| 1 | Cheating wife , two kids 4 and 2Seriously get an STD screening. You have no ideal who she’s been with. Also check the girls DNA there’s no way the cheating is a new thing. Other than that fight for your parental rights as hard as you can. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/03/26 02:24 AM |
| 7 | Found the affair yesterdayFirst get an STD screening and a paternity test. You really have no clear idea how long and with who she has been sharing bodily fluids with. As far as reconciliation, I doubt it's possible how can you ever trust her. Sorry for your children. However kids are resilient and adaptable. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/01/26 08:42 PM |
| 4 | My wife is leaving me again.That stinks but you will get through it. File the divorce and finally start healing the sooner you realize it's actually over the sooner you can start healing. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/01/26 07:53 PM |
| 1 | Sent a guy money and she's not workingThe charges may be legitimate. What really concerns me is that she is talking about leaving somuch. Either she trying to manipulate you into ignoring what she's doing or she has already checked out of the marriage. Start planning an exit strategy. If she's doing either. Manipulation or just not committed to the marriage you deserve better. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/10/25 05:19 PM |
| 1 | Is it normal ?Frankly that's bull! There is absolutely no excuse for not verbally communicating. In fact not verbally communicating is lying. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/05/25 04:13 AM |
| 1 | Mandatory DNA test at birth?All I know is there's lots of stories on the web of paternity fraud. And given the number of health issues such as kidney transplant where genetic relationship really matters. It's more than worthwhile to check paternity at birth. The objections of women's groups tells me the leaders of these groups have something to hide, that is more important to them than their children's health. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/12/24 12:57 AM |
| 2 | Mandatory DNA test at birth?Yes whole heartedly | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/12/24 12:47 AM |
| 5 | She pulled the plug while it was my weekend with the kidsGet an attorney right away push for 30/70 in the other direction with you as the 70. After all you're still in the family home. Refuse contact with her except through your attorney. Fight on every bit of property. Show her what a divorce can cost her. Either you end up with a better deal or she realizes she really doesn't want the divorce. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/11/24 09:40 PM |
| 4 | Sudden separationFirst point women tend to throw divorce as a threat to get whatever it is they want. If she serious then the relationship is already gone The best advice is charge forward with a divorce, if she realizes you're not going to beg and plead she may wake up. Let her know hormonal problems and such are completely unexceptionable. That you will only accept a complete commitment to the marriage. Definitely let her know even thinking of ending the relationship means it's over. At this point you've got n… | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/10/24 04:49 PM |
| 12 | She said, "You could just pick up the dog poop without me asking. You see it just like I do."If she's like my ex she wanted the divorce either because she was cheating or wanted to play the hookup game. I never bothered to find out which. Funny how a few months later she realized all those hook ups saw her as just that, a quick hookup. And how much she missed a stable marriage. My heart cries purple peanut butter for her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/08/24 09:07 PM |
| 6 | How did you find out about the affair partner?I was smart enough to keep all the phones in my name. The cell company is thought I was using both phones. When she started acting weird I linked the phones saw every text she sent and received. Also the apps mirrored into my phone her dating apps where very revealing. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/08/24 09:29 AM |
| 15 | Wife wants me backPersonally I'd go for the new place if you can get a 6 month lease. Then continue counseling and see if she sticks to the changes. 9 weeks is not enough time to tell but if you're both serious about healing the relationship it's probably more then worth it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/03/24 04:47 PM |
| 3 | Do I remove STBX from my health insurance immediately?Yes but will she. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/02/24 01:34 PM |
| 11 | Do I remove STBX from my health insurance immediately?I think you'll want to wait until divorce is final. Otherwise you could end up with huge medical bills from her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/02/24 01:30 PM |
| 1 | Twice now I have tried to put space between me and my ex, and twice now I have failedInteracting with her is habit. It's as hard to kick as any other habit. That's why you have to consiencely limit contact to only what is mandatory about your son. Break the habit! Learn to not let the habits of thought from your past relationship effect your life. It takes time and effort, but it's the only way to move forward. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/02/24 01:27 PM |
| 5 | Bac together..Is she still married? I wouldn't be able to take her back knowing she committed to and gave herself to another man. It seems she takes commitment to lightly. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/01/24 06:07 PM |
| 4 | Commitment vs Casual Dating vs Paid company.Realistically if all you want is occasional casual sex. Outsourcing is probably an option. It certainly comes with less risk and hassle then dating. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/01/24 07:42 PM |
| 8 | Revenge on stbxwDo nothing until the divorce is finalized. But it may be helpful to gather evidence. If you still want revenge then anonymously send him the evidence. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/01/24 08:10 PM |
| 7 | She left after 33 yearsShe says maybe after a week or 2 weeks she may want to start dating you. Bull she's trying to string you along until she's either Shure of the new guy or has all her preparations for getting the most out of you in the divorce. Odds are she's already playing with a new guy. But isn't Shure he's going to work out. After 4 years she found a therapist. Basically she's either been cheating or wanting to cheat she just wanted to find a therapist to tell her it's ok. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/01/24 03:05 AM |
| 1 | The Gym is NOT the Answer for Everyone…and Could Even be Dangerous…Realistically the most important thing is find something that you enjoy and make it a part of your routine. I know a guy who rediscovered a love of fishing as a great way to destress and get his head back in shape. We all have pass times we gave up during our marriage that we should get back to. For me it was reading. Just spending a few undisturbed hours with a decent book regularly certainly brought back my mojo. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/01/24 01:08 AM |
| 9 | Does wife making more than husband contribute to relationship issues?I have seen it go many ways. A really good marriage it's all good. I've seen men have an identity crisis. And I've seen women lose respect for their husband. The big issue is that she's career driven. People who sit their and others value on careers often cannot have a good relationship with people they think don't add up. Women who feel this way will often have affairs that they feel will advance their career. They feel justified in this because thier husband is beneath them. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/12/23 01:23 AM |
| 1 | Which is the bigger nightmare?You missed scenario 3 you discover wife's infidelity by getting an STD. ALL are bad and far to common. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/12/23 05:39 PM |
| 1 | Wife having second thoughts? Need to get your opinionsI understand the desire to want her back, and it may happen but please be cautious and take baby steps. Wait and see if she takes responsibility for the separation. It's very possible she has discovered either her other guy is not reliable or that single life sucks. Do not believe her that she hasn't at least tried out other relationships. The odds are massively against that. Remember that even mildly attractive women are persuded by men. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/12/23 07:32 PM |
| 1 | Seeking words of encouragementYou are a wonderful person and extremely valuable to your husband and children. It's great that you realize it is others opinions that are negatively effecting you and not just reacting to the feelings, or blaming your husband and children. All I can say is stay strong and discuss this with your husband. I bet he thinks you're wonderful. And he really appreciates you. | /r/RedPillWives | 30/11/23 10:43 PM |
| 7 | Male coworker flirts with meIs it at all possible you are missintetpreting his actions. I personally tend to focus on female coworkers faces so as not to be accused of starring at other parts of their anatomy. When I tried looking away from them completely I was accused of not respecting them. Try having an adult conversation with him ask him what's up and let him know what he's doing that makes you uncomfortable. | /r/RedPillWives | 30/11/23 10:36 PM |
| 3 | Ex trauma holding me back from loving again or am I am better at spotting BS?I'd just relax and see what happens. Either you both fall in love or you just become FWB. Just wait and see. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/11/23 10:26 PM |
| 2 | I f*cked up. I just want my family back1 year sobriety is a good start. If I were you I'd ask her to talk. Apologize for everything tell her you don't expect her to forgive you but you want to take responsibility for your actions. Give her sometime to roll that around. If she seems ok with it try asking her out. Maybe a coffee shop somewhere with no pressure. Take baby steps. Be prepared to except failure. Or even her finding someone new it could happen at any time. Remember this is all your doing, stay strong and sober. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/11/23 03:22 AM |
| 2 | To sleep with your eXFrankly I'd be very suspicious of a honey trap of some kind. I'm not saying I wouldn't bang her but caution is the key to all dealings with you ex! I know that it would take years for her to regain my trust, but I'd never be able to have a relationship with her. Even if I did manage to trust her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/11/23 02:14 AM |
| 4 | So my wife, idk what she is actually, wanted space and now we are taking a “break”Please try to explain what she means by taking a break! Get her to define it. Best case she's stressed and will get over it. Unfortunately this is the least likely. When women honestly take a break from their relationship they almost immediately meat someone, or have a hookup often with alcohol involved. So even if they choose to come back the relationship is extremely damaged. It's not unusual for a man who waits for his partner to come back finds she's brought a pregnancy or STD back with her.… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/11/23 04:39 AM |
| 7 | She want us to set a good example...Regardless of her $hit you can still create a good example for your children. You have no control over her so ignore her. Focus on you and your actions. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/11/23 09:59 PM |
| 1 | Stuff* Happens: Here let me help you clean this up.Seriously I have no interest in changing myself. However the real ideal is to, 1 Try to lose as little as possible in the divorce.( Don't give away your future) 2 Learn your own value. 3 be comfortable with the fact that you can be happy with out a partner. 4 Move forward with this knowledge. Realistically your best chance of finding a true partner is not to need one and not searching for one. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/11/23 09:54 PM |
| 1 | What in the hell is going on here?You getting full custody would be best for the children. If CPS forces the change you'll have a case worker so follow their advice on child care. You'll do fine!! | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/10/23 02:00 PM |
| 4 | Why are we telling men to wait a year before dating?It really depends on the individual. Best to say don't get involved with someone until you've healed. Serious dating can lead to disaster, casual hookups shouldn't be a problem. The problem is you're very emotionally vulnerable and need to use extreme caution moving forward. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/10/23 05:04 PM |
| 2 | Need a different perspectiveHang in there life gets better. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/10/23 06:34 PM |
| 4 | Beginning the divorce processLet's be very frank, when a woman states she wants a divorce some sort of relationship is already going on. When she changes her mind it means the new thing didn't work out. She most likely had an affair with another woman. Then learned later the other woman didn't want anything serious. Welcome to the brotherhood!! | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/10/23 06:28 PM |
| 3 | I don’t even know where to start.. what’s the first step.See an attorney and plan your exit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/10/23 12:56 PM |
| 1 | Need a different perspectiveQuestion she wanted divorce after 4 months to be with another guy, and you didn't give her the boot? For crying out loud she valued you so little she already was reaching for another man after 4 months. Are you Shure it's your child? She obviously is not stable and is not going to ever be a good partner. So get clear as soon as possible. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/10/23 03:59 AM |
| 10 | This is a funny one, so bare with me.At this point does it matter. The only question might be paternity if children. If you have any questions in this get a Test done. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/10/23 03:07 PM |
| 2 | Ex BPD Wife & Fake social media accountGood for you remember once divorce starts there no longer your partner. They are your opponent. Also you may want to really think about the possibility that the thing with the boss started before the divorce. It seems to fit her actions. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/09/23 06:30 PM |
| 2 | Ex BPD Wife & Fake social media accountFrankly she feels it's all your fault. She's created an internal dialog that somehow you forced her to take the actions she took. ( this happens with many women especially ones that cheat.) So now she's hoping to find something to help her get the revenge she thinks she deserves. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/09/23 06:16 PM |
| 12 | Never thought I’d be in this position…To be honest. She's hanging on to your financial support, or just to avoid admitting she's to blame. The longer she stalls the worse it will be for you. And the more she can make it seem your just being unreadable. Move on with divorce and don't pull any punches, she has found someone else. Allways remember she found someone else! What she promised to you she has given to him! That's the honest truth. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/09/23 12:55 AM |
| 2 | Thought I Was Doing The Right ThingsUnfortunately this is a common theme. Brace yourself the worst is yet to come. Whole you are at home taking care of your daughter, she will be exploring the single life. I would not be surprised if she hooked up within the first week of separation. After all she has to experience to find herself, and focus on her happiness. Why should she wait for the divorce to be final. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/08/23 11:43 PM |
| 8 | She Started Bringing a "Friend" OverI tend to suspect there a reason their not going to his place. Maybe a wife, could be a chance for revenge! Think on it! | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/08/23 04:11 AM |
| 1 | My weird situation…My wife is also a native Chinese, believe me I feel your pain. Chinese women are very initialed. Also they only evaluate your feelings based solely on how much money you give them. After 25 years it's just getting worse. What I have a really hard time dealing with is they believe all other Chinese women's lies about husbands income and what not. One of her sisters has her convinced that her husband make 6 figures doing door dash. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/08/23 05:11 PM |
| 1 | What keeps me goingIf that keeps you going great! Eventually you will gain some equilibrium. But for right now keeping her from getting anything extra is the correct focus. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/07/23 01:29 PM |
| 2 | Question involving infidelity...Honestly she was already sleeping with someone when she asked to open up the marriage. Opening the marriage just made it easier and let her not feel guilty. Note she never told you about sex with him, so she already was in the habit of hiding the relationship. And realistically he's probably just the guy you found out about. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/07/23 02:20 AM |
| 2 | Is there something in the water?The researcher didn't cover that but I tend to believe it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/07/23 11:52 PM |
| 10 | Is there something in the water?I actually saw a recent talk by a female researcher who stated that society has it backwards. 90% of all infidelity is the woman not the man. She listed several reasons, the most notable one is that because women are constantly pursued, she just has to say yes. The reasons for saying yes very from hormonal to intoxication to just a difficult emotional situation. She also stated that in our society women are conditioned to blame all of the above situations on their husband's. Why and how I don't … | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/07/23 11:30 PM |
| 1 | I (20m) just found out my wife (19f) went on a date with another manSeriously the possibility that she has been unfaithful all along. So get a STD and DNA test done. Then please start the divorce proceedings started. She's is not the love of your life because she's not who you think she is. You've been fooled and taken advantage of. Fact the love of your life wouldn't be doing this to you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/07/23 01:28 AM |
| 1 | Wife’s new 23 year old bfLet's be honest I really doubt he thinks this will go anywhere except some easy sex. He has to know she's rebounding. In the end don't worry about it. Her sex life is not your business anymore except where it impacts your kids. And realistically the more poor judgement she shows the more likely you are to wind up getting full custody. When your kids start talking about mommies revolving boy toys, you can ask for a custody change. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/23 05:51 AM |
| 2 | “Nothing to worry about”Get a paternity test on the kids. There's a chance he was not actually an ex but a side piece. For all you know they've been meeting up all along. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/05/23 06:16 PM |
| 2 | Emotional affair, Don't know how to proceed.Let me be blunt. She's doing what's called monkey branching. She wants you and her safe family life on the hook while she separates in order to have the freedom to try a relationship with the new guy. That way if it doesn't work out she can slide back into her safe life. I would be very surprised if there has not been some physical activity already. She just wants to be certain of him before letting you go. My advice get a lawyer and file. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/05/23 04:54 PM |
| 17 | You served a purposeA relative of mine caught his wife cheating last year. Her response was "it's 2022 as a woman I can have all the dick I want and you can't say anything about it!" She was very surprised by the divorce and even more surprised to find out most guys found her very average. And only good for a quick tumble. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/05/23 06:46 PM |
| 3 | Am I Overreacting, Or Am I Justified To Feel This WayWhile I agree it's kind of disrespectful. I have to say get over it. Your divorce is final, and it's past time for you both to move on. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/05/23 04:50 AM |
| 2 | OnlyfansTalk to your lawyer. I have seen cases where child protective services pull a child out of the home because mom was an exotic dancer or possing nude in magazines. Your lawyer should know about possible uses and financial aspects effecting the divorce. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/05/23 10:48 AM |
| 4 | LonelyYour reaction is completely normal! It's actually a long recovery process. Unlike women men take longer to learn trust. The main difference is that women can jump right back into the game because they never trust in the first place. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/05/23 01:11 PM |
| 6 | Everywhere I lookIt's an unfortunate thing that our society blames all martial problems on the husband. Even an unfaithful wife can blame her affairs on her husband and get away with it. He must have some how caused it. This creates a situation where women are encouraged to leave instead of working on the relationship. My mother and father had problems aplenty but they worked on solving them together. I'm much older then the average poster here but I find few women my age and even fewer younger who are willing t… | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/04/23 08:05 PM |
| 1 | Going to war has taken its its toll.Sounds like a divorce in progress | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/04/23 09:58 PM |
| 1 | Should I tell her I want her back?Let me be frank. At this moment you've got a totally great settlement. If you take her back the next settlement will be much worse. You will probably lose custody of the kids. You know she's already sexting with someone else. She's moving on without you. She has made accusations of DV against you. Honesty does not seem to be her strong point. Also I strongly doubt she hasn't done more then just sexting. And even if you get back together what incentive is there for her to behave. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/04/23 09:27 PM |
| 9 | Today I decided to leave the house for a while…First did she start the fight and was it something unimportant? I'm asking because this is a tactic women use to excuse their bad behavior ( IE cheating or strongly considering cheating). Best move, call tonight if she answers ask to come get your clothes. If she says yes she maybe ready to talk. If she doesn't answer or refuses to see you. It's time to lawyer up. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/04/23 10:59 PM |
| 2 | When to tell potential new partner about divorce?Ask her to meet for coffee. Then bare your soul. She probably already knows but you'll get props for honesty. And a coffee shop is a safe meeting place lots of public and no intoxicates involved. So your obviously not trying to take advantage of her. All points in your favor she'll notice. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/04/23 10:27 PM |

And she married her husband because he was not abusive. No one really knows. I found a case where a teenager was raped a few years later she married a man she said was the most gentle guy she'd ever met. A week after the wedding her rapist starts coming around and she found not only could she not say no to him, but the forced sex with him was more satisfying then any other partner.

| 5 | Advice needed for early 30s divorced, and completely lost man.Yep face it your life has been yanked from under you. That's why we all talk about focusing on your self. First start working out, gives you something to do that takes all your attention. Make Shure you focus on your job while at work. Spend some time deciding what you want out of life. Then what you need to do as far as education goes to get there. Make a plan for you it's your life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/23 03:46 AM |
| 1 | When is it ok to date?Look the answer is different for everyone. Don't date because your afraid of being alone. You'll rush into a relationship that's even worse then your last. (experience thought me that) Don't put yourself though that. Learn to be happy with you. I'm short fat old (63) and ugly, and that's just great with me, and yes I do get dates, and may find someone special, but that's not important because I'm never alone I'm better company than anyone else. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/23 08:17 PM |

| 2 | Not the fatherA DNA test is a double edged sword. Also in many states if the child is born during the marriage your responsible for that child even if it's not yours. Also it just increases the already high emotional trauma. But knowing for Shure can create some piece of mind, if you can live with knowing their not your child. Either way talk to your CO get a counselor and legal help you need. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/23 01:36 PM |

There are legal brothels in Nevada and many nearby countries. Using a professional allows the experience to be all about you!! And you know going in what it's going to cost you, and what's going to happen. I've never had a relationship that wasn't a risky venture with unpredictable cost and results. I don't recommend it for a regular thing but just giving it a… | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/04/23 07:53 PM |
| 5 | Wife possibly having emotional affairWomen will always blame everything on the husband. They even blame their cheating on their husband. We all go though a suicidal time at the start of the separation. After all your reality just imploded. You have to hang onto the truth that it's not your fault. She made her own decisions. She had other options. But she chose divorce, and probably chose to cheat first. If there where problems in the marriage she could have talked to you. But that's not what she did. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/04/23 10:50 PM |
| 7 | Wife possibly having emotional affairLook you know it's not your fault!! She's going to blame you even if she pregnant from the new guy. The fact that she locked her phone tells you she's hiding something. Frankly you just have to hold on to what you know. It's not your fault!! And the hell with what everyone else thinks. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/04/23 09:48 PM |
| 2 | From my observations of my siblings and others, I could be wrong, but it seems like good marriages are only suited for specific types of people. I'm becoming more comfortable with the idea of living single indefinitely.The absolute perfect marriage is a partnership where both parties full focus is the others happiness. The problem with current society is that women are conditioned to think the purpose of a marriage is to spoil them. As long as either partner is focused on themselves more then 10 percent of the time it will fail! Also there needs to be a clear definition of roles. Who is in charge one of the partners must have the ability to end conflicts with a final decision that both accept completely. Other… | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/04/23 02:29 PM |
| 1 | How do you guys deal with the fact your ex-wives could pick anyone up in a week, but it might take you YEARS (or never)?Let's get real, no matter why the divorce she's going to blame you. And her revenge will focus on showing you how quick she can be a major slut. Most won't wait for divorce to be final. Just remember that's how desperate she is! | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/23 10:43 PM |
| 2 | Fuck, this hurts.Don't suck it up!! Feel free to be hurt and angry! You need to get those out of your system and can't help but feel it. Focus on supporting your children, and taking care of yourself. Find a hobby that keeps your mind occupied. Arrange private times when you can cry and rave away from the kids. Eventually you'll find the feelings lessen. Then work on your self confidence you are still as great a guy as you where before her. You'll know when you're ready to start dating. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/04/23 02:55 PM |

| 3 | My libido is alive again and I'm struggling to stay logical.I don't know where your located or your financial situation. But hey take a 3 day weekend from work and go to Nevada many if the brothels have web sites and provide limo service from closest airport. They are also fanatical about privacy. Just tell everyone you have tickets to a las Vegas show. (Make shore the show your claiming actually exist.) | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/04/23 12:27 AM |

| 3 | Does body count really matter?I can't quote all the literature but in both men and women the more casual your attitude to sexual activity the more liable you are to cheat! Regardless of the best intentions. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/03/23 12:28 AM |
| 21 | SO I'm a babysitter now?In all things related to divorce there is a court order. If she wants less time with the kids it's her loss!! Document the times and maybe you can eventually get full custody and make her pay support. Also what kind of example do you want your kids to have? A party girl or a responsible father? This whole thing seems to be a win for you and the kids. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/03/23 07:10 PM |
| 1 | Fathers divorceUnfortunately all he can do is carry on until they get to court. Best advice is to get with his attorney and see if it can be pushed forward. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/02/23 10:46 PM |
| 5 | If you think your spouse is cheating, and she already insisted on a divorce, should you give a crap?Realistically at this point, there's no reason to care. As for staying together the next 3 months f*vk that. She is moving on so should you. It's time to focus on your future! Start planning where you're going to live and what you're going to do. Pay attention to your career you will need it going forward. I'd put the shoe on the other foot, and get enrolled on some dating apps. (Make Shure she knows.) Discuss property settlement. Ask her when she can make time to meet with the attorney to start… | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/02/23 10:02 PM |

| 12 | Kettlebell ExplosionAmen!! Honestly it really sounds like mine. Normally you'll find the divorce talk and often the affair that it sounds like is going on are encouraged by co workers she confides in. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/01/23 02:02 PM |
| 1 | stbxw is introducing our 2 boys to her new boyfriendBasically you are forced by circumstance to give him the benefit of the doubt. Also you owe it to your children to get to know him, if your wife becomes serious with this guy. That is the only way you can protect your children. It stinks butt it's just the way things are. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/01/23 12:04 AM |
| 0 | My wife is able to tolerate an unhappy marriage. How did you know it was worth leaving?Actually trying to talk to your wife about problems involving lack of intamacy usually just makes it worse. (They tend to get defensive and nasty) It may help with the spending though. I would recommend ask her to help with monthly budget and saving goals. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/01/23 10:15 PM |

| 8 | Serious question: Should the possibility of sex work be used to impute income to a divorced mom?Actually the question does inspire a lot of contemplation. On the flip side being an only fans provider is grounds to be found unfit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/23 08:19 PM |
| 2 | New guyI understand the concern for your kids. What sucks is she knew you would be bringing the kids home at that time. When divorced parents start dating they need to prepare the children for the first meeting not try to set up a scene. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/23 07:58 PM |
| 2 | Men, Marriage and Michelle ObamaI just can't understand how people can let someone else's situation effect thier own life in such a negative way. I've had male friends go though nasty divorces and not effect any of their friends marriages. And of course we've all had male friends bragging about their sexcapades with out it ruining there friends lives. Males at least assume they're exaggerating things, and it has nothing to do with ourselves. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/01/23 12:27 AM |
| 5 | Men, Marriage and Michelle ObamaIf you ever get a chance to listen to women talking when they think men aren't around, you'll note some interesting trends. One most women are highly competitive for social status among the group. The most unhappy members of the group are the most vocal and for some reason the most listened to. But not about how unhappy they are about how wonderful thier lives are or how victimized they are. The listeners come to reflect these statements onto their own lives. Example a group of coworkers in a mo… | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/12/22 07:15 AM |

She had a wild time in new Orleans, went to a sex party got laid and decided that's what she wants. All the time since she's been trying to drive you off. Note her behavior. The second job was both to help move out and help cover other activities. She may be using recreational drugs or just dating. Let her move out and start building yourself a new life. You'll be amazed how much you soar when you let go. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/10/22 02:23 AM |
| 2 | Wife is trying to get me out of the houseVery sorry about your son's health, and hope he recovers completely. As to your wife moving to another room and getting out when she raging is a great idea. I have found that usually the first to forgive has the most successful post divorce life. In fact most successful marriages envolve a lot of constant forgiveness. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/10/22 11:39 AM |
