| 4 | Wife wants out.. Game PlanNo spouse just wakes up 1 morning and says to themselves “I want a divorce.” No, it’s been brewing in her for sometime, probably the last year. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/08/25 03:04 AM |
| 3 | I don't think she cheated but..Sorry brother, not to pour on to what others have stated, but she slept with that co-worker and once he got what he wanted a few times, decided to stay with his wife, so she’s being “normal” now because her plan B failed (co-worker not the pill). Chances are strong that your marriage is over, because it’s not IF this happens again, it’s when and this time, it’ll hurt a lot more. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/07/25 08:19 PM |
| 6 | I Live in PA. My Ex and I Are Not Divorced Yet. She Just Removed Me from Her Health Insurance. Is This Allowed?It might depend on her employer, if this was done during open enrollment then unfortunately she’s well within her right to remove you. When I had my now ex removed, since it wasn’t during open enrollment they wanted a certified copy of the divorce decree. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/07/25 08:36 PM |
| 1 | Went to my first consultation with a lawyer. I’m having a hard time accepting the potential amount I would need to pay. How do I get through this?No, no kids of our own, she had her money, I had mine. We only had 1 joint account which was for the household expenses. How long married, 11 years. With child custody it varies. I’ve seen where it’s split 50/50, my ex had 2 kids from a prior marriage and she had them all day Monday-Wednesday, then Thursday by 5pm they meet at a neutral location (police substation) and the dad took them until Sunday 5pm. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/07/25 02:40 PM |
| 8 | Went to my first consultation with a lawyer. I’m having a hard time accepting the potential amount I would need to pay. How do I get through this?What state are you in? Here in Texas, alimony/spousal support is heavily frowned upon by the courts. My ex hired this high priced attorney who promised her that he could get her half of ALL my retirement accounts along with spousal support, they refused mediation and insisted on a trial which was a bench trial. When all was said and done, the look on their faces while the judge declared no spousal support and that the house must be sold (which I had been asking for since the day of the filing an… | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/07/25 03:11 AM |
| 3 | I’m Bankrolling My Own Execution, Should I Crowdfund My Survival?Sorry brother, but you got screwed by your attorney on this one. Any attorney worth its salt would’ve fought tooth and nail against that order to have you pay all household expenses and for her attorney. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/07/25 05:23 PM |
| 7 | Was served today, I am fumingThis is where you will really need to keep your emotions in check. Guarantee, she’s going to do everything in her power to get you to be violent towards her, thus she calls the cops on you and now there’s allegations of domestic abuse. Lawyer up, and be very careful what you say and do around her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/07/25 06:08 AM |
| 14 | After 20 years she blindsides me with “i dont want to be married anymore”No female wakes up one day and says “yeah, I want a divorce.” It’s been brewing in her mind for sometime, at least 6-7 months if not longer. If she has single friends, guarantee they’re encouraging her, and even though she says she isn’t cheating, can almost guarantee she has slept with someone already or she has a person in mind. The truth is never nice 90% of the time, my ex said she wasn’t cheating, swore to high heaven, only for her to accidentally send me a text message with “baby I need it… | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/03/25 10:53 PM |
| 8 | Keeping your last name.My ex kept the last name, I asked if she could go back to her maiden name, she answered with “talk to my lawyer if you want to talk with me.” | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/02/25 01:38 PM |
| 6 | Wife suggesting we won’t make it as a married couple. All because of Trump.Honestly, she’s just looking for a reason to leave, it’s been brewing in her for sometime. If all it takes is her in laws being Republican, sorry brother, she’s looking for a way out and using politics as the excuse. My advice, leave her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/11/24 09:02 PM |
| 1 | Question for menShe doesn’t sign it, no marriage. This is what you have NOW, imagine what you’ll have 10-12 years from today. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/07/23 02:42 AM |
| 4 | Question for menBrother, you can include almost anything in a prenup. Only thing you’re not able to include would be child custody, but when it comes to financials, hell the fuck yes you can include it. The last thing you want is 10 years to go buy and she files for divorce, then she’s entitled to the very minimum of 50% of YOUR hard work, setting you back financially 5-6 years to try and make up that income YOU earned. If she doesn’t sign it, there’s no marriage. Protect yourself brother! Because if/when that … | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/07/23 01:20 AM |
| 1 | Question for menProtect yourself fellow Kings! Do not show mercy or kindness, because like many have stated, she will NOT show the same for you years down the line. If she refuses to sign, then postpone the wedding if not cancel. Make it very clear, your retirement is all yours and she is not entitled to any of it! Keep separate accounts, I’ve seen many times where the wife empty’s the joint account, and when that happens, there is nothing the bank can do about it, because she’s joint on the account and has equ… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 06:07 PM |
| 2 | Question for menSo true! Friend of mine, his fiancé refused to sign a prenup, but he still went through with the marriage. And 13 years and 3 kids and a house later, she filed for divorce, was awarded the house and took $100k from his retirement accounts. He only gets every other weekend with the kids. Had he stood his ground for the prenup, she wouldn’t have gotten anything from him. He put the down payment for the house, paid in full 2 cars for her during the marriage, and he ended up getting screwed. Now, he… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 05:56 PM |
| 3 | Question for menCheap to get married, expensive as hell to get divorced, especially when the male is the higher earner. Family law doesn’t care that the guy was paying for the wife’s debts or got her debt free, all it sees is the income. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 02:15 PM |
| 5 | Question for menBrother, if she’s refusing to sign a prenup, that’s a huge red flag. In a divorce, a 50/50 split is a loss for the woman. Depending on the state, most don’t award the wife much of anything if the marriage is under 10 years. I knew my marriage was heading for divorce in 2019, but when shit hit the fan in March 2020 with Covid, that delayed the process. I used the CARES ACT to withdraw $95k from my 401k and had it deposited into my sister’s account, then took a loan for an additional $35k and put … | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/07/23 07:15 AM |
| 1 | What did you do with your ringI gave it back to the jeweler, they gave me store credit along with an additional 30% if I choose to buy anything in the future. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/06/23 07:41 PM |
| 3 | Not filed yet…but she’s separating financesProtect yourself fellow Kings! Guarantee, she’s been talking to someone, possibly a lawyer or a friend. Open an individual account at a different bank, move your direct deposit to that new account. Last thing you want, is for her to take ALL the money from the joint account, because there is NOTHING the bank can do to stop her, if she’s on the account, she has full legal access to any and all money. The one good thing about getting married and divorced in Texas, good luck to the wife getting ali… | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/06/23 04:05 AM |
| 1 | Just curious to know. How many of y’all had people who thought you were a lucky guy because your wife was attractive but in reality the only thing you were getting was starfish sex and she never initiated ?I told her she needed to protect herself financially, which is what I started to do in the early months of the pandemic. Last I know, he wouldn’t leave his wife, and my now ex, didn’t care about anyone but herself. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/06/23 10:50 PM |
| 1 | Just curious to know. How many of y’all had people who thought you were a lucky guy because your wife was attractive but in reality the only thing you were getting was starfish sex and she never initiated ?This was back in 2019, the dude was also married. His wife came to the house, lol! It was during the day, I was off and she was at work. And she said, “I’m Chandler’s wife, looks like we both are being kept in the dark.” I said nope, she flat out told me a few weeks back, so i’m just buying time. Then the pandemic hit a few months later and that delayed everything. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/06/23 04:53 PM |
| 14 | Just curious to know. How many of y’all had people who thought you were a lucky guy because your wife was attractive but in reality the only thing you were getting was starfish sex and she never initiated ?Only reason I found out, was because she accidentally texted me “I’m wearing your favorite color and style underneath, can’t wait for you to remove it all later.” And I know she wasn’t texting that to me, because we had just gotten into another argument, then I left for work while she was getting into the shower. And we hadn’t had sex in almost 5 months, so I know that text wasn’t for me. She tried to play it off, saying it was meant for me, and her way of saying she’s sorry. I just replied “lol… | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/06/23 04:42 AM |
| 13 | Just curious to know. How many of y’all had people who thought you were a lucky guy because your wife was attractive but in reality the only thing you were getting was starfish sex and she never initiated ?I know the feeling. Mine is an attorney for one of the biggest banks in the country (starts with JP), and guys would tell me, you’re so lucky! And I’m thinking, fuck no, she’s a first class bitch! Just because she looks good, doesn’t mean she’s good in bed, she was horrible! But when she slept with her co-worker she blamed me. That is what eventually led to our divorce. I’ve never been happier than I am today! | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/06/23 03:37 AM |
| 1 | Any tips on being alone?It’s different for everyone brother. I chose not to date right away, instead I just did things I wasn’t able to do a lot in the marriage. Try new restaurants, hit the gym at convenient times, play video games, reconnected with old friends, spent time with my nieces and nephews (she hated how I would go over to see them). It was almost a year after the divorce when I started dating again. And now, I have an amazing girlfriend, her family loves me, my family loves her. My ex, her parents loved me,… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/06/23 04:00 PM |

| 2 | Signs Marriage is OverCommunication stopped, when something that we both liked would be on, she sat on the couch but at the very far end. The snide remarks/insults she would make. I brought home dinner one time, and I forgot the extra side she asked for, and her remark was “coming from a person like you, this doesn’t surprise me.” Or at a restaurant, the waiter would take a while and she’d get upset and say shit like “a real man would’ve taking a stand and called the manager over, but this is you.” So shit like that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/06/23 08:03 PM |

| – | Does filing w/court ever help reduce alimony/child support?I was married/divorced in Texas, 16 years. My ex and her attorney tried hard to get alimony, and the judge basically laughed in there face. My attorney, when the divorce was filed, said not to worry about alimony, I make $100k, she only made $60k, so of course i was worried, but when all was said and done, she only got $20k from my 401k. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/23 02:48 PM |
| 1 | Does filing w/court ever help reduce alimony/child support?Sad to say, but your ex played you, she has no intentions of getting a full time job, especially with you paying X amount in alimony. Did you get an attorney to look over what you agreed to? That’s the one thing I love about Texas, good luck to any wife being awarded alimony/spousal support. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/06/23 02:42 AM |
| 1 | Today she dropped the word divorce…how to protect?I’m waiting until at least late next year. My sister has it in her savings with me listed as her beneficiary, just incase. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/05/23 09:26 PM |
| 4 | Today she dropped the word divorce…how to protect?I knew my marriage was heading for divorce in 2020, and Covid actually did me a favor and delayed the process. I used the CARES ACT and took out $95k from my 401k, gave that check to my sister to hold in her savings, then took a loan from my 401k for $35k, leaving only $33k, and my 2 IRA’s that were left to me by my grandparents, so she wasn’t entitled to those funds. I filed at the beginning of Jan this year, her attorney asked for 2 years worth of financial records 😂. When all was said and don… | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/05/23 06:42 PM |
| 1 | Today she dropped the word divorce…how to protect?What state do ya’ll reside in? My brother, no no no! You wish her no ill will, while that is very kind and generous, trust me and others on here will agree. In the back of her mind, she is thinking about crushing you. To quote the Karate Kid movie, “NO MERCY.” | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/05/23 06:32 PM |
| 2 | 30m wife and I want no difficultiesProtect yourself at all cost. And like they say in the Karate Kid movie, show NO mercy! Funny, but it’s true! I guarantee, she will not show any to you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/05/23 04:14 AM |
| 3 | 30m wife and I want no difficultiesAnd he needs to do it before they hit the 10 year mark, once that 10 years hits, she’s going to want 50% of his retirement. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/05/23 03:00 AM |
| 2 | 30m wife and I want no difficultiesAnd he needs to file the paper work NOW! Once that marriage hits 10 years, she’s entitled to half his retirement. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/05/23 01:39 AM |
| 6 | 30m wife and I want no difficultiesUnfortunately, it’s extremely rare with spouses stating they want no issues. Then once money is brought up, that’s when the gloves come off for the wife. For a wife, they consider a 50/50 split to be a loss in their eyes. If she brought up the idea of divorce a month ago, I guarantee she’s been thinking about it for at least a year, if not longer. If your payroll goes into a joint account with her, talk to your employer and give them a new account which only has your name attached to it. If ther… | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/05/23 01:38 AM |
| 4 | Should I leave my wife?The marriage is basically over, you two are just roommates at this point. When a wife ask for a divorce, 95% of the time, her mind has been made up for months and has probably been thinking about it for at least the last year. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/05/23 04:47 AM |
| 1 | Giving up equity shareI knew divorce was a strong possibility in 2020, but the pandemic put those plans on hold. But to protect myself, I used the CARES ACT to withdraw $95k from my 401k and gave that check to my sister to hold in her savings account. Fast forward to Jan 2023, she files for divorce, we start discovery, her attorney ask for 2 years worth of financial statements in my name. So I provided everything from 2021 to present. Since it’s Texas, judge denied her request for alimony/spousal maintenance, and she… | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/05/23 06:01 AM |
| 2 | Future STBXW throwing bricks at the wall to see what sticks. [TX]In Tx, it’s hard to get spousal support/alimony, my ex tried that and the judge basically laughed in her attorneys face. Thankfully, I knew a divorce was imminent, so since they usually ask for 2 years worth of financial statements, in 2020, I used the CARES ACT to withdraw almost $95k from my 401k and gave that to my sister to hold in her account, and I limited my contributions from 10% to 1%. So when the divorce was filed back in Jan, they only asked for statements from 2021 to present 😂 My ex… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/05/23 08:59 PM |
| 3 | How many of your all’s marriages were savable? But your wife refused to work with you.I understand brother, my ex was 8 years older than me, had a great career (attorney for TD Bank) and attractive! But she was just rotten to the core, and once I realized that, fuck her looks, especially with her own sister telling me she was a POS person. It’s been a few years since we divorced and I’ve never been happier. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/05/23 02:11 PM |
| 1 | Considering Divorcing Deadbeat Spouse but proceedings could be needlessly drawn out (Texas)Exactly, I was married 16 years, only thing she got was $20k from my 401k, but no spousal support, OMG was she pissed!!😂 Her attorney tried to appeal several times, but the judge was very adamant each time. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/23 08:53 PM |
| 1 | Considering Divorcing Deadbeat Spouse but proceedings could be needlessly drawn out (Texas)Thankfully you married in Texas. She won’t get spousal support and is not entitled to anything since the marriage is under 10 years. Sucks to be here. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/23 08:51 PM |
| 1 | How to deal after divorce if I strike hard and first ?It sounds funny, but it’s 1000% true, like in the Karate Kid, “No Mercy!” The moment you show mercy, she’s already planning behind your back and she will strike hard once you let your guard down. Like MANY others on have said, STRIKE FIRST, STRIKE HARD, NO MERCY! | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/23 07:47 PM |
| 1 | mother's dayShe’s an ex for a reason, good mother or not. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/23 07:43 PM |
| 1 | 😣 help!!!DO NOT LEAVE!!! File for divorce, once you take inventory of all things, then and ONLY then, if your attorney advices to leave, then ok. What you want to do is avoid ANY chance of her trying to start something physical and file false domestic violence charges. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/23 06:17 PM |
| 1 | AcceptanceIr sucks at first brother, but just know you’re better off. She doesn’t deserve any head space, and if she did you wrong in the divorce, just remember, people reap what they sow in this world. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/05/23 05:44 PM |
