| 1 | Do you trust your lawyer?I trusted my lawyer and should have listened to her more when negotiating the mediation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/03/26 10:53 PM |

| 2 | Need the real answer from actual menM46. Divorced about a year, for the second time. Coparent one child. I don’t plan on getting married again. I’m moving my elderly parents into my home to help them through their golden years. I might think about a long term relationship at some point in the future but don’t see getting married again. The idea of dating someone much younger is not attractive. I’m not sure these burns ever heal. I also think I might be the problem. 😂😭🤷🏽 | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/02/26 01:00 AM |
| 4 | How to move onPretty much just gave up on romantic relationships. It’s been a year and I’ve kind of thought about going on a few dates but I just feel like what’s the fucking point. Focus on my son the days I have him. Moving my elderly parents in a few months from now so I can help them as they age. Side hustle/hobbies. Take some trips. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/02/26 10:58 PM |
| 10 | Wife emptied main liquidity account and rerouted her payI don’t see how you can have a mediation with someone that violates standing orders out of the gate. You are way behind and living in a fantasy land. Get a good lawyer yesterday. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/02/26 03:16 AM |
| 9 | Anyone come out NOT broke?I came out ok. Maybe 60/40 her. I conceded more than maybe I should have during mediation because I was still afraid of her out bursts. She made more the last 3-4 years of the marriage and brought a home into it though. It’s been 11 months since I left. Bought a new house with a 401k withdrawal. Moving my parents in so I can take care of them as they age. 50/50 custody. Life goes on. Might try going on some dates this year. Might just be done. We’ll see. Keep your chin up and gray rock that shit… | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/02/26 02:43 AM |

| 2 | Holding on to anger towards my ex wifeWrite her a letter explaining all of your feels, anger disappointments, betrayals. Cover your failures too. You have to honor those feelings or they fester and then you are ruining your own life. Forgive her and yourself in the letter if you can. Read it a couple of times and then maybe burn it or leave it in a drawer to come back to later. It is not to be sent. Seems like the stupidest exercise but letting those feelings out will heal your heart and mind. Then you can let go of the shit that is… | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/25 03:19 AM |
| 17 | Question for divorced men. Why do some of you see an fwb instead of a prostitute for sex and vice versa why do some of you see a prostitute instead of a fwb?Prostitution seems dirty. Sorry, if that’s your thing or profession. No way to know if the person is being trafficked or if I could be blackmailed later. Can’t see any potential positive outcomes. I think it would make me feel really depressed to be with someone in that way. I want to love someone I’m with. Fwb might be ok if it was exclusive but that’s … an actual relationship? Doesn’t seem like it’s worth the risk (financial/emotional/health) or the hassle anymore. I don’t trust myself not to … | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/25 12:58 AM |
| 2 | In the middle of a divorce and I don't know what to do.You should get a lawyer. Then do arbitration. So I’ll just make a list of everything in a spreadsheet and you’ll sit there paying $800 an hour until the shit is divided. If you’re in a 50-50 state, shit should be divided 50-50 according to dollar value unless you agree otherwise. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/25 06:57 PM |
| 5 | Mixed signalsGet the fuck out of there dude, that’s torture. Have some self-respect. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/12/25 07:34 PM |
| 9 | Why did therapy not work? Be honest, don’t give me the polite, mature answer.I think ultimately my level of chaos and her level of neuroticism are not a good fit. I don’t want to live in a museum, she doesn’t want to live with 999 ADHD “organizational” stacks. We’re fairly good coparents. I don’t know if I’ll even date again. But I’ll be heavily screening for compatible brains. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/12/25 03:52 PM |
| 3 | Ex wants to send my son with a locked phone that notifies her if it’s accessed — looking for thoughts before I respondIf my kid was flying I would want them to have a phone. She clearly can’t provide that phone. Do they even have to go see her at all? I’m unclear on the context for flying. Would absolutely have someone like this arrested as often as possible. I don’t know if I would even respond. Receive phone. Call cops. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/12/25 06:54 PM |
| 3 | In the divorce process and my wife wants me to move outI made my attorney tell me it was ok to move out 3x before I actually did it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/11/25 02:49 PM |
| 5 | In the divorce process and my wife wants me to move outThis is a great question for your attorney and also depends on the state you live in. We did a preliminary agreement with a custody schedule before going to arbitration and I was able to move out 3.5 months before the divorce was actually approved by the judge. The financial shit show is just that. Sorry man. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/11/25 02:48 PM |
| 2 | Getting divorced, concerned about my children and need input.Sorry you are going through this. It’s hard but you can get through it. I’m 9 months post move out. Divorce was settled amicably in May. I’m trying to buy a new house next month. Fingers crossed boys. Women go into Peri-menopause and start feeling very different about a lot of things. Maybe it’s that, maybe it’s something else, maybe it’s just boredom. You’ll probably never really know. Everything that you’ve done wrong forever just builds up to some of them.

| 4 | Moral dilemma in divorce - what would you doMy ex-wife told me before cancer, during cancer, and after cancer that she wanted a divorce. I’m not sure why I took so long to listen to her. You can be divorced and still take her to treatment. If my ex ended up destitute and needed a place to live because her cancer came back I would still take her in. She gave me a whole human being and I’ll never forget that. She might stop being so evil if y’all were apart too. Our son is younger though, and I don’t see pursuing any relationships until he … | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/11/25 11:28 PM |

| 2 | What to do?Which state really matters. Texas fits both of those criteria and has no alimony, 50/50 custody implies no child support. There could be spousal support but it’s not like … California. Spend $500 and talk to a lawyer. Seriously, freeze your credit and change your passwords right now. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/10/25 08:50 PM |
| 9 | What to do?Freeze your credit at the bureaus so she can’t open new accounts on your credit. Change all your passwords. Open your own bank account. Maybe try marriage, counseling or therapy? I couldn’t be with someone that was putting me into a financial black hole. What state do you live in? Time to throw down the gauntlet about behavioral changes. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/10/25 06:57 PM |
| 3 | Am I a Narcissist, according to Divorce Coaches I am ?There was so much daily conflict at the end of our marriage that it was bad for everybody. Once we had a signed mediation agreement I moved out and everyday has been more peaceful since. Better quality time with my son. He is no longer exposed to our yelling matches. I don’t hate myself because someone isn’t trying to control me anymore. I’m even able to interact with my ex in a civilized manner. I think someday maybe even be friends, with boundaries, again. I probably kicked the can on getting … | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/10/25 04:22 AM |

Sent emergency flowers from our son, that she probably didn’t like. I had just deleted my calendar invite/reminder because we’re …not married. To be clear, I felt bad because I set my son up to disappoint her. Sorry, I’m sure that felt bad. Maybe kill her with kindness next time? I told one of my friends the other day and they just said, your kid knows what she … | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/10/25 02:41 PM |

| 2 | Is it better to do the divorce paperwork yourselves?I only spent $10k. I think she spent the same or a little more because she had a lot of questions. We did mediation and got it knocked out in one session. Both work. Texas. 50/50. No child support, we just split child monthly expenses. Not contentious. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/09/25 05:55 PM |
| 2 | How do I avoid getting fucked in the divorce (ca)?Not if he has to subsidize his ex for $1M a year in spousal support. He’ll be broke in short order. The only good thing about California is the weather. Even if they relocated I bet she could go back and file there for a disturbing amount of time. Move to Texas. Maybe try therapy and dating your wife if the resentment mountain isn’t unscalable and you haven’t already. I’d be surprised if she isn’t wanting until the youngest starts college and then shoots him with both barrels anyway. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/09/25 09:31 PM |

| 3 | Should I give this to my stbx?NAL. My recent divorce, with lawyers and settled in mediation was probably $9,000. Money well spent. We did one session of mediation that lasted about three hours. My lawyers hourly rate was probably $450. I made sure to hire a female attorney. She was a rockstar. You really want STBX make as many mistakes as she can. Then if mediation fails, the judge will usually find these bad behaviors as a negative against her. You’ll both have to bring a spreadsheet of everything to mediation.

| 5 | What would you do if your ex or STBX got cancer?He could feel so guilty that he cannot possibly face her under any circumstances. Changing your phone number to cut someone off is pretty extreme. He probably has his reasons. I am surprised that you haven’t asked. She could also be a terrible person and cancer doesn’t change that. My wife had very serious cancer 2.5 years ago. I would still reach out to her and offer to help anyway that I could if we were divorced. She probably wouldn’t accept it though. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/10/18 02:51 AM |

Knowing yourself and being able to admit our own flaws or challenges, especially ones that are really hard to deal with has to be the first step in getting back to a good place where you can see your kids again.
