| 2 | 12 years of marriage fell apart. Feeling lost and brokenGo to therapy, serious drown yourself in therapy for a while. It'll help you figure out what you want to do. It'll give you confidence and strength with time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/07/26 02:00 AM |
| 3 | how to enjoy life againSign up for classes to learn something new. Go to you local community College. Take beginning painting, piano 1, social dance. Go to the gym and work out. Make friends by going to meetu.ps. Walking groups are good. I signed up for improv classes. It's been fun. Boardgame groups are good. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/07/26 05:06 AM |
| 1 | Miss her or someoneI feel this too. I see my therapist weekly. I'm trying to build back my relationship with my sisters. I also go out most nights. I do an improv class, board game night, I've been working on organizing movies nights with some of the people I've met. I try to get numbers, Instagram, etc. I met another lonely guy and asked him to grab coffee. If you need someone to talk to shoot me a DM and we can setup a call. I do regret my divorce. I've brought up reconciliation, but I want it more than her so i… | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/07/26 01:18 PM |
| 3 | 6 months in, stuck with anger and despairI still have a hard time being alone. I don't have a solution for you, but I wanted to let you know I'm there also. I basically just make sure to leave the house regularly. 1 or 2 days a week at home to clean and reset, but go out to do something that involves other people all the other days. When I'm with my kids I'm focused on being with them. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/07/26 08:15 PM |
| 1 | Really struggling with regretI agree it is a dangerous line of thinking. I think you also need to be a bit honest with yourself. There is likely a person that's a better fit for me, but how likely am I to find them. Also truly how bad was my ex verse the other fish in the seas. Also can I live a happy life if a few things were different? How likely is it I get those things? If it's likely then work on them and enjoy. If not and you think you could find a new partner that will provide them, without any new downsides. Go for … | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/07/26 07:55 PM |
| 3 | Really struggling with regretI feel similar lately. My ex wife wasn't perfect but I'm realizing now there is no perfect. She had some issues but some were in response to how I behaved. I do feel like I did the right thing to divorce in the moment. I do wish I would have done some work on myself first. I do kind of have to accept that it's out of my hands to reconcile even if I hope we do. I need to prepare mentally to find someone else and I need to be ready to navigate someone with different issues. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/07/26 07:35 PM |
| 3 | Can't leave her because of kidsI was there also. I worked, cooked, cleaned, then went to bed. I did complained about her not helping and that just made her more angry. She will get half, you will get half. Kids are normally split. You have to go through an ugly year but you will be happier for it. Make sure you develop relationships you can talk to about this. Make sure you have a therapist. Do both of those before the divorce. Having people you can talk to was something I seriously wished I had. Also find a lawyer, I think t… | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/07/26 05:03 PM |

| 2 | I don’t know the title rantI agree that's why its such a huge risk to get married. If one person just decide to not do anything they can and you're forced to be the one that ends the relationship. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/07/26 10:38 PM |
| 3 | Coming to the realization my wife cheated on meI feel real dumb, just blinded by love I guess. More than anything I want my family, her family and "our" friends to know she's the one that was at fault. Some of them treat me as less than because they assume I did something wrong. It sucks! | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/07/26 03:53 PM |
| 1 | Coming to the realization my wife cheated on meWe'll see, I've renewed my plan to get my son tested to see if he's mine. My daughter looks identical to me, so no need. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/07/26 06:19 AM |
| 2 | Coming to the realization my wife cheated on meThe first two comments were while we were still living together the Olivia Rodrigo was related to the kids. I was asking to get her out of school for a day. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/07/26 05:30 AM |
| 2 | Suffering from Grass is Greener SyndromSadly most people die alone, even if married. If that really scares you focus on building deep friendships. If your worried about legacy adopt or mentor a kid. Be a big brother. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/07/26 05:09 AM |
| 4 | 45M, 7mo separated after 20y together, we have two kids. I feel I've alone the rest of my life.Make new memories! Make friends, meet women, make memories your children will remember. Go for walks, watch the sun rise, swim in the ocean, hug a tree. Dance, sing, you will never forget her but you will remember happiness and you can offer happiness to others. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/26 03:30 PM |
| 7 | My life is kinda ruinedNormally leaving is not something you have to do. Normally you get some of the assets. Hopefully it's enough to buy a used car and move to a town you want to be in. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/26 07:01 AM |
| 1 | Trying to deal with loss and Getting a divorceJust take it a day at a time. Go out and enjoy life the best you can. We've been there. It's gut wrenching but there is still joy to be had in life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/07/26 08:40 PM |

| 1 | I don’t know if I’ll ever marry again, but that seems so lonely.You don't need to be married to be with other people. Make friendships or have romantic partners. Build a life you enjoy and others around you might enjoy. The put yourself out there to find your people. Build a life with people you love and that love you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/06/26 04:40 PM |
| 7 | Towards male equality in divorce and standard litigation playbooks women useYeah unfortunately my wife was not interested in cleaning, cooking, childcare, or getting a real job. Yet everyone assumes she did most of everything. Family therapy has really helped the most because I point out she did none of these things and the kids quietly agree with me. I don't care if the whole world doesn't believe me. Therapy is a place where I feel safe (even though the kids rightly don't) to say the truth. My ex can't treat me like crap anymore. It sucks that men are treated like vio… | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/06/26 12:32 PM |

| 2 | Joined the club Wednesday. Well at least we’re starting the process.Cheating normally has no basis in court. Sadly many women cheat, take the kids, take a little more than half the assets, child support, alimony and pension. Court doesn't care. You are entities to half of all assets/debt/net assets accumulated during the marriage. If she's helping pay the mortgage, that sounds like more than she has too, yay for you! No kids is even better no child support to worry about. Texas normally doesn't give alimony so don't worry about it. You can try to get more than h… | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/06/26 09:28 PM |
| 7 | Joined the club Wednesday. Well at least we’re starting the process.Cheating not against the law. Try to ignore the possibility the best you can. Get the house and Financials ironed out and get a formal agreement with a lawyer. Don't be vengeful just get something you can live with and move on. Sounds like she's feeling guilty so she'll agree to something that makes sense. Getting a women to agree something fair is hard don't kick a hornets nest. Keep as much as you can and count yourself lucky. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/06/26 08:31 PM |

| 6 | Tomorrow is Father's Day and tonight I just hurtSorry to hear you're having such a hard time this father's day. The ups and downs are hard. Sounds like we were similar in how we treated the marriage. Continuous sacrifice. I do enjoy not having to do that anymore. My ex just didn't want to do shit. Now the time I do have, I get to focus on my kids and not having to manage another adults whole life. I wish you a hug on this father's day. Remember you have many years ahead with your daughter. Be a person she's proud of. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/06/26 01:29 PM |
| 1 | Men of Reddit, when did you decide to divorce and what is it like afterwards?Yeah that's hard also. I know it's hard but it may be best to let her go and try to get as much custody as your willing to take. Sounds like you baby will be okay but they'll want to see you in their time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/06/26 03:42 PM |
| 6 | Men of Reddit, when did you decide to divorce and what is it like afterwards?I basically felt like I waited until my kids were old enough to take care of themselves mostly. They are teens now and I pulled the trigger last year. I knew we were likely to divorce 10 years ago. She's not abusive, just completely neligent. She didn't cook, didn't clean, she thought teaching out kids to read was a waist of time, she wouldn't get a job, she'd take the kids and go home a month or two during the summer. We had a deadbed room. She wouldn't work with them on brushing teeth. So I di… | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/06/26 03:29 PM |
| 2 | Joining the ClubYeah emotions are wacky. My ex treated me bad, also I'm very sad we are divorced now. The good times flash back in waves then I remember the bad times and I settle again. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/06/26 05:01 AM |
| 0 | Finding Child Support UnfairI guess it would depend on when the education was obtained. Just like assets. Assets/education before marriage should be excluded. If the education was obtained during marriage I would think it should be additional. I agree it could be more than child support but feel fair to me. Child support with 50/50 custody just feels inherently unfair. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/06/26 05:02 PM |
| 2 | Finding Child Support UnfairYeah it's goofy, working less hours and making lazy career choices is rewarded to the laziest in divorce. I am of the opinion 50/50 custody should result in no child support. Asset split should be 50/50. I do think of one person is college educated vs not. There should be education support granted to the non-educationed equal to tuition and books of an current equivalent education. To me that should be it. If the lower income spouse has less in the future that is a natural result of working less… | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/06/26 04:45 PM |
| 4 | what to do immediately after dropping off kidsI pour myself into hobbies. Running, improv, stand up, salsa and social dancing in general. I do life at my home gym and clean the house. I work, but then I don't spenduch time at home. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/05/26 04:30 AM |
| 2 | How do you rebuild your identity after divorce, especially if the role of "husband" was a big part of who you wereAt least for me it's a time of rediscovery. What were the things that identified you before you were married? I used to love comedy and being silly. I used to enjoy dancing. I used to enjoy board games. I used to like driving around with friends and going to movies. I took an improv class, I took some dancing classes, and I attend boardgame nights. It's only been a few months and I am dad every other week. So the friendships aren't deep yet. However they are growing but by bit. I'm building my s… | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/05/26 10:47 PM |

| 9 | Unconscionable? - Ex and mediator put forth the idea that she is entitled to 102% of the marital estate.Yeah I got screwed by this also. My attorney and the mediator told me to come with a reasonable proposal I did. My wife started by asking for everything, we ended up between what I asked for and what my wife asked for. Don't do what I did, ask for everything and be a pain in the ass. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/05/26 12:31 AM |

I hope we can become closer and connect better. I'm nervous she won't want to and she stays in her room all week. I don't think it'll be all that bad, but I am nervous. I've never had this much time with them since the separation. We've had school and activities that haven't allowed for this much alone time so far in the separation, but this will probably be the longest stre… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/05/26 04:48 AM |
| 2 | Thoughts of Father's Day?I think you dealt with it fine. The kids recognize the unbalance in the schedule. They may perceive it as you not loving them. You made it clear holidays arent important to you and their happiness is your priority. That could be good enough. Kids may miss out on the experience of celebrating their father on father's day. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/05/26 02:42 PM |
| 1 | I'm getting bitter towards relationships in generalYounger people generally feel stronger emotionally. Dont you remember a bad t-shirt or not being asked to the dance are big deals at certain point of life. Once you've got a few decades under your belt and some life experience, you realize good things and bad things are happening all the time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/05/26 01:28 AM |

| 1 | Out Shopping for Mother’s Day…My wife bought presents for my birthday. I will return the favor. Mother and father's day were built into our agreement.

| 2 | D-DayI understand man, my wife treated me like crap, but I accept she'll never admit it. Her admitting it also won't change anything so not much to do about it. It sucks but it's a part of my life now. I just keep focus on my kids and our future. Sounds like you're doing good all things considered. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/26 07:50 PM |
| 2 | D-DayDo what she's doing, but do it for you. Get in shape, join clubs /activities you like, get a therapist to talk about your feelings. Appreciate that you didn't have kids. Maybe try to find a new job. I know it sucks, I filed and the day my ex moved out was very hard, but it's getting better. I'm remembering who I was as a single person. I still wish for what could have been but accept it won't be. I can only move forward. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/26 04:05 PM |

| 1 | Child supportMy attorney gave me a range of what's reasonable for my state and the income difference. I started in the middle of that range. My ex asked for the max. I ended up with a little less than max child support. This is even though I have 50% custody. Give her the what's put in the agreement and buy things with/for your kids directly. Don't give more than that unless required by the court. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/05/26 06:57 PM |

| 1 | How to deal with being the bad guy to kids and exYeah I figured things out in my early 20, some of my siblings never figured it out and their lives are in shambles. Makes me sad to see my kids learning that lying and laziness gets them what they want for now (it worked for mom) I just hope they figure out this doesn't work out for most people. I definitely take an I'm here if you need me approach now. It reduces the tension but bad grades and bad health persist. Good luck to you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/04/26 12:37 PM |
| 2 | Everyone recommends therapy but how many of you actually took therapy and saw some results? Please share good or bad results too!It does feel like an argument with an audience but at least to me it does seem to be putting pressure on both of us to do better so this third party sees us doing better. It may not feel like much but I see the improvement. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/04/26 02:25 AM |
| 3 | How to deal with being the bad guy to kids and exRewards is a great suggestion. I'll put that in place. Yeah the healthy food option has been tough, they just want junk food and I get call a bad dad by mom and the kids when I don't offer junk food. I'm try to think of a reward system for that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/04/26 12:52 AM |
| 2 | How to deal with being the bad guy to kids and exIt's very hard because they don't like brushing teeth and mom call me a bad guy for making them brush their teeth.

Playing boardgamed or watching movies with friends takes the edge off. Going for a run or lifting weight helps me feel good. I still cry at times when I'm without them.

| 1 | Wife left after starting a new life in her hometownOnce it starts parts of you will feel better, parts of you will feel worse. You will inherently do things better for yourself because you will have time, use it to do good things. Parts of you will feel worse, mourning the life you wish you had, and time with your child. Life is long, if you work through the set backs with an eye on improving yourself things will get better. If it takes years you'll likely have decades to enjoy the fruits of that decision. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/26 04:39 PM |

What if the nonworking spouse was toxic, should that spouse be responsible for future therapy? Or lost wages or career progression due to mental health issues? If there is evidence they were prevented from working then I would agree. Most high expense areas have a less expensive area within 10 miles.

I wish politicians cared about this issue but they don't. Try to get promoted. I do wonder if quitting a job would get things reduced.

| 1 | Any copping mechanism?If all your money would get stuck in child support, go to college. Community College is cheap and federal aid will likely pay for it. Then you may need to pay for university, go to a cheap accredited state school. Increase the amount you'll get paid in the future. It'll avoid being put into cs now. Youre gonna be poor either way you may as well build a future where you'll be less poor. Seriously strive to be the person your kids want to be around when their 18.

I guess in my case I felt like my spouse wasn't allowed to move them away from where we lived. Where we lived was fine for me to stay. So we built into the agreement to be within 10 miles of their high school. I know there are varying laws and situations.

No one seemed to care when I brought, they just saw my income was higher and so she got a lot of child support and half the assets.

| 1 | Help me (34F) understand my stbx husband (35M)Yeah sounds like he's been unhappy a while. | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/04/26 02:36 AM |
| 2 | Question about my divorceYou do. She could file and if you no show, no response eventually a judge will decide with only knowing her side. You could wait for her to file to do anything and just live how you are as a married individual living separately. You are normally required to be served to start the process. Then you can work with an attorney. If I thought it's likely to happen. I would at least start interviewing attorneys so you have someone you like when it starts to go down. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/04/26 10:15 PM |
| 4 | Help me (34F) understand my stbx husband (35M)He wants to get with other women. It's not more complicated then that. He's done with your relationship romantically. Could be for lots of reasons. Do you have further questions? I'm cool answering. Edit: this doesn't mean it's easy to him. If he initiated the divorce he could have been unhappy a long time and already accepted the end of the marriage a long time ago. Maybe you guys have had issues for a while and he mentally accepted this outcome long ago. This could also be how he's coping with… | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/04/26 09:58 PM |
| 1 | Negotiating Extracurricular Activity Limits and Registration Priority in Divorce Agreements ExtracurricularsInteresting, thanks for the thought. We've only had a few minor costs so far so it's seemed fine so far. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/04/26 04:43 PM |
| 1 | Negotiating Extracurricular Activity Limits and Registration Priority in Divorce Agreements ExtracurricularsWe agreed to one extra curricular that we are splitting costs related to. Everything else is by agreement and split costs with documentation. I can just not agree and the costs are up to my wife. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/04/26 04:30 PM |
| 2 | Negotiating Extracurricular Activity Limits and Registration Priority in Divorce Agreements ExtracurricularsI split all medical costs. I feel like its fine since my wife is also on the hook so it reduces abuse. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/04/26 04:24 PM |
| 1 | Considering Divorce, advice needed.If she won't go, go yourself, I didn't because I figured if she wouldn't go it didn't matter. But I think their communicate advice and help can help even if it's just for you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/04/26 01:32 PM |
| 2 | Honestly, how many of you in a relationship with a woman now that was hotter than your ex?Yeah, as long as there is attraction, I really want someone that is kind and wants to do things that are fun together. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/04/26 12:50 PM |
| 2 | Everrytime I walk to the store I make friemds.Yep getting out of the house is important | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/26 11:34 PM |
| 4 | Was the divorce your fault?Human have a strong ability to convince themselves that all their decisions are noble. Self reflection is difficult because it may lead me to learn I am bad and in need of change. Change is also difficult. I have found this trait to be very common characteristics of humans. Lots of people have convinced themselves their cheating is the fault of their partner. I also see this play out at work most of my life. It's very rare for people to take responsibility for their own actions. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/26 06:31 PM |
| 1 | Do I let her know?Yeah just send a message and don't think about it again. Treat people the way you would want to be treated is a good philosophy no matter what. If she doesn't fix it, that's on her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/04/26 03:11 PM |
| 4 | My ex has her settlement money in a market.Talking down to someone doing something responsible, even if unoptimized is poor form. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/04/26 07:21 PM |
| 1 | Thimk I'm going to treat myself to the a movie.I've starting joining social groups and got on their discord and got a group of about 10 to grab Chinese and watch hail mary. Took some showing up and trying to be talk-a-tive to get to this point but it's definitely big for me I love movies. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/04/26 04:06 AM |
| 5 | Love this forum helped me SO much.Make sure to focus on your future. As long as you're making progress on building the life you want. Getting and offering support from time to time from this forum is fine. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/04/26 06:51 PM |
| 2 | What Do I Do?You don't custody at all? You can have half time of you say you want it. Is the house a rental? If it's owned you should get 50% of the net value of the home in cash. Biggest thing to remember is a new normal will happen eventually try to envision how you'd like you life to be and work toward it | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/03/26 12:34 AM |
| 3 | What Do I Do?Sounds like you'll still be poor then, in some ways that makes it cleaner. Sorry to hear about the divorce and accident. Any specific advice you're looking for? | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/03/26 10:24 PM |
| 4 | What Do I Do?If you wife has money you will get half of assets and you can fight for alimony/child support. You will likely have to downscale and start making friends. Look at meet up for things to do. You can also volunteer to meet people. If you're religious you can go to church. Things will settle eventually, but it may take time. Be the best father you can be to your daughter. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/03/26 09:51 PM |
| 1 | Dragging my feetMy wife and I had good times, but I realize if my wife doesn't care to work on the relationship it's not going to get better. I'm pretty recent I to my divorce as well. My ex and me get along in the moments we interact with each other, it makes me miss the good times. I remember the bad times though and realize of we got back together today nothing would really have changed and I'd be regretting it the minute we got back together. So unfortunately if I'm the only one that wants it to work then i… | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/03/26 02:14 AM |
| 6 | Let’s get to the point - did she leave us because of money, sex or boredomYeah years of unhappiness makes getting over divorce look fast from outsiders. I still get sad when thinking about the good times. Then I remind myself of the mostly bad times and it helps me realize how fortunate I am to get out and happy building the life I want for me and my kids, when I have them. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/03/26 03:01 PM |
| 7 | Let’s get to the point - did she leave us because of money, sex or boredomI think I'm in the minority of men who left. I think people leave due to built up unhappiness and it can truly happen for an endless variation of reasons. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/03/26 01:44 PM |
| 3 | Delusional Ex WifeDefinitely a question for an attorney. I put this in a maybe category. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/03/26 04:00 PM |
| 1 | Reliving the divorceI know it sucks but life's long, keep working through it. Find moments of happiness. Maybe you need to be and stay unmarried. I think being single kind of sucks, just don't get married. I'm even against moving in together. You need to protect yourself. Love the kids the best you can while keeping your distance from the ex. You can try harder once their 18. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/03/26 02:14 PM |
| 7 | Today I RealisedHave you considered the red light district? | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/26 06:19 PM |

| 6 | Financial slaveryMy wife also refused to get a job for 12 years, thank God I live in Texas the slavery will be over when my kids are 18. Edit: She got a lot in assets and child support because the income difference. We still have 50/50 custody. Definitely feels like a reward for not working. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/03/26 05:19 AM |
