| 0 | My ex-wife refers to my by my first name to our kidsand men are actually eight times more likely to kill them self after a divorce than a woman, Irrelevant. Men are more likely to kill themselves in any case. Women are more likely to attempt it unsuccessfully in any case. Guys are just more effective. By their first name, you’re making a joke about it, No joke made. You should talk to a professional. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/05/23 01:12 PM |
| 0 | My ex-wife refers to my by my first name to our kidsMoms can be worthless sacks of shit too. That’s an important piece of nuance. If a mom leaves a guy who is willing to make it work for the sake of his kid because she prioritizes her happiness over her child’s or her child’s father, that is a fucked up thing to do. That reality can coexist with one in which some moms leave their baby daddies or husbands because they are abusive or neglectful or something.

| -1 | My ex-wife refers to my by my first name to our kidsLol I love telling guys not to date single moms. It gets everybody so riled up it’s hilarious. They don’t think for one second hmm this single mom would rather fck w me than raise her children with their father in a stable home. Yeah, no such thing as widows, and every guy who ever got a woman knocked up would totes be fine with playing house and could never be a worthless sack of shit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/05/23 02:48 AM |

Know what’s an iron clad defense against an accusation of slander? It can’t be slander if it’s the truth. What she’s doing is grooming, your children! And I mean she is grooming, your children! There’s no possible way this is that. What the fuck? Getting them to think of you, as less than their father, that’s what she is doing and she knows she’s doing it. Doesn’t work that way.

| 1 | Hello. I'm just 22 yo guy and I'd like to thank you for your stories you posted. I've never been married and I'm not going to. Divorce law is just extremely unfair towards men. Women are so confident and try to force you into marriage cause they KNOW IT.Who files tells you nothing.

Women are so confident and try to force you into marriage cause they KNOW IT.That sounds reasonable if this is what you’re reading. It’s inaccurate, as marriage confers legal status and benefits (taxes, beneficiaries for insurance and such…) as well as what this sub is about - a legal way to disentangle if it doesn’t work out. But nobody is forcing you to get married | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/12/22 11:43 PM |

| 1 | keeping a secretwhat do you mean by "blame them"??? They will blame themselves, at least in part, for your coming divorce as well as for the affair. how will it fuck up my relationship with my kids to ask them in a nice, calm and loving way why they didn't tell me ? See above. Better would be to get them a therapist, as they'll need one most likely. Then ask the therapist privately and you might get an answer. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/04/22 11:12 PM |
| 1 | keeping a secretYour totally honest wife who wasn't hiding the affair from you wrote it in her journal, so that's how you know they knew? Sound logic there. Here's a wakeup. No matter if they knew or not, her affair isn't their fault. In spite of that, they will have doubts and blame them. If you stupidly question them about their role or about them not telling you, you'll fuck up your relationship with them. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/04/22 10:59 PM |

And they probably won't, because they're going from a secured loan that isn't being paid to an unsecured loan with people who probably have shitty credit (see: unpaid current car loan).

| 2 | What's a good exit strategy for expats?Best bet seems to be to get back into the states and establish residency first. If you get her onboard with that, you're most of the way home. Alimony will depend on how long you've been married, among other things. If you've only been married 2 years, a halfway decent lawyer will ensure you don't pay it for long.

You can't sign away children's rights in many jurisdictions, and it's unlikely that a prenup specifically to eliminate alimony would hold up in court.

There's almost no difference in what she did and what you would have preferred, that she go to the store perhaps just before getting the kids.

That's just about the same level of disrespect from the man as we're seeing here from the woman. Both are capable of extremes.

| 1 | When to tell your child you're dating someoneAlso if it’s feasible introduce your ex to your gf first That's terrible advice. My ex wanted me to meet her now ex-boyfriend (seeking approval, I assume) early on. He was a piece of shit, and I could see that when I met him. He knew I could see that. The fact that we were in a greasy spoon instead of somewhere more private is one of the few things that prevented a fistfight. All you're doing by setting up that meeting (unless you're looking at living together) is rubbing salt in the wounds. If … | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/11/19 03:03 PM |
| 2 | Questions about Pennsylvania (or any other states) that both no-fault vs fault divorce.Unless you have a reason to go at-fault, you generally will want to go no-fault in PA. Are the majority of divorces in PA no-fault or fault? And why? Most are no fault. It's much easier as you aren't trying to prove wrongdoing to the extent that the divorce is justified. It's also much cheaper as a result. I have heard that "fault" divorces take a very long time to get a court date, making PA mostly no-fault, but I'm not sure. It may take longer to get a court date, but there is also a lot more … | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/11/19 06:56 PM |
| -1 | TIL what she meant by "amicable"You're ignoring the bulk of what I said. Go back and re-read it, this time without the victim complex. She took care of the kids while you worked. If she had been working, she would have a work history and job that would give her significantly better income than any job she can get starting out right now. She would have developed a career and related skills. She didn't do that so that you more easily could. She will quite possibly have to get a job. You will have to support her anyway. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/10/19 03:42 PM |
| 5 | TIL what she meant by "amicable"Your comment shows a shocking lack of awareness or experience. Spousal support isn't universal. Among couples with similar earnings, there is no spousal support. Where it shows up, like here, one spouse has been building a resume, gaining work experience, and, in theory, increasing their income potential. OP is making money. He doesn't have to go find a job and start at the bottom. His soon-to-be-ex wife will have to find a job and start at the bottom, so her ability to earn anywhere near what h… | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/10/19 12:46 PM |
| 2 | TIL what she meant by "amicable"Let me throw some cold water on you here, from experience. If she was a SAHM and you were the one with the income, it is assumed that the choice was made to put her earning development on hold in favor of yours. You will absolutely walk away with less than 50/50, and that is perfectly reasonable. How long you can expect to pay spousal support will depend largely on how long you were together. It could even be essentially "for life", although it's hard to say without knowing more info like where … | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/10/19 11:59 AM |
| 9 | Found her magnum condomsSelf-medicating with drugs or alcohol isn't going to help, friend. When that wears off, the problem is still there. You just postpone it instead of dealing with it. Not sure that it will help, but lots of guys use the wrong size of condom. She probably didn't get with someone else because of dick size, as that's not usually a thing. Divorce is hard. Don't go looking for ways to make it harder for yourself | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/09/19 01:10 PM |

| 1 | Want to leave my wife, what to expect?You aren't getting any breaks on alimony if she's been a SAHM for the past decade. The court will look at that as she gave up the opportunity to work on a career so she could watch the kid, enabling you to work on yours. Child support can be as much as 55% of your income in PA. Her medical issues may mean more alimony as she would be less able to work. Might also affect custody if it affects her ability to parent, though. Lawyer's fees vary based mostly on how contentious the divorce is. A frien… | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/08/19 02:42 PM |
| 1 | To move or not to moveYou have gone against good sense. Get out of the purchase or find a way that doesn't put your daughter living there. Your future self will thank you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/07/19 12:48 AM |
| 1 | To move or not to moveWould be best for both of you if you don't. Not healthy for her to rely on you, and your idea isn't healthy, either. You're here looking for validation rather than advice, it seems. I hope you change your mind. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/07/19 10:22 PM |
| 1 | To move or not to moveYour reply only confirms my position when you say Well that's why I need her for support. That's not her job. That's not a parent-child relationship so that she can heal your emotional pain. I also don't want to be alone and can't see myself trusting someone or meeting someone for a while Trusting and meeting someone is talking about a romantic relationship. You dont want to be alone, and that's fine, but go make some friends. Everything you've said here screams don't live under the same roof as… | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/07/19 08:07 PM |
| 2 | To move or not to moveWhy? Because time and time again this destroys the relationship. You're not in a good spot mentally right now which will make that worse. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/07/19 07:30 PM |
| 1 | To move or not to moveThis is an incredibly bad idea. Get something you can afford or don't move. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/07/19 04:20 AM |
| 1 | To move or not to moveDo all of that except for the with my kid part or you've even odds of ending up in a r/tifu post or in one of the relationship subs because you're in no proper mind to be sharing a home with your child right now. Live nearby, maybe, but not in the same house. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/07/19 04:12 AM |
| 2 | To move or not to moveSelling the home might be a good idea, but for the love of all that you hold dear, don't live with your kid. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/07/19 04:09 AM |
| 1 | Supervised visits and my exNo, Dude put himself in a stupid situation based on his other comments, specifically with putting hands on his kid when he was already in hot water, smoking pot around the kids when it was illegal, even after in a program where he knew he'd be tested, and not taking the parenting or CPS seriously. Dude screwed himself. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/07/19 03:25 AM |
| 1 | Postnup, open marriage?You have to give to get. You're getting reduced exposure, but what are you giving? | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/07/19 05:06 AM |
| 2 | Postnup, open marriage?If I'm crazy, tell me. You're crazy. For an agreement to hold up, post-nup or otherwise, it's going to have to look reasonable. You both have to benefit. What, exactly, does she get out of agreeing to not get alimony for long, especially if you're not giving her as much alimony during that time? | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/07/19 03:53 AM |
| 8 | I'm stuck and don't know who to turn to.You're really jumping ahead here. First, it sounds like you need to sit down with your wife and set boundaries about family. Second, get some marriage counseling. A marriage counselor can actually help with that first part. This may end in divorce anyway, but you're jumping far beyond where you should at this point. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/06/19 01:21 PM |
| 2 | Does anyone else think of their ex still?The friend thing may be possible, but you need time to heal first. Thinking of her is normal, but there's no harm in seeing a therapist if it's bothersome to you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/06/19 02:08 PM |

| 1 | Would you divorce your partner for an online relationship?Given that he got on the site to deal with problems in the marriage, and given that he was talking to another woman on a site geared around sex, it's really not that much of a step from infidelity. It is quite possibly at least the early stages of either an emotional affair or steps towards a physical one. Marriage, even bad ones are two way streets. While this is generally good advice, it does not in the slightest let him off the hook for his actions. You cannot just blame the wronged spouse fo… | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/05/19 05:07 AM |

| 6 | Current 50/50 custody. Want 100%You're jumping around here. Legally I want to know, does 51% custody give me what I'm looking for? If you're looking for 100% custody, no. If you're looking to get money from her, possibly. Understand, you don't really show a convincing reason here as to why you should have 100% custody. Generally, it's best for the kids to have both parents in their lives. That you want to take full custody without giving a reasonable justification for doing so (aside from vague assumptions about her motives) h… | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/05/19 03:44 AM |
