| 5 | According to study, “Women with divorced girlfriends are more likely to divorce themselves.”Social Influence: This term broadly describes how individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors are affected by others in their social network. Behavioral Mimicry: This refers to the tendency for individuals to imitate the behaviors of those around them. Peer Influence: This specifically highlights the impact that peers have on an individual’s decisions and behaviors.

| 6 | After a failed marriage and seeing vows broken out of anger, I struggle to see the benefit of marriage. It seems many women's loyalty is conditional, depending on their options and the state of the relationship.Women, especially good looking ones, are highly valued and sought after. They're like any other commodity, and once they actually realize that, the chances are they try to capitalize on it, one way or the other. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/07/24 05:03 PM |
| 1 | Did it feel like your S.O. "flipped a switch"?Confronting somebody without hard evidence is typically a bad idea. Even though you feel so strongly compelled to. It takes a lot of self-discipline to sit back and watch the train wreck until you actually see it derail. My stbxw said that when I confronted her I actually pushed her closer to behaving the way that she did even though I'm 99% certain I'm right. That was the point she started blaming me for everything being paranoid etc. Even though she was pouring all of her time into other peopl… | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/07/24 03:48 AM |
| 4 | Did it feel like your S.O. "flipped a switch"?She synced her phone accounts with the laptop my kids use and they saw the notifications pop up one day and did some sleuthing. Needless to say they saw more than they should have. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/07/24 01:50 PM |
| 9 | Did it feel like your S.O. "flipped a switch"?As others have stated here, I think the light switch phenomena is an illusion. In my example, I was comfortable and trusting until I started to pick up on subtle cues. For the longest time I was in complete denial but deep down inside I felt like something was off. In all honesty, I was probably the last to notice as it was my kids who actually clued me into a bunch of her emotional affairs, one of which is 11. Edit: my kid is 11, not her AP | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/07/24 11:30 AM |
| 2 | What to do when wife has checked out from the marriage?The chances are that she has been checked out much longer than you realized. People here are right, it's very difficult to win a woman back. Unfortunately, there's a child involved. Fight for yourself and fight for your child but putting hope and effort into a relationship with your wife is probably a lost cause and waste of time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/07/24 11:01 PM |
| 1 | How do you guys deal with betrayal trauma? The fact that your stbx is talking bad about you to people behind your back? How can I digest this in a healthy way?I know this isn't probably the healthiest of advice, but I found a female friend and talked the nastiest shit about stbxw I could. I'm talking to the point where my new friend wanted to beat the shit out of my stbxw, and almost did on a couple occasions. We screwed around went on a few trips, had fun. It was great therapy. Then it all got to be too much for said girlfriend and she up and left me due to drama in my family and marriage. Sometimes you just need to seek revenge, IMHO, but in a cleve… | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/07/24 10:37 PM |
| 2 | Post divorce happiness is gone…I'll have to agree with you, but then again it's hard to resist the temptation. I've lost a really strong emotional connection right in the bitter part of my divorce That just compounded everything. I completely lost it for a bit. Well now here I am chasing more tail. I guess I'll never learn haha. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/06/24 03:42 PM |
| 1 | This hurtsBe very careful about being vulnerable too soon. I'm still not divorced and had a fling/relationship which ended up going south and it made everything absolutely worse. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/05/24 04:19 PM |

| 2 | Is this NormalI've experienced this anger and I'm currently going through it myself. I just want to stick it to her and stick it to her. Really good. However, I've gotten some advice from people that you don't want to use a negative energy as a fuel source because that will just end up creating negative results. But yes, the anger is real and can be a motivator. Just try not to let it eat you alive | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/05/24 12:22 AM |
| 1 | Is this NormalI also agree that it's best to try to be amicable, but if that is not a possibility then you have to fight like your life depends on it | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/05/24 12:21 AM |
| 3 | Is this NormalI'll give you my bit of advice from first-hand experience. I tried to be amicable with my wife after we fell out of love and I found out she was having emotional and physical affairs. She doesn't work so obviously being the good guy, I let her live in the house. We separated bedrooms etc. Something or somebody got in her head at some point and she just started being the nastiest bitch I've ever seen in my life and assaulted me and my kids and ended up in the hospital and in jail quite a few time… | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/05/24 12:18 AM |
| 2 | Tomorrow is one week since I left... And I feel more guilty than everIgnore those nice guy feelings. I feel guilty for putting my kids through a divorce, but at the end of the day I know it would be worse trying to make it work. Was she nice to you? Does she feel guilty about the way she treated everyone in her life? Sometimes people need a taste of their own medicine. Stay the course, and remind yourself how you got yourself in this position! | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/05/24 10:44 PM |
| 3 | Children stopped talking to meMy stbxw is trying to do the same to me, fortunately it's not working, for now. Hopefully you get to a point where you can have a mature, honest conversation. I'm being slandered and lied about, to opposing council, family, friends, and my kids. Your biggest weapon is documentation and evidence. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/05/24 01:33 AM |

| 2 | DiscussionMarriage is a social construct that is very old. Years, and I mean years ago there were no dating apps, bars, whatever. Today men and women both have many more social options and will choose them when they see fit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/04/24 07:41 PM |
| 2 | Remaining friendsYou'd be setting yourself up for failure, obviously it didn't work out the first time. The definition of insanity is repeating the same action and expecting a different result. I never want to even lay eyes on my stbxw again let alone contemplate being friends with her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/04/24 04:11 PM |
| 1 | I'm really struggling. Any support would help?What you need to know is that women are biologically more emotionally intelligent (EQ) than men. The figure I heard was 7 times. It's the way she was born. That means if you and her heard the same joke at 8am, she'd get it by 9, but it'd take you until noon, with regards to emotion. Evolutionarily, women have been the nurturers, because it kept the family together. Father actually did shit. It's a consequence of technology. Wives get lazy and go on apps. Fathers get lazy and game on the PlayStat… | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/24 04:10 PM |

I had the best dreams when divorcing, and I still am in the process, however the real nightmare starts when you wake up.

| 2 | Another day closer to divorceStay the fuck away from her and divorce her in your heart. Your son is the main priority now. I am not trying to rant, but I see so many posts about how she cheated and they want her back. WHY? She should be dead to you and you should be moving on with your life. That's what I'm doing and it feels great. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/24 12:38 AM |
| 2 | Post-divorce exhaustionI also initiated, there was a whole month where I literally felt close to death. It was a chore to do anything considered regular life. It comes in waves still. I'm really glad I made the decision to divorce her, but seeing what my kids have gone through has been particularly rough, even though living with their mom has been traumatic. Get on a rigid schedule. Wake up early, be places on time or early, live by your calendar. One thing that has helped boost my self esteem is dressing nice.

If you go back to the US, how are you going to make sure your kids are good and you're handling your legal situation? Save those thoughts for later, my man, and face this head on. Otherwise you're going to look weak. My first instinct was to leave as well, but with the help of others who have been through this, that's … | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/04/24 01:23 AM |

We lived together and she even started dating people. 6 months later she was arrested for domestic violence and now can't talk to me due to a court order. Everyone I talked to said it would never work, regarding the living arrangement. Now she's gone and I couldn't be happier.

| 2 | Do all relationships go the same way before divorceI am an aspie, and when my wife found out about it (I found out later in life, born in the 80s), she would call me retarded, Asperger's baby, and just make mean jokes. No one has ever been meaner to me in my entire life than my stbxw. It's the people closest to you that tend to hurt you the most. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/04/24 02:05 PM |

To the young guys here thinking about marriage, don't do it, she is not that amazing, she doesn't love you that much, she will definitely divorce you once she gets tired of youShe's walking, away from you now.

Don't marry up, because she's going to smother you with her privileges. You'll know true love when you find it, but don't get married. Why would you want to put yourself through that again? My advice, ymmv. From a jaded man. You can do what you want to, but IMHO monogamy is a lie. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/04/24 11:33 AM |

I was happy to know she was looking for her next 'soulmate' because that meant she was going to be leaving the house. 30+ guys later, I realized she wasn't finding anyone, and that made me sad because I knew she'd be coming after me to pay for an apartment. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/24 03:40 PM |

| 4 | Lying stbxwThanks brother, I know these facts but it's against all common decency to be this way. I'm not going to do anything dumb because it's all on the line. I'm doing everything I should be doing, kids school, kids health, etc. She knows how to trigger me and is doing it vicariously via her lawyer.

She's violated it via 3rd party communication several times but the states attorney continues to decline to prosecute. This was via her lawyer to my lawyer. I'm going to refuse all of her demands and try and fuck her over in court.

| 2 | A wise man once saidOne of the reasons I stayed in my marriage so long was to take care of her kid from her previous relationship. Felt bad for the little dude. He's grown now and works hard. When you marry a single mom you also marry her children. 15 years later and her kid is on his own making a living for himself and I'm moving on with my life. In all honesty he was a little shit at first but turned out to be a fine young man. It's a selfless act. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/04/24 12:12 AM |

Not everyone is compatible even when they're attracted to each other, emotionally or physically.

I like to think of it like boot camp. It's not about you, it's about the whole regiment. Put in the effort, the work, the blood, the sweat, the tears, and you get your reward.

| 1 | LonelyI went through that. My stbxw had no problems with dating apps, actually found dozens of men but none who wanted to stay around. I talked to a couple women on the apps but nothing came from it. Your best bet is just approaching women you feel the spark with, they genuinely want it but are waiting for you to make the first move.

My stbxw wounded me to my very core and I'm not sure I want to open myself up to that again.

| 7 | Looking to chat or get opinionsYou're right, kids are resilient. I'm a product of divorce and honestly when I found out my parents were splitting I immediately understood and had peace. What really affects a child negatively is when the divorce gets nasty and they witness fighting and get manipulated and weaponized by their feuding parents. My experience, ymmv. My kids were actually relieved when I told them I'm divorcing their mother, because of the hostility and crazy they have been witnessing.

| 3 | Messy2k isn't bad, mine was 5. Kick that cheating bitch to the curb man. Good luck. Mine is nasty-ish but it could be worse. I filed on her and she knows I have a mountain of evidence if it goes to trial. She's just playing a long game and waiting for me to fuck up somehow. Meanwhile she openly goes out on dates and gets creampied, and tries to use that info to make me upset. If it weren't for the the kids, and her having no income it'd be over already, in a worse way. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/11/23 06:36 PM |

| 3 | Trouble with intellectual and emotional connection with wifeSounds like thrill seeking behavior, which isn't what a long lasting relationship is built on. If you suspect something is going on with her and one of her male friends, it's possible she's seeking another high. Not trying to worry you or put ideas in your head, but trust your gut. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/11/23 08:48 PM |
| 1 | Trouble with intellectual and emotional connection with wifeWas there an initial attraction? Are you just staying together for the kids? Are either of you suspected of cheating? Sorry but this just screams mutual incompatibly. If you keep going down this road it's going to end badly. Either work on getting back to your groove or work on hitting the highway. Just my two cents based on what I've experienced. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/11/23 06:31 PM |

| 5 | Abandoned and AngryYes, I went through the same and I'll tell you one or two things. Women generally have a higher EQ than men so be prepared to be manipulated. Anger is a natural response to being betrayed. It's how you deal with it that makes you a man. I know this sounds counter intuitive, but as soon as you can forgive her and move on, the better you're going to be. But it's a dicey game. You're going to get upset again, just don't fuck up.

| 1 | Wife wants a divorce, we don’t have money for lawyers.She's counting on that, do you think she feels the same way? Fuck no she doesn't, be stronger. It hurts at first but you need to stay at home and document everything. Don't make false claims but don't hesitate to call her in to the police when she breaks the law. Good luck, I know what it is like treading thin ice. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/10/23 09:41 PM |
| 7 | Why are we telling men to wait a year before dating?Yes, red flags will become much more apparent than the first time.

| 2 | She fucked another manI mean we agreed to be separated and don't consider ourselves married.. just a piece of paper situation. And unfortunately we have kids in the house and she doesn't work, so we depend on her for a lot. I'm getting the house put our agreement.

My lawyer wrote up the summons with me getting 100% since she has been mentally ill lately and got CPS involved when she hit one of our kids, cops, paramedics. I have evidence of her threatening me and herself. However she doesn't work, is a stay at home mom. She is not liking how the summons was drafted but I'm not paying for her to get a lawyer. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/10/23 08:05 PM |

If you leave your house and get your own place, she's going to get alimony, child support if you have kids, and you have to support yourself. My initial thought was to leave as well but you have to disregard the flight instinct and bunker down in your own house. I hope you have evidence. If she threatened you when she's drinking you need to call the police. And DON'T TELL HER WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Hang in there, it's the hardest thing I've ev… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 03:39 AM |
| 1 | Filing without a lawyerIf I leave the house, they will see it as abandonment and she'll have a better case for taking or even staying at the house. I feel somewhat safe right now but I'm staying in another room and sleeping behind a locked door. I know I'm rolling the dice but she's sober right now and seems back to normal. Unfortunately it's going to take a couple days for the process to see it's way through. She knows that the police forwarded their report to the states attorney and is working on getting therapy. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 03:29 AM |
| 1 | Filing without a lawyerYes, I'm talking with a lawyer tomorrow. She hit my daughter in a blind fit of rage and has a case open with the states attorney. If I don't do something now I'm liable for what happens next. She's medicated, tired, and nice right now, but one day, probably soon, she's going to go buy some wine and split off into another personality again. Wish me luck | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/23 03:16 AM |

It sounds like you felt like you were taking advantage of her even though she wanted it, due to you not being connected to her. I got some post nut clarity after sexting a woman I'm talking to online, but my desire to connect at that level has me still pursuing.
