| 1 | I‘ve to pay alimony to wife?In New York alimony is temporary the shorter the marriage the less you pay. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/08/24 12:32 AM |
| 7 | Anyone else think about "switching teams"?I see a lot of advantages to a gay marriage, I’m 100% probably rose glasses if this. With a guy your size you could cut your clothes spending to half at least. If you aren’t taking care of each other’s morning wood; you are doing gay wrong. https://youtu.be/f8AMqWGRjcE?si=vXUZS5jiIdbampoY | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/08/24 08:53 PM |

| 6 | Guys with small social networks, how are you after divorce?BRO !!! WTF!!! You are miserable being married and you think you will be happy being divorced? But afraid of being lonely? Did you get married because you thought being married would make you happy? You know you can be single and unhappy. Go get therapy, figure out what you want. If you need friends go make some. (Meetups, hobies, gym, etc) You being unhappy is a you problem. If you are positive marriage is a major cause go ahead and get divorced.

| 3 | Trip ideas?Montreal is a great roadtrip. Everything is in French and is really like a different world. Major city and lots to do. if you are close to Stewart airport check out play airlines the fly to Europe pretty cheap out of Stewart. The swings of not driving to nyc or Newark and paying parking etc make it really worth while. Check out kayak they have an explore option where you can get a list of flights based on cost. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/05/24 04:39 AM |

| 6 | For those that are divorcing in equitable states for reasons other than at fault infidelity, has anyone been able to get a percentage in favor of the male? If so, how?If you can get 50/50 split without alimony take it and run. You will build back the lost ten percent. The alimony will suck the life out of you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/24 02:19 PM |

| 1 | So my wife wants to buy me outRule number one don’t take legal advice from your ex. You need to have a consultation with an attorney … they will take your case because they can have your ex pay the legal fees. Child support is a formula she does not get to decide what she pays. Apply for social programs. Tell everyone that she abandoned you and the children financially. Document everything, and sell shit if you have to in order to support yourself and your kids. Are they old enough to go to school yet? | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/23 08:33 PM |
| 1 | So my wife wants to buy me outDONT TAKE THE DEAL!!! Hey I just read your post history it sounds terrible. I hope you have a lawyer now if not here is my fear for you and a possible worst case scenario. You give her the house, she moves in. Where are you staying? Can you afford a place? Do you have income? You were a stay at home dad for how many years? Do you have any job skills? Do you need to go back to school? MEANWHILE, she and her lawyer will calculate the child support and alimony you would be entitled to and she will … | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/23 06:25 PM |
| 1 | So my wife wants to buy me outHave you figured out custody? If not use this as part of negotiations. She is probably seeking to keep the house as she can work to get your name off of the mortgage . Hard but it’s not impossible; I was able to do it as part of an assumption. It’s a PIA but doable. If you make her sell you will take maybe take home 25k instead of the 22k. But is it really worth the headache especially if she might sabotage the home to sell for less in order to spite you. My advice is use this as a bargaining ch… | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/23 06:10 PM |
| 1 | So my wife wants to buy me outAre there kids? She could argue that she had the home and needs more custody as. This would be less disruptive to the kids. If that’s not the case, she could be doing this to keep the low interest rate or just to stay a homeowner. It’s hard to do an assessment without the current balance. If it’s a fair deal don’t drag it out. Worst case scenario you leave a few thousands on the table but keep your sanity. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/23 04:21 PM |

| 1 | Responses to false claims.I had my ex tell me she felt abused. Not that I hit her or did anything... but that’s how she felt. I told her I felt like a princes but I wasn’t entitled to a tiara. I consulted my lawyer and a police officer friend. 1) communicate via text and email ONLY no phone calls 2) wear body cam when you are meeting in public. The result: I had some great text messages from the ex pissed off saying she never felt physically abused; when I said I was not willing to share a car with her because of her acc… | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/08/20 05:18 AM |
| -3 | Letting Defeat Set InI think you are looking for a pity party. If she had to move out for a year I am guessing it’s because you forced her to do that because you would not agree to settle this like adults. Where you could have made an agreement that she pays you alimony for four years while you get a college degree. Instead you pouted said no to a divorce and forced her to take default action. You are in a love affair with your misery. You want to be a good dad for your kids find a way to be happy. Which one of your… | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/07/20 03:34 AM |

REGARDING YOUR GUILT: Let it go the only way you could have made this marriage work with her is if you acted like your father in law. You are a good dude who loves his family and would never do that to his children. Good on you! This isn’t your fault.

Might look bad if a potential client googled her or the other guy and found the go fund me page. Don’t put that in writing The rest of the advice is more on the level.

What is the best life for your kids? 100% is a hard ask but to help your chances, you have to be the primary guardian and it has to be for a significant if not a majority of your child's life.

First (and I know it’s Uber painful) don’t count on her cheating as being helpful to your case at all. From here on out it’s all about the money. Try to get her to admit that she gave the money to her lover. This probably the only recourse you have to getting half of that money back.

| 1 | pretty easy question about seperationGreat job on turning her down. How long were you dating? I am probably projecting here because I had a situation where I let my ex constantly cheat on me, and I allowed it to happen up until our daughter was born. It took time with a psych to figure out why I wanted that situation if I did not like it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/11/19 08:14 PM |
| 4 | pretty easy question about seperationSTOP Are you looking to let everyone know your STBX is the scum of the earth or do you need legal advice? Btw you convinced me she is scum. NOW: You need therapy to figure out why you married this train wreck. I don’t believe she wasn’t nuts on day one. What’s your problem that when you saw this hot mess your reaction was... yeah ima put a ring on that one. She so smart just read these threatening letters to her ex’s baby mama.

| 4 | Maryland - VA Disability divorce questionNot a lawyer and you need a lawyer ASAP. I’m in NY here is what my lawyer consultation told me. Disability and other payments do not count towards joint assets. If this applies to VA I would counter in the following way. If they do not apply, her income compared to yours minus disability is probably less then hers making you eligible for alimony. You might not want or need the money, stash it and give it to your daughter as a graduation gift 😉 | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/10/19 09:04 PM |

This is probably the hardest thing in the world for you to do. I feel your pain. We all do!

More on my experience in counseling below: We sat at the therapist office and I was about to drop the hammer and say how I knew she cheated, but the counselor stopped me asked her if she did. She lied and said nope. The counselor then turns to me and asks: (paraphrasing) do you want to work on your marriage or do you want to be right? Wtf would anyone say in that situation?

| 2 | 1st marriage counseling session is Monday but I found photos on her phone...My hear is racing because I feel I was you a year ago. Here is my takeaway! This is what our therapist did which make me feel I was played. She asked if the marriage got worse after the affair. Like your wife my wife was extra sexual so I thought it did not get worse, when if I thought about it more rationally it got dramatically worse, the self doubt and loss of self esteem is countless. And she asked if the affair was a symptom of the problems in the marriage? I Wish I was strong enough to hav… | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/08/19 09:10 PM |
| 5 | Welcome backI appreciate the sentiment but I keep thinking of the price. All the benefits you mention come at the price of half my time with my daughter. I am going from being a primary caregiver to a half time dad. A price I am paying for her affair, so yes thanks for reminding me of the silver lining and it’s ultimately the right decision the price is steep. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/08/19 08:00 PM |

It sounds to me like you are very empathetic and truly love your wife despite everything. Unfortunately these qualities are part of the problem. Depression is a monster and while it’s a mental disorder it can affect you. It can spread! Your wife’s depression is causing you to feel depressed, and you sound depressed.

| 0 | As someone who is barreling towards a divorce I have a question. Is it worth it to stay with your wife just to live in the same house with your kids.You are a punk ass bitch. A selfish little man child. Instead of having a hard and tough conversation with his wife you are sneaking around behind her back. Man the fuck up and figure out your marriage. Your wife knows you are cheating on her! And if you think she doesn’t you are dumber then I thought. After 18 years together you think she can’t tell there is a difference in your behavior? Figure out wtf you want and tell her your wife. It’s that simple. Punk ass bitch. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/07/19 04:52 AM |

A soft nudge to suggest we had other shit to work on which turned into a sessions with n how I can do better and that the affair was just a symptom. It took me way to long to get my head clear to say if that’s a symptom I don’t want to be in this marriage.
