| 2 | Wife angry about equitable financial splittingAs they say, all is fair in love and war. That includes marriage versus divorce. Women are emotional, they will manipulate, their reasoning is very simple. They think they deserve what they want. As we know, men are logical stick to the rules of a divorce and split equally. that’s the law in most states. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/07/26 10:39 AM |
| 5 | When we were married, she had nothing to say to me. Now that we're divorced and co-parenting, she won't shut up and leave me alone. Make it make sense!I like that you use the word “victim“. men need to realize that they are nothing more than a tool for a purpose of what a woman wants at the current time. Subject to change later in time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/07/26 11:33 AM |

| 13 | Not having kids ever again, never getting married againAmen brother. Men need to realize that marriage is nothing more than a live-in relationship. Most relationships always ends. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/07/26 12:11 PM |
| 5 | She’s back to threats about divorce - her meningioma isn’t helpingOnce the D word is said out loud that is a red flag waving in a hurricane. I believe that unless both parties put the marriage first and work seven days a week to mend the relationship, it probably will not survive longer. Currently, marriage is nothing more than a long-term relationship. The only difference is leaving in one household. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/06/26 12:41 PM |

| 4 | No Fault / Community PropertyThis person will be in your life for a very long time. You should think about getting along because decisions might come easier in the future pertaining to your children. If both of y’all have started out politely and agree to a even split, you might want to stay on that path. Her lawyer might suggest more for his client however, the law says in your state she’s only entitled to half. Stick to your guns and only agree to half. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/10/25 11:27 AM |
| 11 | At marriage counseling today...In marriage counseling, it takes both spouses to be involved. if there are not both spouses involved, you can pretty much bet what the outcome will be. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/10/25 10:40 AM |
| 3 | Termination of AlimonyYes, I agree. That is a logical reason to marriage. But why is it freely given by your spouse before marriage? | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/10/25 10:35 AM |
| 10 | Termination of AlimonyGlad you had a good ending. There’s a lot of us here suffer a lifetime. Why do we MEN fall for the dream of forever. Knowing full well, the odds are stacked against us. Only during a divorce do we really really understand the consequences of a marriage. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/10/25 02:55 PM |

| 2 | Met a girl - in love - she says she will sign a prenupMy comment was a reply to code establishment 172 who posted “ why marriage has to be on the table”. I did not give any advice only an agreement of “WHY”. As far as your other question, knowing what I know now and what it took from me, “yes I am saying I would never get married”. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 11:01 AM |
| 13 | Met a girl - in love - she says she will sign a prenupI agree with your point. Why would a man who went through a divorce want to? Once was enough for me to decide never again in my lifetime will I get married! | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/10/25 06:37 PM |
| 3 | (47). Not yet divorced.When one partner isn’t willing, there’s always another partner that is suffering. Your situation is not unique. A lot of marriages will end because of this. You must make a decision and a timeline. Maybe suggest counseling to save the marriage. If any counseling is refused, a decision must be made. Everyone, including you have a right to be happy. If you’re not happy then it’s time to move on and look for happiness. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/10/25 12:55 PM |
| 14 | Leaving the "unsuspecting" wifeYou are breaking inside because you’re a man. You’re having to force yourself to break a vow and in turn It is a heavy burden. The facts are, you are very unhappy and cannot take it any longer. You have to do what’s right for you. You did not want it to end this way, but you now know the relationship will always stay the same without any improvement. You are filling guilty of realizing what you must do. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/10/25 10:41 AM |

| 2 | Ex family.If you can be happy alongside your ex-wife and her new friends, then you should be able to have a relationship with her family. As time goes on, it might be less than less chances to be with or socialize with in-laws. As for me, I was in a very long term marriage. I do not care to see that person be with that person or talk to that person. I only text and talk to a few of the in-laws. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/09/25 10:27 AM |

| 6 | What was the final straw that led you to divorce?Realizing after decades nothing was going to change. If I wanted to be happy as a senior I had to get out.

It’s hard to do, but you might want to consider taking the high road and not saying anything. As a man myself, I have my word which is my bond my honor that helps me keep my morals in check.

| 6 | The money is forcing me into reconcilliationYou are correct it’s many topics with in a marriage, however ever you once again listed money again in your response. Your wife could file for divorce and you would still be in the same situation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/08/25 04:31 PM |

Now you need to make a decision to let go and move on with your life. It won’t be easy and there will be times that it will be very difficult to move on past your trauma. You are emotionally hurt and need to heal internally. There is no timeline of when you’ll come out healthy on the other side.

| 18 | Dating Mid 40sI am the Lucky one. For many years before the divorce and post divorce, I created a mind set, I do not need to be in a relationship to be happy and fulfilled. I create my own destiny and enjoy life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/08/25 10:48 AM |
| 1 | Honest is it your fault?I agree with you on first mistake made. Over time, I now say the first mistake I made was moving into the same residence. The second mistake was presuming nothing would change if we got married. I was way off on that assumption. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/08/25 04:38 PM |
| 2 | I knew what I signed up forAnother reason could be when I reflect back on the marriage, the downs and more downs. My honor kicked in.

| 8 | After divorce, I lost more than my marriage—I lost my sense of self. I’ve spent years helping others through transformation, but rebuilding myself was something else entirely.Good men will always have a sense of loss, why? Because a good man will take their marriage vows seriously, transform into the role from single to husbands, role model and if they are lucky fathers. A divorce man is lost until they can find themselves. Then any only then can a man move on. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/06/25 01:07 PM |

| 3 | What is the Most Man Friendly State in the USA for Divorce?I just had a divorce in Texas. If you can get a amicable divorce you do not even need a lawyer. Requirements are a resident of 90 days in county that you file in. Fifty fifty (50/50) on Everything, there is No alimony, but their is a Spousal Support. Their is a 60 day waiting period, before a divorce is granted. Its a cooling off time. You will have to read the Texas Family law code on Spousal Support.
