| 3 | Is it better to call her out with her BS or stay quiet and keep the peace?I know brother.. I used to try to hold her accountable and point things out but it was a waste of breath. Women at this stage they are victims and very vindictive. It won’t work. The woman you’re divorcing is no longer the woman you married | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/06/24 09:39 PM |
| 11 | Is it better to call her out with her BS or stay quiet and keep the peace?She’s never going to accept accountability so don’t waste your time and energy. Focus on yourself and your kids. Write everything down. Write down every interaction you have with her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/06/24 06:30 PM |

| 5 | Beware the new cupcakeThis is a move your friend will deeply regret. No woman should ever come between a man and his children. He will regret this. Women come and go but our children is ours forever | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/05/24 04:23 AM |
| 9 | Does anyone else get told this after the divorce starts?Don’t do it brother. Trust your own instincts not the advice of someone else who did not live through what you did. Take your time. You don’t need hoes to be happy | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/05/24 04:18 AM |
| 2 | Could she have done anything?She could.. but she didn’t. I’m going through the process right now and now that I’m out she’s saying I gave up on her and turned down counseling.. lies. She’s been gaslighting me and at the same time trying to “win” me back.. FU | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/05/24 08:56 PM |

| 6 | Fundamentals: Why You Are HereMy wife definitely made me feel alone. She thought she compensate her lack of emotional and physical intimacy by “paying the bills” and taking me on cruises.. which by the way included her friends too. It wasn’t just me and her. She never said no to her friends but never wanted to go out with me. Yet, “I never took her anywhere”.. I what you wrote is truly the story of my life minus the cheating | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/04/24 08:36 PM |
| 1 | “You were supposed to be there for me”I kept waiting for her to tell me she does not want to get divorced. Even after she broke down. Never happened. Told me she was going to bed and in case she did not see me again, “good bye”. Still.. no remorse. No. I don’t want you to leave. I’ve always been the one to beg for her to stay. Is she waiting for me to beg? To tell her that I don’t want to leave and to stay with me? I’d be lying if I said I don’t want to do that a little. I truly loved her. But I don’t know what’s like to be hugged a… | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/04/24 01:30 AM |
| 6 | “You were supposed to be there for me”She told me I was a “bad investment” an “investment with no return”. Then today told me, she did everything for us. All of her sacrifices were for us. Yet, I didn’t do my part. She told me she never stopped loving me and that I told her I knew we were going to expire before getting married.. NO.. I said she keeps putting expiration dates on our marriage every time she talks about leaving. 😔 Brother, I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to write this message. I’m definitely going to check… | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/04/24 11:15 PM |

| 10 | “You were supposed to be there for me”She said I gave up on her.. I can’t even process that right now. I never gave up on her. I went above and beyond. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/04/24 08:48 PM |
| 8 | “You were supposed to be there for me”She just made me feel like CRAP!! Saying everything she did was for us. At the cost of her health and her soul. All she wanted was a future for us.. at the cost of not living the present mind you. I told her we cannot put all effort and pressure ourselves to death worrying about the future and neglecting the present and not letting go of the past. She said.. “you don’t have to worry about me now” “you are the only family I have” and now you’re living me.. “I did not know how you felt”. “I’m a mo… | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/04/24 07:26 PM |

| 2 | Is the cold shoulder common after filing?Every time my wife would get super upset for the most irrational things. She would block me and unfriend me lol One can only take so much. I have not moved out yet. Will do so this weekend. In the meantime, package after package, after package, keeps arriving from Macy’s every day | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/04/24 10:51 PM |

| 2 | We had the talk tonight. When I started talking about asset division, the first thing she said was she’s not talking about that topic until she speaks to a lawyer.No one gets married thinking that one day they will get divorced. It happened. She’s no longer the woman you married. Now you have to protect yourself from the volatile dragon women become when they want out. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/04/24 10:58 PM |

You’ll be better for it. There will be a day that you will meet someone who will not let go of you and will appreciate and be grateful that you are in her life.

| 1 | Post divorceWomen nowadays are empowered to run at the first sign of trouble. There is no reward for loyalty and love means nothing if they think they can have a better and glamorous life without you. Women are vindictive and resentful. They are quick to lose it and burn everything around them. They are truly dragons filled with rage and fire when they want out. And they want out for the stupidest of things. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/24 02:52 AM |
| 4 | Dating a person with little to no net worth at age 40?Yep. She does not bring nothing to the table. 3 kids that are not yours on top of that. If it was 1.. but 3! On top of that, no matter what you do, you’re never, ever, going to replace their dad. Be patient. There are a lot of worthy women out there | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/24 02:39 AM |
| 1 | Dating a person with little to no net worth at age 40?I definitely do not want that!! | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/24 02:36 AM |
| 3 | Dating a person with little to no net worth at age 40?You need to think about yourself first person. When in doubt the answer should always be no. If you’re like this is probably not a good idea | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/24 02:35 AM |
| 2 | Terminating child support paymentsI know someone who paid child support for years and years under the table. They then had a huge blow out and she went after him. Telling the court he never paid child support. Kid was 25 when they had this fight! The court ordered him to pay over $25k in lost child support. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/24 02:33 AM |
| 2 | Wife is divorcing me, do I have to me macho here and pretend it's not killing me?Most of the time we do not see this coming. Eve of there are red flags, we want to believe that things can change and people change. If we knew we were going to get divorced we wouldn’t have gotten married in the first place. Forgive yourself if you’re feeling guilty. This will pass | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/24 02:25 AM |
| 2 | Wife is divorcing me, do I have to me macho here and pretend it's not killing me?I strongly suggest you see a therapist if you can to help you cope with your emotions. You’re going to go through a lot of ups and downs. Feelings of euphoria and feelings of total defeat. Your best friend right is time. You must give your self time to heal. You’re going to feel guilty. Learn to forgive yourself. Have the strength for what you cannot control. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/04/24 02:23 AM |

| 0 | I just found out that I’m going to be forced to sell my house and pay around $1,500 monthly for alimony, child support, and health insurance. I only bring home $3,000 every month. How am I going to survive?The 1935 Social Security Act included provisions for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), a partnership between the federal government and states to provide minimum support payments for children in single parent homes. Yes. Outdated | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/24 11:19 PM |

How am I going to survive?My biggest fear was how I was going to “survive” on my own.. then I started doing math and realized my contribution to our living costs it’s more than enough to pay rent on my own plus more. I’m going to be okay. We’re all going to be okay. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/24 10:41 PM |

| 6 | Doing all the right things....still sad sometimesIt took me two years to be fully recovered from my 1st divorce with the mom of my kids. This time it feels different because I’ve been through worse and I’m leaving knowing I did EVERYTHING I could to keep this marriage alive.. but it’s impossible to do that, when you’re partner is cold, resentful, vindictive, bitter, and a heartless bi&$*. I really think it will not take long for me to move on from this. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/24 04:48 PM |
| 4 | Doing all the right things....still sad sometimesHang in there brother. Things will get better. I promise you. You’re doing everything you can to keep your head above water.

| 1 | Am I being petty?I don’t share kids with her. She asked me to move in with her when we got married because she already had a home and we thought it was better that way because the mortgage was only $1400 in a very nice and desirable area. I did pay half of the bills. Including mortgage. My name is not in the deed and it’s not in the mortgage either. When we tried to add me to it the interest at that time was too high. So we didn’t. The only we have that we share our names is my car and I’ll pay it off before the… | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/24 09:52 PM |
| 1 | Am I being petty?I just want to be out already 😣 I’m feeling stuck 😞 I’m feeling like I won’t be able to succeed on my own and be supportive of my boys (she’s not the mom Thank God). I know it’s not true. It’s just the hurt talking. The verbal jabs haunting me. I used to be fine on my own and can do it again. But I’m feeling super defeated right now. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/24 07:22 PM |
| 2 | Wife is divorcing me, do I have to me macho here and pretend it's not killing me?I also had my two kids when they were little almost 2 miles away across the country for two years.

| 2 | Am I being petty?My wife is extremely reactive. Since Sunday I’ve been sleeping on the couch and staying in the living room close to my home office. I do not acknowledge her at all and she does the same. The best thing I can do is to show that I’m not “afraid” (This is actually a real thing.. not show that you’re afraid of your own wife!! 😭) and not saying anything that will be used against me or escalate. I don’t think she’s raking this approach well but at least she’s leaving me alone until I move out. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/04/24 11:51 PM |

Yesterday for the first time in years, she bought a pack of cigarettes and went to smoke in the backyard. This after she told me she hasn’t changed her mind and I said, that’s okay, I just want to sign those papers and be done with it. Women are so vindictive.

I stood by her during her trials, I put a lot of things on hold for her, took on a lot of verbal abuse and threats, and this is my reward. It doesn’t matter if she tries and will portrait me the villain, her worst enemy is herself, it’s not a coincidence that her longest relationship is ours at 5 years.

Tired of being treated like a second class citizen in my own marriage. And you’re right. What I need are friends. Friends who understand me. She’s going to make me look the worst pos out there. But that’s not true. I lift my head up. It hurts but I know I’m not defeated eve if I feel like that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/04/24 03:36 AM |
| 2 | I’m getting divorcedThank you for this. I don’t have children with my current wife so that’s great news. She asked me to move in with her so we didn’t get a house together. The house is in her name and I basically have been paying “rent”. I don’t want anything from her and since she got the house before we got married I believe I don’t need to worry about that either.
