| 1 | 36M, 2 Months post divorce…I need to get out of my bubble…I workout at home. I have a bit of social anxiety. Need to work on it.. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/25 06:05 PM |
| 2 | 36M, 2 Months post divorce…You do make a good point. Part of my problem was that I was trying for so long to make people happy that didn’t give a damn about me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/25 02:23 PM |
| 1 | 36M, 2 Months post divorce…That is reassuring! But as far as acceptable dating ages, considering my own, where do you think is acceptable? | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/25 01:33 PM |
| 2 | 36M, 2 Months post divorce…I was doing okay on that front in the beginning, but weed has managed to come back into my life. Another variable that has been in and out my life over the years. I’ve been trying to be diligent about working out. But I am really bad at getting out and interacting with people. Definitely have some social anxiety.. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/12/25 02:18 PM |
| 2 | 36M, 2 Months post divorce…You are right. My sense of self has been shattered in the past few years. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/12/25 01:53 PM |
| 1 | 36M, 2 Months post divorce…That was my line of thinking. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/12/25 01:59 AM |
| 1 | What did you learn from your divorce?It wasn’t fair of me to do that. It does tie largely into my upbringing. Not that it’s an excuse. I’m trying to work on myself. Through therapy and medication. I understand I fucked up through all these decisions that I WILLINGLY MADE. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/11/25 03:14 PM |
| 1 | What did you learn from your divorce?I mean I acknowledged that I rushed into this. I didn’t know what I wanted, that was on me. How exactly do you want me to be more accountable here? | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/11/25 02:37 PM |
| 1 | Online Dating (Post Divorce)Does match limit your messaging? And is it pricy? | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/10/25 01:35 AM |
| 2 | How long after divorce…Best of luck. It’s crazy how quickly things ended between us…we made the decision and then barely a week later we signed the papers and she moved into her own place. I’m still kind of in shock. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 11:20 AM |
| 3 | How long after divorce…That’s what I’m wanting to do…but I still miss her and hurt | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 01:54 AM |
| 5 | How long after divorce…Do you mean because I’m fresh out of a marriage? | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 01:36 AM |
| 2 | How long after divorce…Did it help? | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 01:22 AM |
| 2 | How long after divorce…I don’t want to date without purpose. I hope I get there again someday.. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 01:05 AM |
| 1 | How long after divorce…I guess I’ll need some time to let that sink in. It’s only been a few days so it still feels unbearable at times. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 12:54 AM |
| 3 | How long after divorce…I’m happy you found someone who appreciates you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 12:45 AM |
| 4 | How long after divorce…I’m so sorry. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 12:44 AM |
| 3 | How long after divorce…More peaceful solo? | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 12:30 AM |
| 2 | How long after divorce…Fighting impulses are hard. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 12:05 AM |
| 2 | How long after divorce…Yeah that’s my issue now. I don’t know how I’ll trust another relationship again… | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 12:04 AM |
| 1 | How long after divorce…I wonder why the market is like that now…? | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/10/25 11:52 PM |
| 2 | Loss of attraction/porn/ and therapist’s words…No…we’ve had the divorce talk multiple times this past week…this is taking its toll on me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/09/25 01:40 AM |
| 1 | I can’t bring myself to do it…Been in marriage counseling for a few months. Honestly, I want kids, but I don’t know if it would be wise to bring them into this… | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/09/25 07:52 PM |
| 1 | Loss of attraction/porn/ and therapist’s words…Honestly I feel like we got together for the wrong reasons, and it’s like I’ve been trying to make this work when it may never have had the legs to begin with. We argued about divorce multiple times last week. It has been taking its toll on me. I have mentioned a separation. She has doubts about it helping. I have concerns of my own, primarily that I would be very tempted to seek out someone else (sexually at the very least). But I don’t know if that would be a terrible mistake if I did that. I’… | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/09/25 01:11 PM |
| 6 | Loss of attraction/porn/ and therapist’s words…I’ve been thinking the same thing sadly | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/25 09:42 PM |
| 2 | Loss of attraction/porn/ and therapist’s words…That’s the perfect analogy. Ive been trying to work up the nerve to call a lawyer for a while now… | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/25 07:51 PM |
| 1 | Loss of attraction/porn/ and therapist’s words…We are in marriage counseling. But we are both deeply unhappy. She worked out in the beginning of our relationship (like 7 years ago). But she gave up on it after marriage because I pushed it too much. I’ll be honest, I was obese when we got married, but I lost like 50 pounds through diet and exercise because my life was falling apart due to my weight. I vowed that I would not allow myself to look like that again. But that was like 2-3 years ago, and now my wife’s unwillingness to exercise is re… | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/25 07:44 PM |
| 2 | I can’t bring myself to do it…You’re right. This can’t continue. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/25 04:21 PM |
| 1 | I can’t bring myself to do it…I have been seeing a therapist since late last year. It’s been helpful to understand my damage. We have been in marriage counseling for a few months now. But I don’t know if it’s getting us anywhere. We have argued pretty heatedly multiple times this week about a divorce. She doesn’t want to bring kids into this. I don’t want to sign for a home with her (yes, we don’t have a house yet either) I do need to talk to a lawyer. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/25 01:31 PM |
| 1 | I can’t bring myself to do it…I’ve been in individual for a while now. And we have been in marriage counseling for a few months. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/25 01:25 PM |
| 2 | I feel like she’s guilting me…I think our biggest issue was that there was no planning behind it all. We were still learning about ourselves and who we were (her probably a lot more than me). If that makes sense. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/09/25 03:05 PM |
| 1 | I feel like she’s guilting me…No kids | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/09/25 12:32 PM |
| 1 | I feel like she’s guilting me…I mean we have been having issues since the moment we said “I do”. Does staying for 7-10 years magically fix something if it doomed from the start? | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/09/25 10:32 AM |
| 1 | I feel like she’s guilting me…That’s exactly it.. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/25 05:12 PM |
| 1 | I feel like she’s guilting me…I’m sorry that is literally the worst thing someone can do. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/25 02:24 PM |
| 1 | I feel like she’s guilting me…We have been in counseling a few months now. I’ve been in individual counseling since late last year. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/25 01:25 PM |
| 1 | I feel like she’s guilting me…Fear of the unknown is fear. The feeling of her being with someone else makes me sick to my stomach. But I feel like that’s something I may have to come to terms with but I just don’t know how… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/25 01:18 PM |
| 1 | I feel like she’s guilting me…About to be 4 years, 7 together. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/25 01:06 PM |
| 2 | I feel like she’s guilting me…I feel like we have talked about it extensively at this point. I also just don’t want to have regrets. Ugh I’m being a coward. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/25 01:03 PM |
| 2 | I feel like she’s guilting me…What? | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/25 12:40 PM |
| 2 | I feel like she’s guilting me…I’m so sorry. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/25 11:41 AM |
| 1 | Fear of regret holding me back…Yeah I mean she isn’t willing to work on the marriage. That’s not fair to you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/09/25 11:08 AM |
| 1 | Fear of regret holding me back…I’m sorry. You at least get what I’m going through. I will make sure I do my utmost before I throw the towel in. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/09/25 12:54 AM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionI never thought about it like that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/09/25 01:23 AM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionAre you happier now? | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/09/25 05:39 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionWe have been in counseling for a few months. Been trying to talk to her but it feels like talking to a brick wall at times. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/09/25 05:20 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attraction☹️…yeah that’s what I’m thinking too. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/09/25 04:14 PM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionIt’s hard to get in the mood because of her appearance. I’ve talked to her about it multiple times but she has no interest in stepping it up. I don’t push it anymore. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/09/25 02:25 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionNo kids. We both work. She doesn’t exercise at all anymore. It has put a major strain on our sex life. That and the stress and anxiety that the arguments take on me have made life difficult. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/09/25 10:27 AM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionMost aspects of our marriage are difficult. I put down the things she does for me that I appreciate, but we argue constantly and there is always a high level of tension in the air between us. And for what it’s worth, I have worked extremely hard to provide for her financially, and I have very little to show for it on my end but she has financial security. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/09/25 09:03 PM |
| 3 | Divorcing due to attractionI appreciate you saying that. I’m going to meet with my therapist tomorrow to try and hash this out too. And we have marriage counseling on Tuesday. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/09/25 03:07 AM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionThat’s a powerful quote. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/09/25 01:03 PM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionThank you. I appreciate the kind words. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/09/25 05:01 AM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionI guess I’m just looking for guidance. Maybe the marriage counseling we’ve been doing is a better guide. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/09/25 12:31 AM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionThank you. I guess 35 is about that time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/09/25 12:18 AM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionThat’s valid | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 11:22 PM |
| -6 | Divorcing due to attractionI don’t need whatever stds you have thanks. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 10:18 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionYeah we have. It’s caused a lot of problems to be sure. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 09:57 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionYou do make a point that’s been tearing away at me. She may be better off without me. If that’s the case, I need to stop being selfish. I’m being a coward. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 09:32 PM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionCompatibility. Damn autocorrect. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 09:03 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionI feel like I moved for marriage due to pressure from family. I do question if this marriage has a chance or if I’ve just developed some kind of codependency that I just can’t break after all that’s happened… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 08:36 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionI have told her this as well but she doesn’t see it that way. ☹️ | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 07:41 PM |
| 0 | Divorcing due to attractionI love her for her good heart and all that she has done for me. But communication and comparability has been a struggle for a majority of our time married. And the struggling sex life is just making all of that all the more miserable. She has also always been faithful. That is something else I value as I stand by that vow as well. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 07:40 PM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionI understand. I’m in the same boat. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 07:36 PM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionI was raised catholic but we didn’t get married in a church no. Guilt is still built into me though from my upbringing. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 07:35 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionI mean we don’t even have a kid yet. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 06:23 PM |
| 3 | Divorcing due to attractionWe have been in it for a few months now. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 06:23 PM |
| 3 | Divorcing due to attractionSo essentially since the beginning is over the only way she will pick it up again is through a divorce? | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 06:22 PM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionI wish it weren’t true… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 06:21 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionWhat was your experience? | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 06:10 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionWhat is that? A weight loss medication? She is on ozempic. For diabetes though | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 05:56 PM |
| 2 | Divorcing due to attractionI wouldn’t be able to do an open marriage. I’m too insecure to be comfortable with something like that. I always thought if I worked hard to provide for her and was direct with her when I had an issue we would be okay.. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 05:55 PM |
| 1 | Divorcing due to attractionHow would I do that though? | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/09/25 05:47 PM |
| 1 | Want to divorce, no infidelity involved…It all stems from the stress of our marriage. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/09/25 11:56 AM |
| 1 | Want to divorce, no infidelity involved…All I know is that since we’ve moved in together I had gained a massive amount of weight, went from being an alcoholic to a pothead to quitting my job to because of overwhelming stress and anxiety (a job I had given close to decade of my life for) and at the end of the day what do I have to show for it? I’m tired of being miserable all the time | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 09:37 PM |
| 1 | Want to divorce, no infidelity involved…She would never outright say that. She is a very non confrontational type of person. But the fact that she never really got to do her own thing is kind of a factor here. And overtime she has shown some fatigue when it comes to me and how I am with my hobbies and way of being. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 09:08 PM |
| 1 | Want to divorce, no infidelity involved…I have considered a separation. And I don’t really want to get a divorce because of all that I have invested into this. But the other issue, which is 100 percent on me, is that I feel like I may have robbed her of the experience of standing in her own when she moved in with me. What I mean by that is when she moved in with me it was her first time being out of her family’s house. She had never really been on her own. And her family treated her like a damn maid to raise their family so they can f… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 08:50 PM |
| 1 | Want to divorce, no infidelity involved…I mean I get that. Marriage isn’t perfect. But a lot of these issues have been there since the first year of our marriage and they have gotten progressively worse. And we are on year four now… I mean if I wanted to throw the chips in and leave I would have done it already. I haven’t. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 07:44 PM |
| 1 | Want to divorce, no infidelity involved…Do you believe it’s possible for people to get married for the “wrong reasons”? I’ve been trying to fight for this for a long time now but I am struggling. I can’t say we were madly in love when we moved in together/got married. A big part of me felt like it was more due to responsibility/guilt to a degree. But I’m trying to fulfill my commitment like a man because I don’t want to fail. But I’m in a very bad place. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 07:25 PM |
| 2 | Want to divorce, no infidelity involved…We have talked but I feel like communication is difficult. I feel like we have discussed these things but whenever the feeling of us actually separating feels like it’s becoming real…we get intimate and continue to kick this can down the road. I apologize if that detail is kind of tmi, but it is a very real issue I’m dealing with. I feel like it may be tied to some kind of separation anxiety on my part? Aside from that, it is very hard to talk to her in general. She does not like conflict. She s… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 04:42 PM |
| 1 | Want to divorce, no infidelity involved…We have split our bank accounts already. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 04:30 PM |
| 2 | Want to divorce, no infidelity involved…Please Elaborate. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 04:15 PM |
| 1 | Those that cheated…Did you guys have fun in any ways? | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 03:14 AM |
| 1 | Those that cheated…It’s hard to say how to would have played out though either way given she had checked out already. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 12:56 AM |
| 1 | Those that cheated…We all gotta go through it before we are old and wise. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 12:55 AM |
| 1 | Those that cheated…I mean I couldn’t continue to be with someone if they cheated on me. All the words in the world wouldn’t help at that point. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 12:05 AM |
| 2 | Those that cheated…You are right. I’m not saying I would do it. I’m just venting how I feel. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/09/25 12:04 AM |
| 2 | Those that cheated…Damn that’s crazy… | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/09/25 11:30 PM |
| 1 | Those that cheated…I want to do right by her. But my mind feels like it’s crumbling. But I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/09/25 10:10 PM |
| 2 | Those that cheated…Understood. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/09/25 07:25 PM |
| 2 | Those that cheated…I’m sorry. I appreciate your advice. I’m just venting really. I feel like a coward stuck in one spot, too afraid to act. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/09/25 07:24 PM |
| 2 | Those that cheated…Alright. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/09/25 06:52 PM |
| 2 | Too weak to divorceOh okay, that makes sense. I do talk about these things too much. I make myself sick sometimes. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/08/25 04:06 PM |
| 3 | Too weak to divorceThat’s so sad but it does ring true as well. I’ve reached some of the darkest places in my mind after getting married. And while it did awaken me to some harsh truths, trying to be with someone that I can’t talk to is definitely the loneliest feeling I’ve ever experienced… | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/08/25 02:56 PM |
| 1 | Too weak to divorceThanks for the motivation. I needed to hear that. Working out at home is very limiting. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/08/25 01:15 PM |
| 2 | Too weak to divorceWhy do you say not to lean on them too hard? And I’ve never even heard of a divorce coach. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/08/25 12:19 PM |
| 1 | Too weak to divorceI’ve been contemplating a gym membership for a while now. Been slacking. But also kind of afraid to do so. Because the attraction has been slipping on my end. I’ve talked to her about how I would like her to work out since we started dating but she simply doesn’t care anymore and our sex life has been a massive struggle at times. I just worry about the temptation at the gym with how my mind has been because of our sex life. Is that stupid? | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/08/25 04:16 AM |
| 1 | Too weak to divorceWe don’t have kids. Which could be seen as a blessing or a curse. As I’m 35 now. And I’m in therapy already, and on anti depressants, but nothing makes this less overwhelming… | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/08/25 04:13 AM |
| 1 | Afraid to get a gym membership…Yeah I want to get back into the swing of working out. Being around attractive women is the only thing that really bothers me. Because it makes me so frustrated. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/08/25 12:06 PM |
| 1 | Afraid to get a gym membership…What do you feel you can tell about an individual based on how they treat their bodies? | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/08/25 07:58 PM |
| 1 | Afraid to get a gym membership…I did discuss with her that I did care about her weight prior to getting married. But she’s at this point where I need to accept her for her. I went through a journey of weight loss myself. I was 220 when we got married. Lost about 50-60lbs after. You could argue I wasn’t in a proper state of mind when I got married with how out of shape I was. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/08/25 02:58 PM |
| 3 | Afraid to get a gym membership…I have always enjoyed working out, but when I do at home at the apartment I can’t focus especially if she’s around. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/08/25 02:56 PM |
