| 2 | Useless at 50Similar situation. What I did differently was trying to date. I think I wanted to see if someone else would be interested in me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/07/25 12:04 PM |
| 6 | For those of you dealing with cheating, how do you get over the anger?She is no longer the person that I fell in love with. Not my problem anymore. It took quite a bit of therapy to just let those feelings go. There was a lot of anger and insecurity from watching her choose someone else over the man that gave her a family and everything she ever asked for. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/06/25 12:32 PM |
| 2 | Question for you guys! As husbands and fathersYour wife needs to work on her own issues. Has she tried therapy? Be the father your daughter needs at least one stable parent | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/05/25 12:35 PM |
| 1 | Should I be trembling my stbxw is shopping for this?Justice | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/05/25 04:45 PM |
| -2 | Should I be trembling my stbxw is shopping for this?I am convinced my ex cast a spell on me My job, friendships, health, etc. have all deteriorated severely since separation | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/05/25 03:08 PM |
| 1 | I feel like damaged goodsMore specifically. She cheated and she was abusive. And she asked for the divorce. But people assume I was the one that must have done some, or all, of those things. Because only men can destroy a marriage and a family (in some people's minds) | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/05/25 03:05 AM |
| 1 | Wife moved out, can I pack her items up and put in garage?That's a much nicer gesture than I would have done | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/04/25 12:04 PM |
| 2 | Have any of you stayed with you ex partner under the same roof after separation long term?That's a good way to put it. The uncertainty can be rough. But for me it is better than splitting everyone up. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/04/25 08:08 PM |
| 3 | Have any of you stayed with you ex partner under the same roof after separation long term?Currently living together and sharing financial and parenting responsibilities. Hoping to stay civil until we can afford to move on, but this economy is not helping! | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/04/25 05:51 PM |
| 8 | Is it easier to move on when you know your ex is dating again?Yes. She started dating before we broke up. Knowing that she had already moved on made it easier to accept and realize our marriage was over. I use the phrase "she is someone else's problem now" frequently | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/12/24 01:21 PM |
| 2 | Did anyone else lose their sense of attraction?That looks like the list someone shared with me over a year ago. I don't want to pretend to be someone else or play games. I just want to be myself and honestly portray myself. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/24 12:41 AM |
| 1 | Did anyone else lose their sense of attraction?I am 100% attracted to women. My problem is that they all say it is too soon for me to date. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/12/24 08:06 PM |
| 6 | Never Have to Walk Through That Back Door Ever Again.Thanks for triggering some trauma for me 🫨 😂 | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/11/24 01:36 PM |
| 20 | Believe what she saysSo as soon as we got married?! 😕😔 | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/11/24 07:23 PM |
| 5 | Has Divorce Prompted You to Reexamine and/or Change Your Core Beliefs About Life and Purpose?Absolutely I spent over 20 years just identifying as a husband and a father. I have spent the last year exploring who I am and what I want to be. It is refreshing and exciting. I am still an awesome father by the way, LOL. My kids see me being more active and energetic and I think that is a positive influence | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/10/24 02:45 PM |
| 6 | Wife goes to dinner after work and doesn’t communicate it.This sounds way too familiar Sorry bud. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/10/24 04:07 PM |
| 3 | Is online dating worth it?There are people out there that have found success, so it might work for you. I had fun matching and chatting with women. But meeting them in real life was a huge disaster. 😂😱 | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/10/24 01:17 PM |
| 1 | I feel like damaged goodsNot even dating yet! Just talking to new people that I meet. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/10/24 04:14 AM |
| 1 | I feel like damaged goodsThanks | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/10/24 12:02 AM |
| 1 | I feel like damaged goodsNo. Never I feel like when I meet a woman and we start chatting, I'll mention "going through a divorce" and they instantly change their facial expression from flirty smile to guarded. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/10/24 06:37 PM |
| 1 | I feel like damaged goodsLegally separated for about a year. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/10/24 06:35 PM |
| 5 | I feel like damaged goodsI don't think it is correct. Did I cause her to fall in love with her coworker? Must be my fault that she gave up a loving husband and a stable family. I worshipped her and gave her everything she ever wanted. There has been quite a bit of self-reflection since she said we are done and the only thing I am guilty of is ignoring a few years of red flags that she was sneaking around | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/10/24 06:33 PM |
| 4 | Sex drive is through the roof as I go through divorce. Anyone else have this experience.Dude, my sexless marriage was YEARS. I'm currently on antidepressants that have a side effect of low libido. It has enabled me to focus on things instead of being a raging hormone monster. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/24 05:22 PM |
| 3 | Give in to divorce?I tried for several years to change her mind. But she eventually made it clear that she wanted out. It was incredibly painful to have that realization wash over me. But that was the worst day, and it is behind me now. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/09/24 02:43 PM |
| 5 | Did anyone end up being Happy their Wife Divorced them?Yes. When she is moody or snippy I don't ask "what's wrong" I just say "sounds like you're busy, talk to you later" | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/09/24 12:36 PM |
| 2 | Alchoholic Wife100% this. She never believed me the next day when I would try to explain how she was. Of course, this also led to "I can't believe you filmed me! Asshole!" So tread carefully 🙏 | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/09/24 03:31 PM |
| 3 | 20 years of marriage suddenly ending. I thought we were ok. Anyone been through this? Two kids. Feel like my life is over.My experience felt sudden. But after several months of reflecting on previous situations I realized there were many signs and clues that I ignored or missed completely. Basically I was in denial that something bad was happening to my marriage. I hope you find your way through this. I was at rock bottom and honestly didn't think I could recover. But now I'm excited about living the second half of my life, however it ends up. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/08/24 12:41 PM |
| 8 | Dating but not officially divorcedI tried and most women said "call me when your divorce is final" | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/08/24 11:37 AM |
| 11 | What do you think people usually get wrong about you and your divorce?Everyone assumes I did something wrong. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/08/24 12:30 AM |
| 7 | I‘ve to pay alimony to wife?Call a lawyer, use the free consultation. Call another lawyer.... Repeat until you fully understand what you are facing Laws vary by state and it can be confusing | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/08/24 01:31 PM |
| 3 | When do I stop wearing my ringIt's been about a year for me, and I still instinctively touch my finger with my thumb to see if it is there. 20 years of being paranoid about losing it. LoL | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/08/24 01:09 PM |
| 2 | Did you date during your divorce? How did it go?I tried. But 2 things were common for me: 1: the person that showed up was significantly older than their dating profile. I don't like the deception "You seem like a great guy, call me when your divorce is final" | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/07/24 12:27 PM |
| 1 | Were signs there before your divorce? Pre-marriage specifically?Afair with her co-worker | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/06/24 01:30 AM |
| 1 | Were signs there before your divorce? Pre-marriage specifically?In my case, the red flags appeared after 15 yrs of marriage. I was in denial for the next 5 yrs and then everything came to light and it hit hard | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/06/24 11:46 AM |
| 8 | Watch out for scammers on here.Yeah. I tried bumble and attracted a few scammers. They aren't smart enough to realize divorced men are less likely to have money to steal 😅 | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/04/24 01:30 AM |
| 8 | LuckyI'm 50 and feeling great. It wasn't easy to get here, but I'm looking at what I want to do for myself with the second half of my life. It's going to be awesome 😎 | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/03/24 01:24 AM |
| 2 | The light switch affect..Basically a woman can just wake up one day and no longer be in love with you. It happens fast, like a light switch. They may still care about you as a person, but all romantic and emotional connections are just gone. It didn't make any sense to me, but now I understand that it is a real thing. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/02/24 10:10 PM |
| 1 | The light switch affect..It was the hardest thing to understand. But once I had a few people explain it I was confident in responding in a similar way | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/02/24 08:09 PM |
| 7 | Is it better to divorce when wife is working or not working?Lawyer told me I'm screwed financially after she cheated and asked for a divorce. Stay at home mom vs. my full-time salary. Living in a no-fault state. I suggest waiting until she is working again. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/02/24 04:54 PM |
| 1 | Dating a recently divorced guyI wish you luck. I hope you both get through this | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/01/24 04:08 PM |
| 1 | Dating a recently divorced guyI didn't say there was no hope. I was just trying to give some insight. You have to talk to him, when he is ready to talk. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/01/24 01:18 AM |
| 2 | Dating a recently divorced guyYou would be surprised So many of us would rather suffer alone than admit anything is wrong. I spent years pretending everything was fine until I just broke emotionally and physically. Luckily I finally admitted defeat to myself and told a close friend that I knew had gone through a similar experience and reluctantly started therapy after one of my kids suggested it (maybe 12 at the time?). | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/01/24 05:26 PM |
| 2 | Dating a recently divorced guyIt's possible he is truly confused and conflicted There is trauma in divorce and everything that led to divorce. It is extremely hard to work through it and most men choose to suffer alone. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/01/24 02:55 PM |
| 2 | Dating a recently divorced guyBest to talk to him about it We don't know enough information to understand your relationship | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/01/24 02:47 PM |
| 5 | Be honest did anybody cheat at their bachelor party if so to what extent?I didn't and do not know anyone that has. I couldn't be friends with someone that would do that | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/01/24 08:58 PM |
| 11 | ConfessionIn my state it doesn't even matter. She gets half even if she is guilty of stuff. I was told the only exception is child abuse. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/01/24 10:16 PM |
| 3 | Alimony 11 k/month 5 years 10 k /month 5 years !?I make 20 k/month after taxes is this as horrendous a deal as it appears???In some states the alimony is the length of marriage. It isn't always negotiable | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/01/24 01:04 PM |
| 8 | Did counselling help any men?Yes But you have to be willing to be honest and also listen. It didn't save my marriage, but it helped me learn what was wrong and how to move forward. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/01/24 10:05 AM |
| 11 | Has anyone divorced due to lack of intimacy or sexual attraction?My ex was on her period every week for 5 years! One time I told her to think of a better lie and that did not go well at all 😂 | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/01/24 08:27 PM |
| 30 | Has anyone divorced due to lack of intimacy or sexual attraction?Yes and no 🤷 zero intimacy was just a symptom of many more serious problems. Definitely not the main reason. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/01/24 08:25 PM |
| 6 | Go work out they say…I hit the gym to - do something, to get out of the house - improve physical self (weight, strength, endurance) - clear my head from depressing thoughts - challenge myself to meet goals I don't hang out anywhere with my shirt off, so attracting females is not on that list. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/01/24 07:42 PM |
| 12 | Just a ‘Friend’!So true. If you research emotional affairs, they can be more devastating than physical affairs. They are bonding more intimately. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/24 11:05 PM |
| 3 | How to handle last minute promises when you've had the talk to leave?I spent a while in that "I'll forgive you if you promise to love me again" mood. But after working through all of the memories of how she hurt me, there is zero chance of me accepting any apologies that she may offer. I know it would be just another lie. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/12/23 03:13 AM |
| 2 | Anyone else?My therapist told me to hang out with friends and find hobbies to meet new people. Sounds easy enough, but after more than 2 decades of being a husband and a father, I had no activities of my own. I tried online dating... The texting was good practice to interact with women and I was excited to meet them in real life. But they all had used fake pictures so I deleted the app after the 3rd failed attempt. I have met someone recently, but I have no skills to get past the friendship stage. I'm total… | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/12/23 05:55 PM |
| 1 | Heading to meet an attorney thatMany law firms have calculators on their websites. Search for them in your state. I found that my free consultations were just them typing into that same calculator. I was shocked to learn that in my state it doesn't matter if someone cheats, it doesn't matter who is right/wrong, everything is 50/50 split unless children have been abused. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/12/23 03:47 PM |
| 12 | Party Invitations…Ex-wife on E-mail ListWe are still "keeping up appearances" as we work through the divorce I used to be a wallflower at parties and be sad when she was talking with people and I was alone. But now I walk around and talk to people. I make them laugh and make sure I am having fun. I don't do it for her to see, I do it to practice being social so I can survive and thrive after this process is over. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/12/23 05:40 PM |
| 1 | Who has gone to a female therapist during divorce and what was your exoerience like?It has been great to get a female perspective to help me understand how to navigate everything 10/10 would recommend | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/23 04:32 PM |
| 2 | Did parents moving in or needing to move in with parents ruin your sex life and marriage?That happens with children too!!!! Lots of sex to make a few babies, that was fun. But then it was occasionally, and eventually just non-existent. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/12/23 08:46 PM |
| 5 | So what exactly happens if you dump your life savings into Bitcoin and 'forget' the password?All of the tricks have been tried. Good luck thinking of a new one | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/11/23 01:16 PM |
| 1 | Double standard?Excellent points Thank you I'd rather not enter into the hookup culture. I'm just going to exist and maybe meet someone eventually without trying | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/11/23 05:32 PM |
| 1 | Double standard?But they all ask right away. I'm not going to lie | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/11/23 12:15 AM |
| 3 | Double standard?Not trolling,I am just being honest as I figure out how to date again. I haven't been on a date since the 1990's and it is NOT the same! LOL | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/11/23 09:03 PM |
| 2 | Double standard?I see so many women (wife's friends) sharing screenshots of dating apps. I think lying there is asking for trouble. So much evidence! I have never had a guy friend show me anything or even admit to using an app. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/11/23 08:47 PM |
| 1 | Double standard?40+ | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/11/23 08:42 PM |
| 2 | Double standard?Valid point. I'm hoping to find just one person willing to hang out so I can feel worthy and capable of having a life beyond this failed marriage | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/11/23 08:38 PM |
| 2 | Double standard?I meant dating as in coffee, dinner, drinks. I'm making connections and am looking to talk to a woman and see where it leads. I do not expect sex or a commitment, just a date. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/11/23 08:37 PM |
| 4 | Double standard?That makes sense, thanks | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/11/23 05:28 PM |
| 1 | Splitting assets when spouse doesn't make incomeIn a similar situation She is complaining that she needs more money. I just don't understand why she didn't think this through BEFORE demanding a divorce. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/11/23 02:32 PM |
| 1 | How much alimony and for how long?In my state it would be 20 yrs of payments after 20 yrs of marriage. It's like winning the lottery for some of these X's | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/11/23 01:12 AM |
| 3 | How much alimony and for how long?There are online calculators that you can enter in the numbers for your state and get a result. Or you can call a lawyer for a free consultation and they ask you for the same info and use the same calculator to tell you the results. The lawyer can also explain how these numbers are not 100% because there may be other circumstances for the judge to consider. Good luck. You will probably not be happy with the amswer | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/11/23 02:16 PM |
| 14 | Sex while separated, do *you* consider it cheating?If it is a separation to cool off and work on the relationship, then yes. If it is a separation while waiting for divorce, then no | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/11/23 02:04 PM |
| 1 | Thoughts on same house co-parenting or just get a divorce and live in separate houses?It is possible. I know people that have happily co-parented. You can set boundaries for relationships. No visitors, no introductions to kids, etc. It isn't easy and it certainly isn't for everyone, but it is possible | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/11/23 11:01 PM |
| 3 | I just got an amicable divorce. What should I do now?Same here My therapist keeps telling me to meet people and do stuff. I've been a husband and a father for so long I don't know what to do I mean, I do know but it's hard to transition | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/11/23 11:37 PM |
| 7 | Married and trappedShe will get half your retirement anyway, gradually, when you retire. The sooner you break it off, the less her "half" will be That's how I look at it, but I'm not an accountant | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/11/23 01:19 PM |
| 2 | Shit get half of my stuff, I get what?My wife bought alcohol and fancy dinners for 'ladiea night's I bought dirt bikes and tools and tried to save for retirement. I feel your pain | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/10/23 12:45 PM |
| 20 | How do you get over your ex that you still love?Someone told me I was in love with the memory of her. I held on to those good times and was in denial of all of the signs that things were over. I thought about previous conversations and actions and saw a few clues that she was changing. Once I realized she had already been gone for years and there was no way to change her back to who she once was, it was so much easier to let her go. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/10/23 12:41 PM |
| 8 | F*^k YouPreach brother | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/10/23 03:19 AM |
| 27 | So weird how many of us saw our wives get addicted to scrolling TikTok constantly.My version is similar. She would get agitated if I asked her to just put it down for a minute so we can discuss something. I would get so angry if I texted her something important or tried to call her and she wouldn't respond. Because I know she is always on her phone and I know she saw me trying to contact her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/10/23 04:51 PM |
| 2 | Trying to keep cool, it's hard as F@#&You will drive yourself crazy trying to understand her actions. She is no longer the person you married. Focus on yourself and your kids. I spent years trying to "fix things" and only recently learned to let her go. I am not responsible for anything she does. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/10/23 03:25 PM |
| 2 | Just need to ventMy wife told me to get therapy for my depression and my therapist said I was depressed because my wife is terrible. So I switched therapists and the next one said the same thing. My wife did not like that at all LOL We are getting a divorce for more reasons than that, but it certainly didn't help the situation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/10/23 10:59 PM |
| 5 | Simps with no PRENUPI don't know what a simp is, but.... I was poor as fuck when we got married, so a prenup didn't make sense | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/10/23 04:48 PM |
| 4 | It gets so much better!Thank you | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/10/23 03:58 AM |
| 11 | Chances wife will change her mind?My wife has been watching her friends enjoy the apps and wants to join the fun. It was a shock to me but her mind was made up long before telling me. So anything I could say was too late. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/10/23 05:33 PM |
| 6 | Do you all revisit child support and divorce agreement periodically?I know it can be done, but each state may handle it differently. Best to ask a lawyer | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/10/23 11:32 PM |
| -9 | She's Not Yours, Its Just Your TurnWe have no idea what kind of relationship they had. One of them could have been abusive or something Being rich and famous does not make you a good spouse | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/09/23 11:16 PM |
| 1 | Is it good that you pay/paid for everythingI'm about to lose property and money. But I am also losing a major source of emotional damage. Hard to put a price on that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/09/23 09:26 PM |
| 2 | Ex BPD Wife & Fake social media accountI would just ignore her. She is probably digging for a reaction. Some people feel like they still have power over you if they can get you to respond. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/09/23 02:37 PM |
| 4 | Ex BPD Wife & Fake social media accountNo one knows why they do what they do I am constantly surprised and confused by my STBXW's actions and comments | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/09/23 01:49 PM |
| 1 | Just getting into this, coming to terms with it allThere are a variety of topics that we were fighting about. I was in denial for years thinking I could fix things. But you cannot force someone to love you. She wants a different life and all I can do is accept the fact that it is over. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/09/23 11:07 PM |
| 2 | I'm super upset and can't be bothered to do anything.Lawyer today | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/09/23 06:57 PM |
| 4 | Getting a divorce. Wondering about others experiences when there is a high disparity in income and kids involvedDoes she have the ability to get a higher-paying job? There are a lot of stay-at-home moms with masters degrees that can bounce back into a career | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/09/23 02:05 PM |
| 23 | Does your ex refuse to see reality, understand what she did?Yes She had the affair, she told me she didn't love me, she suggested divorce, she said she would never consider reconciliation, but somehow I forced her hand on this decision. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/09/23 12:06 AM |
| 5 | Alimony length and girthI honestly thought this was how it worked! Boy was I shocked when I talked to a lawyer | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/09/23 02:14 PM |

| 1 | Holding On Too LongMy STBXW was frustrated as a stay at home mom. Started going out with her friends more and more often. Friendships with men, etc. Same old story Sorry for your situation. I hope you find peace somehow | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/09/23 05:03 PM |
| 4 | I think I am about to join the ranks…Sorry bud. It's rough. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/23 11:19 PM |

| 19 | Did COVID ruined your marriage somehow?I think it sped things up for sure We were already fighting regularly before COVID. Lockdown just forced everything to the surface. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/23 12:26 PM |
| 2 | Online Dating: Best Site? Do you put divorced on profile?I would be worried the app would match me with her 😂 | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/23 01:11 AM |

| 2 | She came home, f’ed up againI lived like this for too long Document it as much as possible. My STBXW did not understand why I was mad at her the next day. She insisted I was the one being mad at her for no reason because she honestly couldn't remember how she got home or what she said when she got home. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/09/23 03:02 PM |
| 3 | How many of you relocated post-divorce?I want to be near my kids. So that isn't an option. However, if I didn't have kids I would definitely get the heck out of here and be a cowboy or something 😎😂 | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/09/23 02:55 PM |
| 5 | Genuinely happy marriagesI don't know if other people are happy or not in their marriages If you asked my friends and neighbors they would say my STBXW and I are the perfect happy couple. But they do not know our personal struggles | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/23 11:58 PM |
| 22 | After a long enough time here and in my own marriage, I’m seeing other people’s relationships as time bombsI told a recently divorced friend about my divorce and he didn't even blink. It was like he was relieved that I finally realized what he had already seen and predicted in his mind. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/23 06:24 PM |
| 1 | Does anyone Else Deal With Anxiety With All Things Marriage Related?I can be happy for other people. Of course it triggers my own memories but they aren't me so I have to wish them well and hope they are happy | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/09/23 12:53 PM |
| 7 | Crazy or just manipulative?Stupid games. That sucks 😔 | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/09/23 06:32 PM |
| 1 | I need help.Hang in there. The worst part should be over | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/09/23 01:19 PM |
| 1 | I need help.It's normal, you need to work through the stages of grief for your loss. She is gone | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/09/23 12:26 PM |
| 7 | Nearing DivorceGoing through the same. I also considered suicide because I have spent all of my time and emotions into her and the kids. So what is the point? But luckily I had a therapist tell me that there is a path to happiness for me. And there is one for you too. We just need to work through the stages of grief and get there on our own time. But we will get there brother! | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/09/23 05:55 PM |
| 2 | Need a divorce but can't survive financially. How to pull the trigger?Currently trying to figure this out myself. A consultation with a lawyer was devastating. when he said what the maintenance would be, it would not leave me enough to pay my own bills. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/09/23 04:53 PM |
| 14 | Want to divorce wife after her affair, but don't want to see my kids less, leave house, and lose half my stuff.It isn't fair at all. I wonder how many spouses know this and just fuck around until they get caught. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/09/23 05:52 AM |

| 4 | Should I delete my door bell app?Please stop torturing yourself She is going to do whatever she wants and might even be parading him past the camera to piss you off. Don't let her hurt you more than she already has. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/09/23 06:35 PM |
| 1 | Tips, suggestions, wisdom?Married 20 years. Teenage kids. My goal is to stay strong for them and not allow myself to be vindictive or emotional. How I handle this will have an impact on their lives and right now that is more stressful than losing her. As far as timing on life, this is what I am calling her midlife crisis. Whether that is true or not, it is what I am telling myself to work through it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/09/23 06:29 PM |
| 3 | Tips, suggestions, wisdom?That sounds 100% similar We will be stronger after all of this | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/09/23 05:58 PM |
| 2 | Tips, suggestions, wisdom?It's horrible. I'm working through all of the emotions too. I have fought hard to convince her that I am a loving, loyal husband but it was just a wasted effort. The switch has flipped and she could no longer see me as a husband or lover. I was hoping it was a phase but she finally made it crystal clear that her decision will not change. I can't trick or force her into loving me. So I have to learn to be OK with that and try to maintain a friendship for the sake of the kids. You need to figure o… | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/09/23 05:30 PM |
| 4 | It’s been over a year since she had an affair and we separated but the divorce just started. When should I start dating again? How do I know that I’m ready to start dating again?Everyone is different. Wait until you are ready and don't listen to friends and family pressure you into anything | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/09/23 05:09 PM |
| 2 | Just getting into this, coming to terms with it allUnderstood, thanks. I've got a document started, but it is far from formal at this point | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/23 11:46 PM |
| 3 | Just getting into this, coming to terms with it allSo far we are being nice about it. I absolutely fear the "friends" influence that will for sure be there soon. Is the separation agreement with a lawyer or just a document you are creating? | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/23 11:36 PM |
| 2 | Wanted to compare experiencesOMG this is a nightmare. Why did I read this? I'm so sorry for you 😞 | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/23 10:54 PM |
| 1 | What is wrong with the "System"Yeah. My wife has been refusing to get a job for a few years now. A main factor in the breakup. I'm pissed that I have to pay to maintain her lifestyle when doing so will cause me to have zero lifestyle | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/23 10:50 PM |
| 9 | Possible hook up after divI've read a lot of comments about waiting for a year after divorce But after a few years of no sex, I'm starting to think I won't be able to wait. 🤷 I say go for it as long as you both know it is just play time and not a commitment | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/23 10:41 PM |
| 2 | Looking for advice on how I should proceed with giving money to ex. Florida post divorce.Am in a similar situation, just a much less expensive house LOL I'm trying to stay friendly, for the kids. Currently living in the basement and staying up all night thinking about how everything is going to play out. She is feisty as hell and will be vindictive so I have to choose words and actions carefully. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/23 10:38 PM |
| 1 | Leaving her the houseFor sure. I didn't mean I would gift it to her. I just meant "fine, it's yours" but I will definitely fight for equality. I have heard horror stories of wives asking for golf clubs and tools that they have never touched, just to be dicks about it. If I give in to her number 1 claim it should give me more room to get what I want, right? 🤷 | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/23 02:44 PM |
| 3 | EmptyDamn dude. Hang in there. Find a therapist online or in real life. I resisted for YEARS and finally made the call when I was in the darkest place I have ever been. Still messed up, but am seeing a path to a better future after only a few phone calls with a therapist. I was "being a man" and swallowing my feelings. But now I'm telling everyone to find help! | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 10:51 PM |
| 1 | Drinking problemWatching my STBXW get drunk every day for the past year has made me never want to get drunk ever again. I stop at 2 beers. Maybe more if it is an all day barbecue or something Good luck, take care of yourself. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 07:09 PM |
| 3 | Does anybody feel like they are drifting away from their kids?This is my biggest fear. We are trying to avoid a nasty battle that will impact the kids and I want to be a part of their lives but I fear not being there to laugh at stupid things, cook dinner together, watch TV. Just every day stuff that has kept me sane during the past few miserable years of marriage. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 05:09 PM |
| 1 | Leaving her the houseFor sure it will be an even split at the end of the day | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 03:35 PM |
| 3 | CuriousI have a friend that was separated, got back together and is still married 30 years later But I can't think of a second example | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 05:07 AM |
| 1 | Do most good family law attorneys charge for the first consultation? A lawyer told me so, but I am not sure if it is true.I had a free consultation with this one guy. He told me I was screwed, laughed about it, then explained how the retainer works. I wanted to tell him he was a terrible salesman | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 04:50 AM |
| 2 | Leaving her the houseYup | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 04:28 AM |
| 1 | Did you ever feel like getting back together with ur ex?I'm so angry and hurt. But when I watch her walk, goddamn 🤷. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 04:12 AM |
| 1 | Dealing with a vindictive exPeople will gradually realize she is stretching the truth to her benefit. Friends will figure it out I've seen it so many times. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 04:05 AM |
| 5 | Leaving her the houseYou are right, and there will be concessions as we divide everything up. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 03:40 AM |
| 5 | Leaving her the houseNo worries brother. This is all good to share. I have no one else to confide in | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 03:36 AM |
| 1 | Wife leaves me after 11 years after emotional outburst.It took me way too long to realize she was not the same person anymore Feeling dumb, but trying to move forward | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 01:44 AM |
| 2 | Anyone keep in contact with the ex to witness karma?Let it go She is still hurting you without even trying. Don't do that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 01:28 AM |
| 1 | I wish someone told me thisFirst post I saw here. Holy crap, thank you | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/09/23 11:49 PM |
