| 5 | STBX found my recent Text messages with woman she hatesIt's still ending. Her thoughts and feelings on what you do now stopped mattering when you split up. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/24 05:56 PM |
| 2 | Give in to divorce?The thing with divorce is that it doesn't matter if both people want it. It only takes one for it to happen and it sounds like she does. What you need to do now is start worrying about you and your future. Don't worry about making things fair. Don't worry about her future. The person you are getting divorced from is throwing away your entire family life and everything you've ever worked for. You're just watching out for yourself because this person obviously isn't. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/24 05:54 PM |
| 9 | STBX found my recent Text messages with woman she hatesNo, your ex who ended things with doesn't like the woman you're involved with now. Oh well. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/24 05:46 PM |
| 1 | The depths that my STBX goes to, to avoid taking any accountability for her actions… it’s actually pretty insane, and has pushed me to lose absolutely all respect for her.My wife would constantly make jokes about dumb stuff that I'd done. At one point when things were falling apart, she started going on about a dumb joke where I said I was the smart because I got a better grade on a test in college. We were in our mid 40s and she was still upset because I made a joke about doing better on a test. That's it. That's the one time where I said something about being smarter than her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/24 05:20 PM |
| 1 | The depths that my STBX goes to, to avoid taking any accountability for her actions… it’s actually pretty insane, and has pushed me to lose absolutely all respect for her.Yeah, she's not even saying that she did anything wrong. The entire problem is you and your feelings. There's no issue at all with who or what caused those feelings. It's entirely you. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/24 05:14 PM |
| 6 | What should I be feeling right now?You should be feeling whatever you're feeling. This is no right or wrong way to do this. You do what you gotta do to make it through the day. | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/07/24 12:04 AM |
| 1 | It's INSANE that even in male-dominated forums, the shortcomings of modern femininity, like a lack of accountability and toxicity towards men, are often still blamed on men. This seems to be one of the few places where such issues can logically be discussed..Loud and clear, my friend | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/07/24 06:54 AM |
| 2 | It's INSANE that even in male-dominated forums, the shortcomings of modern femininity, like a lack of accountability and toxicity towards men, are often still blamed on men. This seems to be one of the few places where such issues can logically be discussed..Want to hear the horrible thing that I said that she carried around for over 20 years? We met in college. We were engaged at this point too. At one point we were taking this economics class. It was one of those classes that everybody had to take and almost nobody ever did good in it. The professor would actually tell people who had very many questions to just go to the study groups that his grad students ran for people in that class. For some reason, I just had a knack for all that and could und… | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/07/24 04:30 AM |

| 4 | It's INSANE that even in male-dominated forums, the shortcomings of modern femininity, like a lack of accountability and toxicity towards men, are often still blamed on men. This seems to be one of the few places where such issues can logically be discussed..She feels people are out to get her, attacking her laughing at her. Why does she think this? Because she laughs at others, attacks others, and judges others. So, of course, they must do the same to her. When things were falling apart with my ex, she brought up some stupid joke that I obviously didn't mean about being smarter than her. In over 20 years, that's the one time I ever did something like that and she held onto it for that long. This is the same woman who would make jokes about me doing… | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/07/24 10:52 PM |

This seems to be one of the few places where such issues can logically be discussed..My ex chose to flat out lie to me multiple times about a guy she worked with and how much those two were doing outside of work. I got mad when I found out about it and she chose to file for divorce. Those were her choices that I literally begged her to make but she did anyway knowing how much it would wreck me. She chose to cut off almost all contact and never checked on me once when she said she needed time alone to think. She did, however, chose to call him multiple times during that period.

| 3 | She has HIVBecause it's very standard practice to test pretty much every single pregnant woman for that, even back then. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/07/24 11:39 PM |
| 4 | She has HIVThere's a saying in the medical field. "Don't go chasing zebras." In other words, if you hear hoof beats and snorting, it's probably a horse. The simplest and easiest option is usually the right one, even if there are things that are a little off. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/07/24 11:24 PM |

You have just won the award for the most absurd thing I've ever read on here. Why would she ever even consider doing that? Even hinting at that is insanely pointless. Not only that but those things have been proven again and again to be completely worthless because the results can be faked so incredibly easy.

| 3 | Narcissism seems to be the new buzzword today. Did or are you dealing with that in your present or past divorce?Women tend to consume social media more than men, so they are being influenced by these forces. While women may spend MORE time on social media, men do too. That means we are being influenced too, even if it is to a lesser degree. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/07/24 11:51 PM |
| 9 | Narcissism seems to be the new buzzword today. Did or are you dealing with that in your present or past divorce?That term gets thrown around by men and women alike. It's gotten to the point that anytime someone does something for themselves and not the other person, they get labeled that and men do it too. Yes, we all have narcissistic qualities. Everyone does. That's part of human nature. Just because you have some of those qualities, that doesn't mean you are one. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/07/24 11:49 PM |
| 2 | Tough day todayAny downvotes weren't from me and I have no clue where they came from or why. As for songs and how they hit you, don't even get me started. Without getting into long and boring details, I've got a mental condition (I say condition and not disorder because nobody who has it ever wants it to go away) that makes music hit me in ways you can't even imagine. My brain is literally physically wired differently than other people's. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/07/24 08:32 AM |

| 1 | Tough day todayI'm not making a single excuse and fully admit my mistakes where I've made them. I'm only human and I'm a goddamned man. I may cry some, but those times are coming less and less. I'm to the point that I'm pissed off and working to make the changes that need to be made in myself. I know the life that I want and I'm working to do what I need to do so I can build it for me, not someone else. Thanks again brother!!! | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/07/24 07:54 AM |

The rest of us, not so much. The woman you married is gone. Nobody ever divorces the person they married. She's been replaced with someone you can't recognize. That sucks.

At the very least, have one look over your stuff for you to make sure you're getting a fair deal. As nice as she may be right now, she's looking out for her best interests, not yours.

Take all the time and effort you put into the relationship and put it into you. Seriously, if she cared about you half as much as you care about her then she wouldn't be dating someone right in front of you. Being angry about that is perfectly normal. Anger is a gift.

| 2 | Sometimes you win oneAnd so are you. This is a post about a man coming through their divorce and doing well at it. I wasn't doing it to brag. I was doing it to give the other men on here a positive story because I loved reading those when I was newly separated and headed towards divorce. Every single one of your comments has been complete bullshit about how bad I am. Shut the fuck up and go spew your bullshit somewhere else. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 03:18 AM |

Her older brother has 3 kids and he was the same way with them. 2 of them are in jail and I have no clue how the third isn't. I watched them and how they turned out. I didn't want my kids to end up the same way. Not going to school? "Well he's upset today." One of my friends was crashing at our place after a concert and the kid stole their pain pills.

They fight for custody as much as they do because they want their kids in their lives but the courts so often favor the mom so stop playing the victim when you get exactly what you want.

| 9 | Sometimes you win oneAlso, sometimes you just have to let your kids make their own mistakes. It's how they learn.

| 7 | Sometimes you win oneOnce my ex said she wanted to be my ex, I stopped caring about her. I'd carried that deadweight for way too long and she doesn't want my help.

| 1 | Dating a Divorced Single-Mom that has 100% custody of her Children...Not having red flags should be where you start, not a big selling point. Not having red flags is for when you need a car to get to work every day. Sure, it's not great or anything, but it'll get you there without any problems. A Toyota Carolla will perform that function just fine. You won't really be let down by it but you won't have any fun with it either. Go for the Lexus. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/24 12:31 AM |

| 2 | Would you date a woman who initiated her divorce?It's because we're afraid we'll end up in the same situation. Look, relationships are hard and you have to work to keep that spark alive as well as make a conscious effort to do so. Reading what you said, I wouldn't get serious with you because of fhe fear that I could be your best great guy friend. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/23 04:50 AM |

| 2 | First love and 16 Years of relationship. How can I move on?So let me get this straight, you re having.a bad time, your wife gets depressed.because you are not entertaining her any more and inatead of supporting you during tpur difficult time goes off to develop a relationship with another man. She may be all you've known but you deserve better than that, especially if you're doing work on yourself while she goes off to work on another man. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/04/23 06:46 PM |

| 3 | Advice so the soon to be ex wife birthday is Saturday. I keep on going back and forth of getting her something or not getting her something. What do you guys think?Back when we were just separated and she hadn't filed the 25 year anniversary of when we met came up and i sent her flowers to recognize the occasion. How'd it turn out? I spent $70 and nothing changed. She didn't even acknowledge them. If I'd just burned the money it would have at least kept me warm. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/03/23 08:31 PM |

There are things I actively dislike and things i may not like but I don't dislike either. If the person I'm with wants me to go do something I don't actively dislike but just don't don't love, I'll still probably go do it and enjoy myself anyway just because I like being around that person.
