| 1 | Want a divorce from wife who hangs money over my headWhat state? Because my wife did the same thing, but I always had a golden parachutes told to me my whole life...never worry about money, bit then she managed to destroy my relationship with my family after it was filed...so yea 100% f'd. But some lawyers will see how skewed everything is and take their payment from the settlement. Trust me my man you are entities. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/09/23 04:10 AM |
| 1 | Does anyone know if there’s legal aid?I know my lawyer is 1 asking for legal fees as my wife also left me broke and has a chunk of money, she also said at least at her firm if/when the retainer runs out not to worry she isn't going to leave me they offer or work with people who offer loans that come out of the settlement. Like in my case its a sure thing I am getting equity in the house possible maintenence and such so I think if you have a solid case and will be getting something they feel safe doing the loan. Its just so dumb to m… | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/08/23 04:04 PM |
| 1 | New carLol you know what I meant "as", sometimes especially here where you start to get going on a rant the brain is going faster then the fingers can go. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/08/23 03:55 PM |
| 3 | Should I get an Attorney?100% agree, I didnt get a lawyer at first as it was civil and seemed like we would just do mediation. She got a lawyer when I told her to file since I left her and didn't have money to file, after that she became an evil person worse than I had ever seen. Mediation went out the window I yelled at her lawyer and got myself a contrmp of court for something. She then filed and won sole custody temporarily for now but I doubt I will ever see my house again, only found this out after getting the pape… | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/08/23 03:53 PM |
| 2 | New carI like your thinking 😆 Just sucks because even if insurance gives me full current value I still owe so would only be left with maybe 4k and bad credit now. I am going for maintenance against her in court since makes good money and left me basically broke, which will help but I need a new car like now because insurance as of now is only paying for the rental for like another week. I also like how my soon to be ex had no issue when she lost her diamond in her ring and hadn't been doing the 6 month… | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/08/23 02:24 PM |

| 1 | I’m running out of ideas. Help please?It will get better, I am still kind of fresh in the process only like 3 months since I left. I did literally the same thing, packed my pup in the car and drove from Colorado to Illinois and am rebuilding. I use my pup as my shining light to keep me going. I got a simple job nothing to be super proud of or make a lot of money, but just focusing on trying to get out there and keep my mind busy helps. The pain will take time and hits will keep coming, crap I totaled my car. Focus on yourself and yo… | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/08/23 07:54 PM |

| 3 | When it rains it pours...Of course, so 1 was I shut her cell phone off for a day because she was attacking me then not responding, in the papers severed it said we had to keep paying what we had paid, so when her lawyer said I will file you in contempt I said I don't give a S file me in contempt. Then it also became a bigger issue because I had Sprint who Tmobile brought and couldn't remember my pin to get full account access, as it had been like 20 years since making that pin through Sprint...so after arguing on the ph… | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/08/23 12:05 AM |

| 3 | Emotional advice for someone who was still investedWon't always feel like it, but its there...I learned that from all the stories on here...but it will suck for a while. Even talking on here makes such a difference because the stories are all so similar and the emotions are very real and talking to someone who has been in our shoes is far different then a friend just saying yeah I get it etc | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/08/23 07:20 PM |
| 3 | Emotional advice for someone who was still investedI'm roughly 10 weeks separated. Everyday gets easier I promise that. At first I was so lost and down in myself, but as time passes I have even felt bad for her and it's like wait I didn't do anything wrong. My situation was so bad I am the one that left her, our house, my job etc...and yea I am still struggling mostly financially to get back on my feet, but overall I have such a toxic weight lifted off of me.

| 13 | Did I make the right call?Just roll with it my guy. Life sucks, BUT if he's not a douche yet don't treat him one, ultimately she made the choice. You will always be their dad, as long as he respects them and treats them good just let it happen because honestly it will likely fail. It is the grass is greener syndrome, I doubt it is. So focus on your kids and be civil with her but nothing else, anyone who pulls this crap isn't worth a second thought. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/08/23 12:43 AM |
| 3 | Light at the end of the tunnelNot looking forward to the whole process, but she left me in financial ruin and makes really good money, so I just pray I can get some maintenance and a settlement from our house. It started civil till she got a lawyer and now its turned vicious on her part...no fun but I agree this sub has helped me through some rough times. Its nice to see all the guys band together and support eachother, its also scary to see how similar sonmany stories are. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/08/23 02:08 PM |
| 2 | Feeling aloneIt took a lot of strength, and I know it will still be a lot of suffering...I even ask myself if I regret it, but I can't because if I was driven that far then it was obviously really bad and wasn't going to get better. So now I get to have my stbx make me look like a monster since after she talked to her lawyer she became a monster and all these new stories from her are coming out...so sure the next couple months are going to be hell and really expensive because what started civil has not drast… | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/07/23 04:33 AM |

| 1 | Divorcing Wife VocabularyWhen I left my stbx and told her to file I wanted to do mediation as it was civil at that point, we had even talked about trying to make it work. She ended up getting a lawyer and filing and for the first time since I have known her she said it wouldn't work because she was scared of me...I couldn't believe her lawyer was able to manipulate her into not only saying that but actively stepping between us and us possibly making it work. My wife has now done a 180 and its getting petty and bitter so… | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/07/23 10:24 PM |
| 7 | Missing the memories and life, maybe not the personIn the same boat my guy, I miss the companionship, being able to watch shows together or wake up and just talk in bed. We will get this though. I had to leave amd I think that pissed her off because now it went from civil where I thought we would mediate and then she got a lawyer and now she has turned I into such a petty bitter person, so I certainly don't miss that version of her, or the old one honestly. Hang in there. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/07/23 04:14 PM |
| 1 | She wants to get a mediator. Settle this without getting messy with lawyers.Its hard I had to walk away from my job, I am struggling so bad financially right now. It seemed like it was going to be civil at first then she talked to a lawyer and now she's turned into a monster, worse then she was before when I decided I had to leave and for now leave everything behind. All my crap minus my clothes, computers and my pup are all back in Colorado and I'm in Illinois now, so thats going to be another battle to get it all but currently I can't even pay my bills.

| 1 | Is it a mistake not hiring a lawyer?My stbx and I were civil, then she got a lawyer and it all changed for the worst. So now we are both blowing a ton to just make the lawyers richer. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/07/23 07:42 PM |
| 1 | Is it a bad idea to blow this whole thing up?Just reversed, I left our house in Colorado to come back to Illinois so no RO needed but the fact she said it shocked me, I filed for maintenance so we will see how that goes...and no kids. But yes my story is so similar to so many on here. I think maybe she is mad/embarrassed that I left her...but how does that justify becoming a monster overnight. Like I said it was civil till she got a lawyer and the only one making pit here is the lawyers. She doesn't want me to get money but she will pay 10… | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/07/23 04:51 PM |
| 3 | Great support groupTotally agree...this outlet has been a life saver. My wife and I were being civil separating, then she got a lawyer and all off a sudden she said she was "scared" of me...wtf she's never said that and while we have agrued there was never violence on my part. So now its turning into a court battle that will probably cost us 10s of thousands for no reason. I don't recognize her anymore. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/07/23 03:53 PM |
| 1 | Need advice. Do I go for broke? [TX]Fight for whats yours. My stbx was the bread winner and is trying to drag me thru the coals in our settlement, but what the court will learn when we have our initial meeting is that for a couple years my wife was in pain and ended up needing surgery after they finally figured it out, so for those years I was essentially a care taker I did 95% of the shopping, cooking, cleaning and chores, and yard work...so yea she made more but I waited on her hand and foot so I am entitled to the marital prope… | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/07/23 03:10 PM |

| 2 | 9 YEAR ESTANGED WIFENot an answer to your question, but one thing I learned here is none of us are bitches, we put up with all the abuse to try and honor our vows while they walked all over us, treated us however they wanted and always made us out to be the bad guy. No more, we get up off our knee we pull the knife from our back and we stand tall and we fight and we win. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/07/23 02:53 PM |

Its far too long we deal with their bs...ms stbx agreed to lend me money for bills since she left me a financial wreck...then after she got a lawyer she contested it and all the charges got kicked and I am sure there will be late fees too...Im getting my lawyer in a week ish and I emailed her and her lawyer I am going after her for fraud.

My stbx were going to part amicably, then she got a lawyer and wors like I am scared of you came up, I have NEVER been angry or physical to her, so it shows me they are planning something, that's not okay in my book.

She would also say COMPLETELY untrue stuff just to try and hurt me...so we went to counseling once, the counselor agreed with most of my issues at which point we leave and my stbx said the counselor did not know what she was talking about or how to do her job and was unprofessional, so we never went back.

| 1 | How to keep turning the ex down?Same with my ex, I miss having her to talk to more then I miss having sex with her...the reason I left is she became just such a bad toxic person that while she is naturally pretty I didn't find her attractive anymore. Didn't want to touch her not even hold her hand...she was so bad to me she became ugly to me inside and out. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 07:58 PM |
| 1 | Anyone else having trouble with attraction??I feel ya. Lost contact with almost all my friends during my marriage, and now I just don't have interest to put in any effort. I do miss having someone though, coming home and being able to talk or to send a text and chat. Thats why this chat group has been really helpful just to talk about my situation and read others in similar situations. It helps to keep my mind off my current situation but it does get lonely at times. Obviously talking to a female is different and I do miss that but all th… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 07:32 PM |
| 1 | The Dark PassengerStay strong, you control your dark passenger not the other way around. I too have demons and severe depression, and I hit a real low when I left my wife...it was bad, but then I said I am not letting her win and take me down. I am going to get off my knee, take the knife out of my back and fight until I win and I feel joy not pain. I'm not going to pretend I can give it a time limit but I am not giving up at any cost. I/you are too good to do that. Stay strong and keep your head up, things will … | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 07:06 PM |
| 2 | Swing from anger to apathy, long storyYea I'm in the 10% I left her and decided I had enough of the toxicity and mental abuse...and let me tell you I think that REALLY pissed her off, because it was somewhat civil until she talked to her lawyer and now they are basically out to destroy at every turn. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 06:56 PM |
| 3 | Swing from anger to apathy, long storyI'm in the se boat, currently financially wrecked and will take a while to get back on track and I can't get any equity or sell anything until after the divorce is final. I really want to find someone just to be able to be around and talk to, the loneliness has been the hardest because especially when I am alone I get into my own head then start thinking oh I miss her this and that but in reality I don't I just miss having someone. I also can't tell you the number of times we would get into it a… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 06:53 PM |
| 1 | What the hellYou are not kidding, my wife and I had talked about maybe trying to make it work...I said just file, but we were still civil. Then she talks to her lawyer and files and next thing I know she's doing a complete 180 in how she talks to me and addresses things. She told me she didn't want me living in our house in the guest room because she was scared of me...WTF did her lawyer tell her to say that for the first time in our relationship she said I scared her?!? Even when we did argue I barely raise… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 06:19 PM |
| 1 | NumbI am going through this currently, just left my wife a month ago and the mental game in my head has been really hard to deal with. I don't have a magic fix currently, but I will say being in here and talking and reading others similar stories has helped me to start feeling like I am not out of control. Down but certainly not out and I need to get her out of my head. I hate this process is going to take so long because that keeps us having to talk and or interact even if its just once we start ha… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 06:12 PM |
| 1 | Need adviceIf you are serious about trying to make it work counseling is a must. Don't forget all the bad of the past though it doesn't just go away. I really wish I could try to make my marriage work but after just a month apart I realize that it just won't there were way to many red flags I ignored and I in my heart of hearts do not see them magically going away. I think for me the loneliness is the only reason I wished we tried again, I have always been with someone and the quite time just gives me time… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 06:05 PM |
| 1 | I want to understand what the hell happened.I hear you and totally understand how much it sucks. You will get through it, just don't bottle up talk as often as you need. I chose to leave and am just starting the process of the divorce but I totally get what you mean I sit around especially when alone and think is this just a nightmare/dream. But in the short time in this chat group I already am starting to feel better and slowly feel like a human again. It will take time a lot of time I know, but we can't give up. I also get what you mean… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 05:51 PM |
| 1 | A bit of a ventNow that I left and we are starting the divorce process she is accusing me of planning for this divorce since we got married. I had a great job a nice house and lived alone and could do anything I wanted anytime. Why in the hell would I get married just to get divorced, because even though I chose to leave let me tell you this still sucks and is really hard and a struggle getting through the day. Once I get a new job and can actually catch up on my bills and have at least that going it will be m… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 05:10 PM |
| 1 | A bit of a ventI got so tired of voicing my opinion just to have her try to turn it around on me and act like the victim. I am lucky I don't have kids because I was able to leave just over a month ago and move back across the country. Granted I left an amazing house and job and 95% of my stuff back there, but I can get my stuff eventually. I actually think it really pissed her off that I left her, but I couldn't take the mental abuse anymore, it was leading me to a very dark place and I hadn't been happy in pr… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 04:51 PM |
| 2 | I just have to take a little moment for myself and I want to share it with you guys. I just unloaded my stuff from a Uhaul, into my own apartment. This is my victory.Just starting my divorce process, I can't wait until I get on my feet and get my own place because 90% of the furniture, kitchen appliances, pots, pans, knives etc back at my house are all pre marital assets. Which means when the divorce is finalized I will be packing all that up and leaving her with essentially an empty house...and even stuff I don't want Im just going to throw out. Shes going for the throat in this divorce, maybe she's extra pissed since I left her but I'm not giving her anyth… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 04:40 PM |
| 2 | New to thisThanks my guy. Yea applied for a new job second interview tomorrow, first interview she asked whats something you want to or need to work on, I said my mental health. Too long I put everyone else first...not anymore. Thanks for the words they mean a lot even if I don't personally know you. Worst part is I went across the country so when this is all done I have to go back and get all my shit, but I'll cross that when I get there. I've told friends I embrace "one step at a time, regardless I will … | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 01:12 AM |
| 1 | New to thisI plan on it, but she literally left me financially screwed...ironically she lost her diamond from her ring like 8-9 months ago and of course hadn't been doing the 6 month check ups so the jewler didn't replace it free, and guess what we up sized and upgraded the quality...yay me. So when I reply to the paperwork she filed when I told her just file one of the things I am requesting is legal fees, because that comes from any marital assets we acquired during our marriage. She probably won't be ha… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 01:00 AM |
