I feel bad for those men. They went into an arrangement they thought was beneficial, and either because of reasons outside of their control, or in their control, they're no longer married and with time and introspection, they realized, perhaps too late, that it was a bad idea in the first place.

Maybe they got out clean? I have a friend who I was a witness on the marriage license, and a witness for the notary when he got his divorce agreement taken care of.

He pretty much surprised his wife, came up with his own agreement for splitting up money and such things, and told her this is the best she can get, and if she wants to fight it in court she'd get nothing. He was legally divorced a week later.

Some get out dirty. Fighting in court, kids fucked up and over, living in a shitty apartment as that's all he can afford, life generally miserable as he tries to pick his life back up when it broke into pieces. Few allies, no help, and fighting a war he never signed up for. My father asked me how to commit suicide when he got divorced. Who dumps that question on a coming-of-age kid?

And the money. Lord the money.

Young people today (most likely products of single mothers) will hopefully embrace some form of MGTOW and save their asses and never know the pain that husbands and fathers have gone through, as it's rare for a father to prep their children as to how horrible marriage can be.

You didn't know about it, but you lived through it.

So I raise my pilsner to you, divorced men, you have been through war.
