| 6 | It wasn’t entirely your fault. Adultery should never be forgiven.It worked once | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/06/26 04:56 PM |
| 2 | My attraction to my wife has gone away almost completely.Second a regular evening walk. Right at sunset, when it's gorgeous. Very easy habit to establish, everyone feels better. Just seeing her working on it, if you can accomplish that, will make her sexier immediately. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/05/26 04:58 AM |
| 5 | Just when I think things can’t get any worse, they do!Same. STBXW and kids evacuated to an undisclosed hotel right before I got the news, to make sure I didn't kill or abduct anyone for the first time ever. Wild. The best explanation I ever got was that because I'd been in the army 15 years ago, anything could happen. I had to demand access to my kids. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/05/26 06:42 PM |
| 4 | Just when I think things can’t get any worse, they do!I wouldn't even have done that. You have no reason to be in contact with her, right? I heard no mention of kids. Anyway, I don't talk to my kids' grandmother for the same reason. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/05/26 06:40 PM |
| 1 | Wife wants more money so she can buy a house "she deserves"And don't forget, people telling her what she deserves | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/05/26 09:17 PM |
| 2 | Am I being unreasonable asking for jewellery to be valued during separation?At that point, it's really important to stop caring about what she thinks is fair | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/26 03:40 PM |
| 4 | EntitlementThanks for the reminder, always working on what's left of the anger- I don't feel particularly angry, though. Not like two years ago. I don't fixate on her, I feel my life is going well. I think this is more of a problem of how to explain my boundaries to my kids when my ex is probably saying to them "wouldn't it be so much nicer if your dad would be friends with me? too bad." | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/26 03:31 PM |
| 4 | EntitlementMy kids are 6 and 5. The furthest they've gotten so far is to say things like "Mommy makes us do x" or the classic "I don't want to go to mommy's house! I want to stay with you!" I can tell they're testing to see if they can reveal something. I just tell them they'll have fun at mommy's house, and someday that'll expand to "I hope and expect your mom has good things to offer you, the same things I saw when I married her". I feel like I can't in good conscience pretend that she's trustworthy. She… | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/26 01:15 PM |
| 7 | EntitlementThat's how I feel. She was supposed to get the kids, and then I was supposed to feel like I have to stay on her good side to see them, or to have her approve of my relationship with them. Now that that plan hasn't worked out, she's doing damage control for a nasty divorce she isn't proud of. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/26 01:11 PM |
| 3 | EntitlementAbsolutely, it would be great to be friends with my kids' mom. Can't trust her at all. Any trust she's given will be abused so she can win. She was supposed to get primary custody and school control. I feel it is terrifying, dangerous, and a bad example to my kids to let it all slide and be friends. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/26 12:26 PM |
| 6 | EntitlementI haven't figured out that "mature way" yet. I should tell them their mother is the kind of person who uses people ruthlessly? the kind of person who believes it's a dog-eat-dog world, that you just have to get what you can from others? And that they should hope she really loves them? Doesn't seem like a solution. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/26 08:53 AM |
| 8 | It's been 6 years since she left. Every time I fall asleep, even for 10 min I'm back with the woman I married. Then I wake upMarijuana pretty much stops dreams for a lot of people | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/26 03:37 AM |
| 2 | Failed MediationI agree, it's wrong. Thank goodness it's heading back the right way, I feel the worst for guys who divorced during a couple decades of confluence of "Women belong raising kids" from the right and "Women should get everything" from the far-left. 50/50 is a huge victory for children of divorce everywhere. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/04/26 05:15 PM |
| 1 | Failed MediationOur situations are incredibly similar, and I sympathize with you deeply. Be wary of putting this on women everywhere, it's one internet-crazy sect of fourth-wave "feminism". It's a real problem, but you will also find in time that there are plenty of women out there who understand this and support you. I know how tempting it is to identify women as the enemy. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/04/26 04:44 PM |
| 11 | Failed MediationSame story here, she expected the kids to be handed to her. I basically traded assets for that school control- Judge gave her a little more as a consolation. Worth it for every morning I get to walk my daughter to school. 10/10 would again. Good job shutting down the sole custody nonsense. Mine tried everything to get me to agree to it- citing fake science (to which I responded with real science), saying I only wanted the kids for my ego, because what was best for them was being with her and hav… | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/04/26 02:52 PM |
| 5 | Failed MediationYes, be optimistic. My ex tried to stonewall mediation insisting that she control the schools for our two kids. I proposed something in the middle. I called her bluff and we went to court. The court, I think, did not appreciate her attitude and gave me full school control, because I repeated (a little bit out of line) in court that I favored a school in the middle. Now she drives the kids to the school two blocks from my house, because the school in the middle closed down. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/04/26 02:30 PM |
| 4 | Dating women with kidsI love this comment. I'd like to add, OP, that you should bias against other things you want in a woman for one that makes a lot of money. I dated one who made a few 10s more than I did, and had one kid to my two, and insofar as I pictured a permanent family it was a relief not to feel like the breadwinner vs my marriage | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/04/26 05:24 AM |
| 1 | Flashback: "Make sure you bring a binder of photos to prove to the judge that you are an active father"I'm not a lawyer, and you should listen to your lawyer by default, but it did occur to me that this could be a nice easy line-item for the bill. 8 photos, $200 each, who knows | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/26 03:43 PM |
| 1 | This is a post from divorced women page… you can’t make this shit up. I will never marry againUm, "she deserves to be happy" means she gets to do whatever she wants | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/03/26 09:15 PM |

| 5 | It’s easy to make fun of women for their bad choices in men but honestly I need to accept that my choices in women are utterly AWFUL- led to divorceFWIW, I did the opposite- after decades of dating hot women, married someone I thought had kindness and patience going for her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/02/26 11:24 PM |
| 5 | Did divorce change how you see yourself as a man?My ex and her mom thought it was pretty exciting in the moment too, they were having a blast. Like Downton Abbey power brokering in real life! | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/02/26 06:03 PM |
| 4 | Social media has destroyed everything in this worldThe same happened to me, but I think the idea of keeping people in marriages against their will is a bit crazy. Women who choose to end their marriage for silly reasons should be ashamed and lambasted, but I don't think the government should keep people married against their will. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/02/26 04:20 PM |
| 3 | Social media has destroyed everything in this worldThere was a notable post here yesterday where the top comment (at least when I looked) was something like "Why are you breaking up your family? Sounds like your wife is trying to work things out, give that a try" | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/02/26 04:19 PM |

| 2 | How to move onFor me it was church. I'm an atheist, so Unitarians. It provides a place where many different kinds of people- men and women, old and young- see you and know who you are. It gives you identity. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/02/26 02:52 AM |

| 5 | Tik Tok and ChatGPT making women’s brain melt?Same here, Instagram and podcasts and her mother. Wife = slave, divorce = sexy freedom. She also got the idea that our two small children would be better off being with her primarily, and argued it to me as "I've been doing some reading, here's what the science says" My sister-in-law, a psychiatrist, dug up the real science. My ex finally admitted it was a podcast, not science, that told her preschoolers should stay with mom, but she had lied because I would have dismissed it because it came fro… | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/10/25 01:56 PM |
| 3 | Divorced Female friends.It's not bulletproof, but I think the key is to find a woman who actually wants to grow old with someone, most clearly indicated by her parents still being happily married. My ex's parents are enemies, despite remaining married- and this seems to have been the worst possible case. Her mom encouraged her to get the divorce she always wanted for herself but can't have, due to relying on her husband in her old age health problems. For my ex, divorce was always a part of the plan- it's sexy, "libera… | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/10/25 03:13 PM |

| 4 | Divorce has made life quieter and more peaceful, but also a lot harderI think they're referring to the 50% they have to watch a kid alone- unless you have a spectacular relationship with their mom, you lose a lot of flexibility. I have the same situation with 4yo and 5yo- I had to work late last night and juggle my kids clamoring for my attention at the same time. Thankfully a rare occurrence. It is not the same as being 100% single parent, for sure. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/10/25 03:26 PM |
| 10 | Married men (especially those who’ve been divorced) — what led to your divorce, and what kind of life partner do you wish you had chosen instead?Pay close attention to the parents. As I had parents who respected each other and never fought, it was a blind spot for me. I assumed that just because her parents don't get along doesn't mean she'd follow the same pattern. That may be true in some other case, but as soon as we moved to her hometown her mother made short work of our marriage. It was common wisdom in that family that men are trash to be used and discarded. Also, extreme feminism. I should have seen it as a warning sign when we ar… | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/10/25 04:10 PM |
| 3 | Men who got walked out on, is it offensive when your STBX says they mourned your marriage during it?In the words of Donald Trump: "That makes me smart" Blindsiding is a selfish act meant to gain an advantage. More money, more property, more custody. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 07:14 PM |
| 3 | Would there be any negatives to this?I would be very wary of this. My ex and I did not agree about 50/50, and monopolizing doctors appointments was something she pushed hard on. She is likely building a case to take some kind of custody from you in court. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/10/25 11:59 AM |

| 12 | 8 years together and suddenly I discovered her serial cheating. Her lack of effort to hide things hurts more than the cheating itself. (Long rant and trigger warning, it’s Very cruel cheating)The anger about the hotel sleeping thing is so familiar to me. I challenged my ex to keep her vows and she dug up a years-old "forgiven" fight to claim that I had broken my vows first. Some people will always find a way to justify. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/09/25 07:53 PM |

| 5 | Served with papers on Friday, only to find out she's requesting full legal custody...My ex tried the same- beware of schools in mediation. She tried to get me to agree to let her pick schools and wouldn't move the boundary, because she'd hoped to put the kids in school impractically far away from me. Even though courts designate a school parent rather than a school, I "naively" suggested a school in the middle in court. The judge saw what she was trying to do and gave me full school control! | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/25 06:03 PM |
| 2 | Why the fuck would anyone get married again?Yes, but this happens most often for cases like: coercion lack of disclosure If you do it right, a prenup is very safe. Don't rush it right before the wedding, make sure she has a lawyer too, so no one can claim they didn't know what they were doing signing it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/09/25 04:31 PM |
| 3 | Why the fuck would anyone get married again?Not getting married doesn't protect you from child support. Prenups are thrown out for things like coercion and lack of disclosure. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/09/25 04:15 PM |
| 7 | Why the fuck would anyone get married again?I know I'll get downvoted even though I'm as salty as anyone else here- but with a good prenup, and a good woman who wants to be married, it's reasonable. We all should have had prenups the first time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/09/25 04:09 PM |

| 3 | Thought I was over my ex, but I was mistakenI wouldn't assume that this dream means you're not over her. Dreams are pretty mysterious, and to me it seems like they are often just our brains intentionally aggravating us. Having felt the feelings, there's a good chance you never have a dream like that about her again. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/08/25 08:41 PM |
| 7 | 1st court hearing was a low key dumpster fire for her & her lawyerI know that feeling! My ex assumed the judge would give her school control and refused in mediation to compromise on school boundaries, intending to choose schools impossibly far away from me. It was the only reason we had to go to court. The judge saw exactly what she was doing and gave the schools to me :-D The perfect lesson for her after insisting to me that she was the "real parent" between the two of us. Things are getting better for men, gradually. I was expecting to be screwed- guys goin… | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/08/25 01:48 PM |

Pretty sure while she was at work her mom was curating the perfect sludge of divorce memes for her. I'm told this is a common pattern, in which the mother with no spouse decides to make their child their "spouse".

It was so seemingly light-hearted, something like "Remember in elementary school when we sent boys to Jupiter to get more stupider?

Getting friends is not an escape from the solution, it is the solution. They don't even have to be particularly wonderful friends. When I was in this situation, abandoned after she asked me to move to her hometown, without connections of my own, I was lucky to have some experience with Unitarian churches from many years before.

Both of the girlfriends I've had played the same role I did in their divorces: trying to work it out and save the family while their partner abandons it.
