4	Any Middle Age Success Stories? Ended up with the house and custody of the kids after she cheated on a 20 year marriage. Met someone new and just celebrated our first anniversary together Couldn’t be happier	/r/Divorce_Men	04/07/26 05:40 AM
4	Brand new iPad and expensive items missing I bought a padlock for my bedroom door and office door. It’s a pain spinning the combination 10 times a day but worth the piece of mind. Give me a shout if you want to know what hardware to buy to make it work	/r/Divorce_Men	05/11/24 10:33 AM
3	Weight loss after being blindsided I lost 25 pounds almost straight away when I found out she was cheating.	/r/Divorce_Men	09/08/24 07:48 AM
10	What was your final straw? She cheated, I gave her the chance to keep the family together. She carried on cheating, she got caught in a lie in every marriage counceling session. She has had this creep in our children’s home. My final straw was that I hated the man it had made me become. It’s like my wife of 14 years just died one day and now I have someone who looks and sounds like her, but is capable of so much cruelty. She won’t leave the house until she gets more money than is fair. She’s threatened the kids education …	/r/Divorce_Men	08/08/24 07:57 AM
2	A Spreadsheet Thanks for this, it gives me hope - I’m dealing with a cheating wife trying to rob every penny. I’ve logically set it all out in a spreadsheet, she just won’t accept any reason 🤯🤯🤯 Hopefully we can get to the end in the same way as you’ve done	/r/Divorce_Men	24/07/24 10:28 AM
7	Had the talk with kids today I’m so sorry - I’m going through this same pain at the moment. All I can share is keep it stable for the kids, they just get to see normal Dad not you breaking behind the scenes. Shield up for the kids brother! If you ever need someone to talk to on the same boat let me know I’ll be happy to talk.	/r/Divorce_Men	22/07/24 11:10 AM
2	What songs helped you ? Leftfield - melt Hanz zimmer - time Hanz Zimmer - rise	/r/Divorce_Men	22/07/24 12:45 AM
2	Narcissism seems to be the new buzzword today. Did or are you dealing with that in your present or past divorce? I’m not qualified to diagnose someone as one, but I can call out an extreme level of selfishness of her interests over the kids, another family and mine.	/r/Divorce_Men	13/07/24 02:55 PM
2	Do you wish her happy birthday? I took the kids to buy a card and small present for her. More for them than for her. We’ll see if she reciprocates	/r/Divorce_Men	12/07/24 03:31 PM
3	difficulty managing the anxiety No! I’m asking are you prepared to become the man you’d need to be to stay and put up with all of this? Or Do you choose to leave and keep your self intact and start again?	/r/Divorce_Men	09/07/24 11:02 AM
2	difficulty managing the anxiety That sounds awful - I’d think long and hard regardless of how you feel about your wife, do you want to accept the man you’d have to become to put up with any more of that	/r/Divorce_Men	08/07/24 10:40 PM
5	difficulty managing the anxiety Hey man - I’m in exactly the same position (door locks and all) People keep telling you it gets better and it does, I’m using the cohabiting time to start building a new life now . Focus on doing something positive for you everyday (reach out to old friends, book a class, attend a meet up etc) Try joining the WhatsApp group for this sub Reddit, loads of helpful guys going through the same thing	/r/Divorce_Men	08/07/24 02:07 PM
