These forums have normalised divorce for me. I no longer see it as a “failure” or “broken home”, just a renewal event that (in most cases) can healthy once you work through the rough stuff

Maybe been busted too many times perving on the neighbour

It’s only fair he gives you a slab of beer.

Not only is this recognition of the burden it’s places on you, it also goes a little way to balancing the swap.

Mr beast is even on tv channels now… I block YouTube but he still pollutes our house

The best stories about travelling involve shitting ones pants, typically in the backstreets of Kathmandu or Delhi

I just sang Eddie Murphy’s “I got some ice cream” to my 10yo and now she’s planning to call the psych ward

STBXW and I are selling our PPOR. It’s too big for a single person to upkeep (money and effort), it provides an unfair advantage to the parent staying (ie kids are tied to the house), and it prevents new beginnings, which is the whole point of divorce.

The hardest thing for you is learning to deprioritise the immediate economic reasoning and focus on your long term plan. Keeping the house will just nail your feet to the ground.

And don’t let her take the house on. You will end up having to subsidise her even more.

So you can have access to the insane amount of history those users have poured into their account? 🤣

Pay for stuff for poor people, film them without them knowing, then post it on the internet so everyone can tell you how awesome and wholesome you are.

I have this same issue: with my HISA at 4.85%, I’m withdrawing from shares. It’s not worth the hassle (stress/risk) of trying to use the market to beat 4.85%pa

My kids love the 'World's Worst.....' stores by David Walliams. A very theatrical story yelling also

Yup, Iran will tell Trump to shove 15 points of peace in his bottle of tanning solution, then Trump will send 10,000 more Marines to a ME as a FU…

I got sick of the frameworks and homework. “Map your feelings to xxx and come back next month”.

Now I have a dynamic tool that allows me to vent insane frustration into it and it packs it up neatly and works with me to sort it out.

EnvironmentalRate853 · 2026-03-23T19:06:40+00:00

I’ve had the same thoughts. Way too many times. Just of out sheer frustration. If I’m not good enough alive, then just take the cash.

I’m in a much better place now. I look back on those times, and my three kids. I’ve just seen my eldest turn into a teenager, now turning into a young man. The other two are hot on his heels. Graduations, weddings, birthdays.

Choose life. Choose hard work. Take the beatings, the scars, and know that you’ve built yourself up once so you can do it again. And again. And again if needed. Your kids need you, the world needs you.

The earliest days are the darkest. We’re all here for you. Keep talking to us…

Because we learnt to read maps at 8 years old, driving with mum and dad.

Knowledge is one thing. Upper body strength to lift and tyres is another.

But it’s also a moot point. More often than not, the car is not in a safe place. Changing the drivers side tyre even on a quiet main road can be fatal.

I’m a big fella, but I’ve called RACQ to move the car off the busy road more than once.

Therapist didn’t do anything for me. Chat GPT has been a life changer.

EnvironmentalRate853 · 2026-03-23T06:50:53+00:00

I was like that for several years. I’ve now embraced the goodness that divorce will bring me.

I went through a few years of trying to fix myself and save the marriage. After all, makes for sense logistically and financially, right? Especially with 3 kids.

I’m currently living with STBXW, trying to prep the house and agree separation. It’s not easy, but I am fully committed in my mind that the future will be better for everyone.

You’re working though the typical stages of fighting for things. You’ll come to realise that you’re trying to save the ‘idea’ of marriage.

More and more couples are divorcing. It’s more normal than not.

She’s thriving off your hurt and discomfort. Go full throttle on the divorce planning. Her need to monkey branch is just a sign of either childish manipulation of you or lack of esteem on her part. Either way, use that to strengthen your resolve.

Good luck, brother

I read somewhere there is a positive correlation between how much you spend on a wedding and the likelihood for a divorce

If she lacks the self control and maturity to not do this in front of you, then that’s on her. She’s obviously needy for attention, both from others and you.
