| 2 | Is there a natural way out of the depression? Time? Gym?yeah, i don't want to go on SSRI. You just need time. Do the normal things anyone would do when they are grieving like walk (getting a dog helps you walk more), pursue hobbies, hang around friends, journal, see a therapist to talk to you about the divorce grief. I've gone nuts on the video game playing at night and watching comedies before bed. It will pass. You sound like you're well on your way to closing that chapter of your life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/05/24 08:56 PM |
| 2 | Women keeping their ex-husbands last name after the divorce???? We are divorcing and I have no argument for her keeping my name. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/05/24 01:44 PM |
| 13 | Women keeping their ex-husbands last name after the divorceI do divorce for a living and most of my clients keep the husbands last name. It’s usually for the kids. Unless the husband was a pedo or criminal or abuser. Then they may seek to change the kids names. It may also have to do with them being known professionally under their married name. My wife is keeping my last name bc she just never liked her maiden name. I don’t think it’s a mind game lol. It’s usually practical. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/05/24 03:30 AM |
| 2 | Don't know what my options areI wish people on this subreddit would understand every single state has different laws that govern divorce and child custody and just about everything else. With that said I don’t know of any state has ‘instant and absolute divorce.’ Most states have waiting periods. Like in Texas it’s 60 days after filing. The only way to waive that 60 days is in domestic violence is involved. I also don’t think any judge will care whatsoever about your wife’s sex work. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/05/24 03:26 AM |
| 8 | I feel like I’m the only one?Nah you’re good. I feel so incredibly used and mistreated that I’ll need longer than I probably think to trust or want to be intimate with anyone. My wife was my kids stepmom for 10 years and she was so incredibly angry with me that I didn’t wish her happy Mother’s Day yesterday. And I was like ‘I thought you might take that as mocking you.’ Then she went on to say how that entire time being a good stepmom was worth nothing to anyone. And I was like no one had said that or is saying that and I’m… | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/05/24 06:54 PM |

| 8 | Waves of sadnessIt’s grief. It will take you maybe 2-3 months just to stabilize. Look up the steps people go through. You’re going to be doing all of those steps. Maybe in different order. So give yourself some grace. Start seeing a therapist. Friends and family. Start exercising. Then you’ll probably need to get to work on the divorce and uncoupling. Then you got a lot more work than today. Today is just about surviving. Getting sleep. Eating. Not spiraling or doing anything stupid. Stay grounded. Lean on peop… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/05/24 03:51 PM |
| -5 | When did 6ft tall become the barrier for entry to dating?I think I’ve heard a lot of women say this. Who cares? You should probably find some dates on those apps if you just keep to it. Just swipe right. Have a good profile. Go to a completely different subreddit that deals with dating and double check your profile. I doubt you have a perfect profile and women are like 5’11! Gross! Also you’re probably being judgmental about the smallest things too that might be considered ‘barriers of entry for dating.’ How many fat women are you swiping right on? | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/05/24 02:37 PM |
| 13 | What am I not seeing here?I scanned that. You aren’t getting back together. You cheated on her and she’s dumping your ass. Your child support will be 30% with 3 children. And I guess you’ll pay around 24% in taxes. So you’ll keep 46% of your pay check and lose half the value of all your shit. Good luck buddy. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/05/24 02:32 PM |
| 1 | It’s never enough for them…Oh. Is there no way to get into to court and get some orders in place prior to the year? That’s insane. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/05/24 11:23 PM |

| 9 | Why do all the men here get into a panic over Mother’s Day? It’s like anxiety takes over. I could be wrong but I highly doubt the same sentiment is shared on the other side of the fence.You know I think it’s the sub being most guys who are in their first year of divorce and separation. So it’s every single event in the year. How am I going to handle [Mother’s Day/birthday/thanksgiving/christmas]? I think it’s a no brainer in the second year: you just do. And the majority of comments are just let your kids get them something for those events. It’s still their mom. I think that’s one reason they always say wait a year. It seems like an arbitrary amount of time. But it’s something… | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/05/24 03:59 AM |

| 1 | Ex got a sizable bonus last yearIt doesn’t state they were married when she got the bonus. Maybe if he was married at the time. It depends on what the order says. You can always sue for post divorce division of community property. Like if it wasn’t divided in the decree. But I bet there is language in OPs final order that says she gets all the money in her bank account. So whomp whomp. If it’s a question about his child support, it’s legally irrelevant how much money she makes and what bonuses she makes in calculating child su… | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/24 06:40 PM |

| 4 | Today is the day of my divorce and I'm just so sad.I’m 10 years older and I did the same thing. We’ve all been there. I’m sorry this happened to you. You can only live life forward. You did what you could to save it. You weren’t a coward and weren’t a cheater. You did your relationship right. But you were right. You can’t carry the whole load and continue to do that for the next 50 years. You were right to walk away even though it’s like cutting your limb off. I know it hurts. This won’t be forever. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/24 12:32 AM |

| 2 | PLEASE HELP! NEED A QUESTION ANSWERED!No. It’s based on his net income. And it’s just a simple math problem and it’s set by the law. It’s usually looked at every 3 years. The fact that it’s not increased in 10 years is nice. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/05/24 03:01 PM |

| 3 | Why bother with mediation / settlement if a judge will just assign 50/50?Sorry brother | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 11:18 PM |
| 4 | Why bother with mediation / settlement if a judge will just assign 50/50?Trials are for unreasonable people. It’s also why this process takes up to a year. To let the trauma wear off enough to let people be reasonable. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 06:16 PM |
| 2 | Why bother with mediation / settlement if a judge will just assign 50/50?A trial costs you more money. Why go to trial if you can settle in mediation? Why go to mediation if you can just do an informal agreement? You also have no idea what the judge is going to do. It’s better to agree than to take a chance and let a third party decide. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 05:46 PM |
| 1 | ForgivenessI think I have forgiven my stbxw and then I’ll randomly be sitting alone and think about some bullshit she has done and realize I haven’t yet. I’m sure I will completely one day. Still fresh. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 05:19 PM |
| 2 | Reasonable Settlement Offer?You can put whatever you want in your decree but it’s not enforceable and the federal government won’t care. Their rules are their rules. I don’t live in a state where we do alimony. So I’m glad to hear the rules changed. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 04:10 PM |
| 2 | Reasonable Settlement Offer?I thought alimony was taxed. You called it tax free. Child Support is not taxed. So increasing CS saves her money. Also it’s probably easier to increase child support. Her reducing her your CS by 50% and asking for this very large number for alimony seems like a bait-and-switch. I would worry she would ask for a modification immediately. Also if she starts paying income taxes she will probably want to take back some of those kids for her taxes. Maybe all of them. You can’t really contract who cl… | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 01:43 PM |
| 3 | Took Her Less Than Two Months To Find Another ManNah. It’s not crazy to be upset. You still care about her and you’re going through it. I’m sorry she blew up your life. You be there for your kids. You’ll move past her. And most likely this won’t work out for her and will blow up on her face. She left a good man for a loser and I don’t even have to know this guy. I can just tell. Who goes after a married woman? | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/24 09:52 PM |
| 2 | This is my reality nowI think a book I read said the longest could be 3 1/2 years. But around a year is where it subsides. Journaling has been great for me too. I have some form of exercise I do almost every day. Even if it's just walking. It's important to recognize it's legitimately grief and you have to go through the process. You can't short circuit it. You're not smarter than literally the millions of people who have experienced this stuff. But people know how to cope. If there was a way to short circuit it or j… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/24 09:34 PM |
| 6 | This is my reality nowYou’re still in divorce depression but I’m told it leaves. You get out. That isn’t saying much to someone in the hole. But it’s not like regular depression that stays with you your whole life. It’s an event. I keep thinking it’s like my wife suddenly died. My relationship died. It’s grief. But millions of people have been through it. I’m going through it now. I just keep telling myself that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/24 06:49 PM |

| 3 | Ex trying to buy me outWhy would they give you above your half of the equity? It may continue to increase in value but you wouldn’t be paying towards that mortgage, taxes, insurance and for repairs.

| 9 | Ex trying to buy me outDo you think your house will go for above asking price? Like how many repairs need to be done? If they give you 50% of your equity you don’t have to pay the 6% (3%) realtor fee. You wouldn’t have to deal with buyers asking for repairs or chip away at your asking price. This is purely a business deal at this point. You need to put your emotions in a closet and do some pen to paper. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/05/24 04:39 PM |

| 1 | Calculating child supportIm not sure I get your question. You can agree to a child support amount that would differ from the standard math problem the way the law would calculate it. Yes. Online calculators are reliable. Our state does 20% of net income for one child for example. There a few things that probably don’t apply to that changes that amount. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/05/24 05:36 PM |
| 4 | Mutual friendsThere is the dumper and the dumpee. She sounds like the dumper. So she feels guilt and she’s ’building a case’ not for your benefit but for her own peace of mind. You don’t get anything out of her autopsy of the dead relationship. You’re the dumpee. So you feel the blow. It crushes your confidence. I would just keep a low profile and quit talking to her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/05/24 05:32 PM |

| 7 | Feeling like I shouldn’t date anymoreWhy do we get out of a ten year marriage and immediately start thinking about dating before rebuilding our lives and discovering who we are as individuals? Of course you have low self confidence. That’s like in step 1 of 19. So yeah you’re no where near dating. Don’t you dare start a relationship. When your rebound dumps your ass you’ll find an even deeper level of depression than you’ve found because you didn’t put on that work to be yourself.

| 2 | DiscussionMy stbxw was a huge feminist. But I really think the thread was lost at some point. She wasn’t like your lady and didn’t cheat on me. She did make me rethink some things about myself at the end of a 9 year marriage and one of them is this masculine/feminine thing. She did do the ‘I’m not happy thing.’ I mean women should have a checking account and a chance in the workplace etc etc. But it doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t display confidence, strength, and leadership. Dare I say masculine traits. Th… | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/04/24 01:55 PM |

| 2 | How long did your divorce take?You’re asking specific legal questions and should talk to your lawyer now. Interest rates are so high right now I don’t imagine a refinance and buy someone out of their equity is worth it to people right now. Haven’t seen anyone do it lately. Business probably requires an expert. So I’m not sure. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/04/24 03:04 PM |
| 3 | DiscussionYeah. I think some larger percentage of men and women don’t want to be husbands and wives but try marriage anyway. You either run through to get what you want to move on like changing jobs or you don’t get what you wanted (which wasn’t a husband or wife) and move on. And I don’t want to go too deep into my opinion on this bc it sounds like a rejection of feminism and even anti-trans but I think flat out rejection of masculine and feminine gender roles has left people confused on what to do in th… | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/04/24 01:10 PM |

And yes I’ve had one lasted 3 and 1/2 years. But those are so rare and the judge here will literally get angry with you. But things can happen in cases.

| 2 | Is division of assets determined based on the date of filing, or date of divorce decree being signed?Honestly brother. You’re talking about some low numbers and debt. So you’re probably good. No worries | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/04/24 10:54 PM |

| 5 | Kids at age 14 can "decide who they live with." How does this work?I'm sure you're doing the right thing. i wasn't questioning you. I'm just personally not a big fan of dragging children down to the courthouse to pick a parent. Yall can downvote me for that opinion. There are easier ways to get custody than doing this. Most of the times a parent will relent and just let it happen before you get there. Especially if they're older children. What are you going to do to a 16 year old with a driver's license? Lock them in their room? | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/04/24 07:45 PM |

I have to say it’s very different and doesn’t make it any easier when it’s your own life on the line.

There is a book by John Gottman that I worked through in marriage counseling that I thought really made sense to me.

| 10 | Terminating child support paymentsShe can put zero child support and you give her a large sum in exchange. But she can immediately modify and put you on child support. You’ll go up to court say I gave her more equity in property division. And the judge will laugh at you and put you on child support. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/24 04:01 PM |

You can put a custody order in place so she doesn’t move away with your kid. Getting your kids on the weekends aren’t so bad. At some point they spend most of the time in school. You get long summers with them. Even if worse comes to worse you aren’t losing your kid. I kind of hate the term visitation. I’m with my son. I have a room for him. He has clothes in his closet.

I just don’t want to date a project. Or as they say in the book no more Mr. Nice Guy, find a diamond in the rough. Because you can spend a lot of your time building them up but you aren’t growing. That doesn’t answer your question. I might. But I would want to know how independent she is. I think I had certain patterns I keep doing and I don’t want to do those patterns anymore. … | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/24 12:11 AM |
| 3 | Being ghosted by my adult son after weeks of relative normalcy. Advice?I’m saying young adults don’t always call their parents back. If I got upset every time my 15 year didn’t text me back I’d be upset all the time. They’re kids. You leave the door open to them. You love them. You support them. Also there might literally be something else going on with them that has nothing to do with this young man’s parents getting divorced. He needs to talk to his son (the 21 year old man). And try to do that by being direct and assertive. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/24 07:16 PM |
| 2 | Being ghosted by my adult son after weeks of relative normalcy. Advice?I doubt a 21 year old is spending most of their time with their mom. OP knows the kid better than us. So I could be wrong. But I really think kids 15 and up start to know who their parents are as people. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/24 04:34 PM |
| 2 | Being ghosted by my adult son after weeks of relative normalcy. Advice?Perhaps something is going on with him that has nothing to do with you, the main character. Maybe ask his mom. Or someone else he would talk to | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/24 04:31 PM |
| 3 | Being alone sucks, still better than being ignoredI have my dog and friends and family (my teenage son when he’s here). I’m taking a boys trip to Vegas this weekend. I’m not isolated. There’s so much activity and stuff you can fit into a day when someone isn’t being needy for your time. Whenever I start dating again it’s going to have to be a real special woman to pull my time away from me. I think I spent a lot of my 20s and 30s trying to get laid and thinking I needed a wife. I really enjoyed being married with the last one too. Im not ‘going… | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/24 02:03 PM |

| 1 | Getting divorce but still living togetherI guess i spent almost 3 months together before we separated. It was an issue of selling our house and separating our stuff. But we were on good terms. And no one was cheating. There wasnt anything weird. your situation seems way worse. But even under those conditions it was still brutal and sad. Oh yeah. I am a divorce lawyer. I told her from day 1 I would not move out of the house until it was under contract. She offered me cash to leave and I didn’t take it. We actually got an extremely good … | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/04/24 04:59 AM |

Whether it’s a family member, co worker or a random guy in traffic. I’m doing all the healthy things like exercise, go to therapy and do the homework and spending time with men. I’ve tried talking to another woman and I just realized I’m not ready. I don’t really have an answer for you besides just acknowledging your valid emotions and try not to be a worse person in the world an… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/04/24 04:14 PM |
| 1 | Child support after lying and getting a new job. Need adviceYou’ll need to go to court and modify the orders and it cannot be done without a signature on an order by a judge. So the answer to question is no. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/04/24 01:50 AM |
| -1 | Do I take it to courtWhat are you trying to accomplish? If you’re looking to go to court to get ‘justice’ or ‘the truth out there,’ yeah I would say you’re wasting your time. The purpose of a divorce court is to deal with children and division of assets. That evidence might be useful for those discussions. But if not then just do a quick divorce and be on your way. Healing from being in an abusive relationship isn’t for divorce court. If there is likelihood for it to continue into the future then yeah of course. You… | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/04/24 08:42 PM |

| -1 | Texas DivorceYou’d need to be married for 10 years or there be Domestic Violence. A judge might order in a temporary orders hearing to keep a household afloat. But I don’t think that would happen in your case. Honestly dude all you have is a house with some equity. Get 50/50 and move on. Don’t give her any more. If she demands go see the judge. The hearing will last 30 minutes on something stupid like this. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/24 04:53 AM |

| 1 | Texas DivorceNo spousal support here unless there is DV. A judge could order spousal in a temporary orders hearing maybe even if she wouldn’t qualify for it at final but I doubt that here. But all that money you have in savings and retirement is half hers. If you came into the marriage or inherited property that’s separate and yours to keep. It’s a community property state otherwise. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/24 04:41 AM |
| 1 | Texas DivorceHis question really isn’t about spousal support. She wouldn’t get it anyway due to none of the facts available to meet the factors here. Unless OP is leaving stuff out. But it’s not limited to 6 months max. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/24 04:36 AM |
| 1 | Texas DivorceBrother go to court. She cannot refinance and give you the equity. I guarantee it. Sell the damn house and split 50/50. Anything less is you getting fucked. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/24 04:32 AM |

| 5 | One of the things that bothers me the mostYou know what’s funny? I gave my wife a scrap book of the year on Christmas. I made myself with keepsakes and printed photos. 500 pictures that categorically showed we had a good time and a good life. We traveled. We went to plays. We played games outside. We hung out with friends. We ate at nice restaurants. …she said the same thing. I ignored her. I did this. I did that. She was unhappy. She wanted to be somewhere else.

| 2 | World changed right before my eyes.I think the leadership part rings true. I considered it 50/50 so I never liked being completely in charge. She actually asked for a divorce in marriage counseling. Which made me feel like an abuser. She said she did it so I could have support. From a complete stranger. I got up and left. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/04/24 02:01 PM |
| 2 | World changed right before my eyes.I should have been more specific. She seems to have defined it as some bygone era in her 20s and I hope she can find that in her 40s. Things will certainly change and I hope she finds it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/04/24 01:35 PM |
| 4 | She misstated her income in the separation agreement. What to do?Seems like you’re asking for legal advice and I don’t feel comfortable giving that.
