| 1 | Decision to divorce.In the end it doesn‘t matter anymore. What matters is that you can close this chapter and open up a new one (not re relationships, but chapter in life). It is hell of a process! And as mother of your kids she will remain a part of our lives to some degree or other. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/11/21 07:50 PM |
| 2 | Decision to divorce.A crush on somebody. Somebody close where she developed more feelings that are strictly comparible with being in a relationship. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/11/21 06:26 AM |
| 2 | Am I a victim and an assaulter?The fuck are you asking whether you‘re the aggressor? Bro, read again what you wrote and ask yourself what advice would you give? GTFO! | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/11/21 05:41 PM |
| 1 | Need help understandingNo, it for sure isn‘t. Reading OP, to me at least the situation seems untenable. Either they work together to find a solution and it doesn‘t seem that she is willing. Or they don‘t. What he experiences must be hell at least for people to whom physical contact is important. As his needs aren‘t met she will feel pressured, so my guess is they both are in hell. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/11/21 01:25 PM |
| 2 | Need help understandingJust for the records: „all the men are accusing her of cheating“ There‘re various posts that mention the possibility that she might be asexual. And you come here into a sub where people were or still are in a personal crisis. Of course we project! If you want a rational discussion I guess you‘ll find that on r/chess, possibly. Certainly not here and that is as it should be. Also, many of us had similar experiences and yes, in case she‘s not asexual, chances are that she‘s in a kind of affair. Be… | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/11/21 11:48 AM |
| 1 | Need help understandingAs she rejected counceling I guess he‘s already at Plan C: walk. Calling all other responses useless while yours reads as if you hadn‘t read OP at all. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/11/21 10:58 AM |
| 5 | Decision to divorce.Many rewrite history in order to rationalize their wanting out. That also leads to gaslighting. Also, sounds like she is in an Emotional Affair. That sucks, I know, but it is what it is. Minimize contact, get divorced, get a new life. It hurts like hell, but time does heal. Eventually. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/11/21 09:37 AM |
| 2 | She left me and the kids with no income. Will she be held accountable?Your kids still need you even when they are 18. they need a dad more than money. Money is no valid reason to check out early. (Also, as your XW is making nuff, what real difference would it make moneywise?) You need therapy. Your worth is not connected to your income. That ultimate sacrifice you speak of is not for the kids, but for yourself. But there‘s more & better out there that you earned to experience. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/11/21 08:47 AM |
| 3 | She breaks up our family yet wants us to act like a family ?"but we'll always remain family". I heard that also. And nope, that's not what divorce means to me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/11/21 09:26 AM |
| 1 | The wasted timeMy problem is more that I don‘t know anymore what was real in the past. I know it actually doesn‘t matter. And still I didn‘t yet overcome the anger about her repainting the past. It‘s as all I had was never real and that can still piss me off. Guess, I‘ll be in a good place once I managed to overcome that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/11/21 01:09 PM |
| 1 | Well it happened just like you guys said it would!Took her 3 years and innumerable hoops thru which I jumped in order to leave. As I kept jumping rhrough the visible hoops, she produced the invisible ones which I should have guessed properly. What an idiot I was to do the pick-me dance for whole three years! | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/11/21 02:36 PM |
| 1 | Well it happened just like you guys said it would!I‘m on the same level income-wise and have three kids with her. I‘m wiring more to her than other households earn, but still… I save / waste more than I ever did before. So glad to earn well as in a normal job, I‘d be screwed financially. Yeah, it hurts to hand over substantial amounts. Still hurts more on the other end of the spectrum. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/11/21 12:23 PM |
| 7 | Why do we have to be enemies?Together for 20 years, married 11. With us, it's me that is being difficult. Reason: I'm still fucking disappointed in her even though it was not a bad story compared to many others. I'm not as difficult as your XW seems to be, but almost. I've been hurt and I'm simply not there yet where I can let the hurt go. So, walls are up anytime I have to interact. She tries to be nice, but I just can't reciprocate yet (I'm not being nasty, however, just siberian cold). | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/11/21 01:31 PM |
| 2 | Could use people's positive vibes and encouragement today.With me it took about 8-9 months to get out of the immediate crisis and the rollercoaster. Still not completely through 2 yrs later, but so much better. Hang in there. It will get better, slowly. And be nixe to yourself. It is indeed a mindblowing experience and you have the right to the rollercoaster. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/10/21 12:35 PM |

| 2 | Advice - winning her back.You are trying to win her back which most probably won‘t be succesful. You‘d rather plan your life after her than plan for the improbable. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/10/21 09:07 AM |
| 1 | How did you cope with not seeing your children 24/7Which is a funny thing as I thought at the time of Jesus there were temples and not churches. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/10/21 02:02 PM |
| 2 | Coping without knowing the full truth, needing some help badly.Of course there was at least something. You know yourself that basically it doesn't matter what exactly. It's just the brain that won't stop. If I knew how to stop my brain I'd give you advice. Unfortunately, I'm not too good on stopping that either. Thus: just don't snoop. It will not make anything better and stuff will come out sooner or later anyway. Better in a way that doesn't make you self-conscious in the future. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/09/21 09:31 AM |
| 7 | Snooping on ex, resisting the urge?Most probably there was and certainly it doesn't matter much now. You will most probably find out anyway, so try to focus on yourself. She's in the past. Leave her there. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/09/21 02:53 PM |

I am not sure how you can truly remain part of their lives if you‘re not around thru most of it? For me, the idea to just being able to visit the kids every now and then sure‘d have had me on the warpath. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/09/21 01:37 PM |

| 3 | I'm stuck in a toxic relationship. I dont know what to do.You do know what to do though, you're just not completely there yet. The situation is unacceptable as you describe it and needs to change. Changes, however, even after counseling, are not happening. So, either you accept that this is and will remain to be your life or you get out. And getting out seems best for all as nobody in your story seems to happy as it is. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/08/21 09:23 AM |
| 6 | Separation starts todayAnger is part of the process. Just try to remain grey rock with her. The emotions are yours and it is most probably not productive showing these to her. The dissolution of the marriage is business and needs that mindset. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/08/21 12:22 PM |
| 5 | Separation starts todayHow bad it‘ll be depends on many factors I guess. Until the day she told me she wants a separation I was convinced that we will spend our lives together, even though I knew that we were going through a difficult patch. 20 years, 3 kids, a house… a large part of the life as I knew it changed in a very short time. If you‘re hurting remind yourself that such an amount of loss needs to hurt, that‘s not just a little stumble, it‘s a fundamental change in life. It might be less intense if you already … | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/08/21 10:53 AM |

My XW was indeed no too bad, but even so she did things where I am just scratching my head and wonder WTF went through hers. Nothing too dramatic, but to ask the kids with whom they want to live without telling me (the MIL told me) and confusing the kids with questions where they don‘t have any real influence (bc they‘re too young and my job … | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/08/21 09:13 AM |

In Europe you don‘t need Harvard to start a career, you go there for an EMBA that‘s hopefully paid for by the employer once your career gets going. Of course it doesn‘t hurt either. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/08/21 06:36 PM |

(Also, with all the anger I have about her leaving, I have to admit that she is quite reasonable usually. It‘s none of my worries that she‘d shorthand the kids for herself) I am lucky to not have a „normal“ job. At least money was not a worry in the whole process. It‘s hell as it is, if financial worries add to the mix… that‘s a whole other level I believe. I lack nothing and I don‘t spend much so that I am able to save … | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/08/21 08:57 AM |

| 1 | Help me grey rock....Yes, she didn‘t ask a question as many here rightly say. Would you consider a swap of another holiday with Christmas? If yes, „I could imagine to swap“ If not, „I prefer to remain with the agreement“ To me, grey rock doesn‘t mean to show no flexibility re kids, but not to react should she be out to look for strive. But, as my ex is not one that falls under the total dragon category, but is indeed quite reasonable, I may be naive. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/08/21 07:31 AM |

| 1 | My son wants to go homeYeah. I tried very much to show them that our new appartment is our home too. The kids have a second home. But they shall not be visiting me, bit gome home to me. But that is of course far easier done in my case where they‘re 3-4 nights per week with me than in OPs case. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/07/21 02:37 PM |

In my country, women get more degrees also. But many women with degrees don‘t actually work on the job, but become part-time SAHM which of course impacts earning potential.

The proposal is such that you‘d be almost the only real parent on a day-to-day basis. I see what you mean, but think you‘d raise your kids far more than she. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/03/21 01:26 PM |
| 4 | Conditional LoveI have an exec job, so, nice home, nuff money, no worries, but the 10hrs was the normal working day and at times they were longer. When I came home, after dinner I usually brushed my kids' teeth and put them into bed. Often I was tired and still in the work-tunnel of my mind, so I didn't come home and was all the time 100% focused on the kids. This was one item on the list of my inadequacies. I am wondering whether she manages to give them 100% of herself after coming home from work now (as she … | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/03/21 10:02 AM |
| 5 | What 50-50 coparenting is like?Women gaslight men into thinking they aren't a good parent throughout the marriage I wouldn't want to generalize that, but yes, some of that was the case with me. "You are not the Dad I expected you to be". Goddam that hurt. This because I am not Mr. Adventure-Dad having tons of experiences with the kids and always on the road with them. But I am there for them. Always. She tended to get emotional and yell at the kids. I tried to calm her down, saying that this ain't good, but we're just human a… | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/03/21 02:29 PM |
| 3 | Divorce alcoholic wifeStrange how one can come to realize how fear has been driving more than one ever believed possible. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/02/21 07:01 PM |
| 2 | PerspectiveATM I am not so certain whether I ever want a committed relationship again. I was wondering whether it‘d be only bad for the kids if they saw me in a lifestyle without such committments. Maybe, they‘ll be more realistic about chances of a marriage than I was based on my story so far. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/02/21 02:57 PM |
| 1 | A good follow up story Post Divorce that I wanted to share with everyone as I’m 2 years out still dealing with the scarsI am glad to live in a country where 80k in savings isn't considered enough to warrant any amount of gold-digging. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/02/21 11:48 AM |
| 1 | She asked to talkFunny enough, just today I went on a 1.5hrs walk with her. Felt triggered by her asking for the chat and that it won‘t leave me till it happens, so, I asked yesterday for today. I think it was helpful. We did not go into too much details about the past. But, as both have come out of their immediate emotional crisis we were able to see each other again as persons. Which helped as a prelim. Conclusion, to see that she doesn‘t really se the evil-bad-boring-manipulative-materialistic person in me I … | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/21 06:47 PM |
| 3 | We agreed to go to counseling..Reading thru that I got the impression you‘d profit by some time alone. I also thought having no sex is terrible. Nowadays, I would still like to have sex, but I am not up to perform the pick-me dance in any form. I don‘t NEED no woman anymore. Glad to have one again eventually or not. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/02/21 07:00 AM |
| 6 | My ex-wife is a parasite, sucking the joy and time out of my lifePlease, there‘re former presidents that‘ve done worse. Also, weed is legal in enviable places. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/02/21 05:40 PM |
| 1 | My wife has tried repeatedly to get me kicked out... and it looks like she might finally succeed (rant)What I don‘t get from a legal perspective (not US) why repeated stunts in that form dragging a person into the mud cannot be considered defamation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/02/21 09:29 AM |
| 1 | She asked to talkEA is an emotional affair; yeah, there‘s a lingo here:) Life happened. I wasn‘t and still am not perfect and she felt not supported enough I guess, built up resentment, got distant, I chased which is NOT the thing to do. That also happens on the high-end as I still consider myself a catch. May be similar there as well. while each case is unique, many are eerily similar stories. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/02/21 07:17 PM |
| 2 | She asked to talkThat sounds reasonable: not discuss the past, but rather the future. We can coparent. We are in contact often we just refrain from anything personal. I don't even ask her how she's doing... Strange as it sounds, these are friendly calls. Like with a coworker you actually like, but don't want to share personals. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/02/21 04:09 PM |
| 1 | She asked to talkwell that sounds special regarding the 20k. I understand you and most probably would be similar if she had cheated! | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/02/21 03:59 PM |
| 5 | Married for 3 weeks. She left. Now wants alimony and accusing me of rape.Lawyer up and go to war. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/02/21 07:28 AM |
| 2 | A question a few years outYou‘re most probably right in regards to her having wanted out, it‘s a whole different question whether the answer to that really helps. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/02/21 06:22 PM |
