazing beautful woman last year, way out of my league. Amazing. And then she dumped me because, well, I have three kids, no free weekends, etc...Set me back a couple of weeks. But it was easy to move on. I feel good now because finally, I feel happy by myself. I´m not into that redpill or mgtow bullshit but I finally found peace with my own company. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/06/24 03:38 AM |
| 2 | I Can’t Stop Crying TodayWait....I just read this post while lurking on my own profile, and thought I wrote this. I could´ve written this word for word. The pets. The sudden change. Everything.

Feel free to stalk my profile and all the shit I went through, and that you will go through. I´m so hapy right hnow being alone. Life is not perfect by any means, and at times I miss having a "family". Even though I still have one, just different. Just one piece of advice.

Well, no surprise, it did not work. Right now, I am with my kids at home, one of them possibly has covid. I got a lot of shit to handle, and in the meanwhile, their mom is enjoying her weekend with his asshole boyfriend. Sorry man. It sucks.

Or the second one, or third one. I did not. I sped right by all those flags giving them my middle finger. I know what I did. I saw the exit many times and decided to stay. I guess the 3 amazing children I got out of it made it worth it. I would do it again just for that. But JFC I'm paying for it. Good luck my friend. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/07/22 05:09 AM |

But believe me, it will get better. Exercise, diet, sunshine, firends...you know, the usual advice. Just hang in there. It will really suck for a while, and it will get worse before it gets better, but it will get better., Best wishes. PM anytime. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/04/22 08:04 PM |

| 2 | How do y’all feel about ever getting married again?Thanks. I try to be a good human being but fail at it often. Oh well. We are just evolved monkeys. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/22 01:33 AM |
| 2 | How do y’all feel about ever getting married again?Growing up in a cathoholic country, divorce has always been frowned upon. It's actually a sin. And I have seen, in my own family, the consquences of people staying together "for the sake of the kids". Of course, pulling a gun to your wife while blackout drunk is better than divorce, I guess. If YOU are better off divorced, believe me, your children are as well. Best wishes my friend. Again, sorry for my kneejerk reaction. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/22 01:32 AM |

But text often conveys little information, so your comment came across to me as condescendent. The again, sorry, we are on the same side. No, it's not an outlandish belief. And yes, some ststistics might support that. For example, the studies of Judith Wallerstein, which painted a grim picture for the children of divorce. But she missed a lot of confounding factors. The landmark study by Mavis Hetherington showed ev… | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/03/22 09:58 PM |
| 3 | How do y’all feel about ever getting married again?Look up the work of Mavis Hetherington. (See, Islandboy? I can google.) She did an excellent longitudinal study on this. A rapid conclusion; it's conflict which harms children. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/03/22 09:25 PM |
| 0 | How do y’all feel about ever getting married again?What an idiotic reply. I have "googled" about this subject a lot. The "statistics" which are usually quoted some times to back up your statement, often refer to outdated studies. And the results differ a lot. So what "statistics" are you referring to which back up your claim. Because I can, as well, sau that your statistics are bullshit and that "I'm not google". So if you are not adding to the conversation, stay the fuck out of it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/03/22 09:22 PM |

| 15 | How effed is my friend who married a sugar baby?What reason? Unless it's abuse or endangerement, a kid needs his father.

It will be tough to have to still deal with her because of the kids. You need to be the best you can. Get a good therapist. If having a wife with BPD is tough, an ex-wife is tougher in some ways. You will have to be the stable parent for your kids. Provide them with a safe and peaceful place. And doing that while dealing with their mother will be tough.

She's a covidiot, and I'm really apprrhensive of all of this stuff, takibg care of the kids, living with my elderly parents, and not wanting to die and leave my children without a father. She just does what she wants. Whenever I try to talk to her about serious studf like that, she snaps, insults me, threatens me...it's a fucking rollingcoaster.

| 2 | Its still really hard to talk to her.I understand you perfectly. My relationship with the ex is generally terrible. But it's normal to want to share the moments of your children with the only other person in the world for whom they mean as much as to you. When things are calm, we sometimes share pics, and today actually some texts about them. It's cool.

If I didn't have children with this woman, I wouldn't want her back. It sucks man, I get it. There's nothing to do but move forward. The only way to possibly get her back, ironicqlly, is to let her go and move on. Become a better, stronger person. Begging, pleading, flowers, and all that shit won't bring her back.

| 0 | I can’t stop thinking of my ex as my wife.I don't agree that you have to stop loving her. You need to emotionally detach from her and stop needing her love in order to be happy. But you can love her and not need her by your side. I actually find it liberating to rralize that I will always love my ex, and I hope she finds happiness without me, if that's what she wants. That's the difference between true love and dependency. I want to be happy without her and I want her to be happy without me.

But I haven't really started to have a new life, I'm on a transition phase, which is being prolonged thanks to the pandemic. Your post is spot on, but I ask because many times people who say it gets better don't have kids, in which case a divorce is just a breakup with paperwork. I'm struggling a lot with not having a whole family anymore and all it implies for me and the kids. On top of that I quit smoking so I'… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/20 08:34 PM |

| 6 | Best ways to support a friend going thru divorceDon't try to get him to "get over it" or "snap out of it". Listen if he needs to talk and let him know you are there to listen but try not to bring it up. Validate his feelings. Give him a hug. Oxytocin helps. Don't make him drink. Just being there and caring will help. But the healing process is long and hard. Kudos for being a good friend. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/03/20 07:13 PM |
| 3 | What would you do differently if you go back in time ?Exactly. I would've avoided years of drama and pain. But the kids are worth all of it. So I would probably tried harder to make things work. I can pinpoint 2 o 3 mistakes that took us down this road, but probably thus would've happened sooner or later. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/02/20 03:46 PM |
| 2 | Is there anyone divorced who maintains a peaceful relationship with their ex?I try but she makes it impossible. I really hope to hace a peaceful relationship some day. Divorces are full of pain and loss for both sides. A divorce is most of the time caused by an already disfunctional relatiinship, so when money, custody, and all kind of new disagreements are added by the divorce, there's no reason to think the relationship will get any better. I hope that time and space makes having a better relationship easier. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/02/20 09:45 PM |
| 2 | Red FlagsThe outbursts and irrational behaviour started very early on. I knew she had issues amd she even warned me of them. I guess I suffer from caretaker syndrome. I believed that with enough love, she could get better. And she did for a while. But after our twins were born, she had postpartum depression and my business failed and it all went to shit from there. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/02/20 05:34 PM |

You work hard to provide for him, and the fact that you are concerned about all those things show you are a devoted dad. Take it day by day, be for him as much as you can. It's not about the amount but the quality of time. He will grow up to see you are a caring and devoted dad. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/12/19 03:02 AM |
