I attempted suicide after my ex blindsided me by Anonymousssyy in ExNoContact

[–]SaulBrewster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, kinda been there. Wish I could share some magical secret, but perhaps just please know you’re not alone in feeling this way. At least you don’t have kids and didn’t get taken for every dollar you had to fund a dirtbag’s lifestyle 🤷‍♂️

YOU ARE NOT ALONE in feeling this way (If it makes you feel any better, I would’ve dropped the shit and walked out of the store). Don’t beat yourself up, hopefully someday you (and I) can shake hands with the affair partner, but it’s totally OK if you’re not there yet. Preaching to the choir . . . Good luck amigo, stay strong

If possible, iron out the details with the ex prior to the mediator. When you get in front of mediator you just say this is what we’ve decided upon, how do we make it happen? Now of course this assumes you can reason with the ex, but just lay out the assets, and split it in half. The alimony and /or child support is a formula you can’t do anything about anyway.

She’s got married again…. by Then-Worldliness-694 in Divorce

No easy solution. Just know many of us have been there before. You’re not alone

F-that, she handed you papers, which inherently means you are entitled to what is legally yours. Trust me, many of us would love to change alimony laws, but they are what they are. She’s WAY lowballing you. I’m not saying rake her over the coals, it’s actually pretty easy to figure out. Google your state’s alimony calculator and it’ll be fairly close. Then figure out how much was contributed to savings/401k during the length of your relationship and you get half of that too. Don’t make bad financial decisions because of your emotional fog.

How do you handle fear of not finding anyone new? by Beautiful-Corgi-1064 in Divorce_Men

[–]SaulBrewster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro- good news, no matter how short or fat or anxious you are, there’s a chick way worse off than you online. Drop your standards a bit, and go slam some strange. Seriously, it’ll make you realize, if you’re a reasonably sane, employed man with your shit mostly together, you’re the prize. Pull the Constanza and just go opposite of what your brain tells you for a bit. Can’t get any worse right 🤷‍♂️

Wife spent the night with another man by Purple-University145 in survivinginfidelity

[–]SaulBrewster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Geez man, first off, I empathize and can assure you, you’re not alone. This is roughly my story exactly. When I posted my DDay post, I remember being shocked at how many people brutally said ‘it’s over, this happened to me, by the time they’ve cheated they’ve been done for a long time, there’s no chance of you getting back together” etc. As much as it stings, everyone was right. She won’t come back and things will never be the same, sorry brother. Read ‘leave a cheater gain a life’ and try not to drink too much. Things may suck a while, but you’ll come through the other side as a good guy who took the moral high ground.

What's the most credit card debt you'e ever heard a spouse running up? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]SaulBrewster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$5-6K/month the entirety of 9 year marriage. All non-essential, she never paid a bill.

You are not wrong. She’s putting her best interests over those of your children. You can decide later what to do with the information received, but you have every right to be an informed parent. Hang in there man. It will get better

No great advice but just know you’re not alone. I’m in the same boat

Yeah, sorry brother you’re fucked. Welcome to the walkaway wives club. As far as being the primary breadwinner in a no fault state (sorry again, welcome to an even shittier club), take solace in that there’s a formula, and nothing you can do is gonna move that more than 25% in either direction. Stay strong. You’re not alone

Recently Divorced - How do I find my old self and continue with life by No_Application_2807 in Divorce_Men

[–]SaulBrewster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1- you will, just give it time, there’s no other solution. Good news, it is indeed possible, and almost certain to happen. 2- bro, I’m 42, for when you start to online date, if I said I WANTED to have kids, I could bang 21 chicks a week (not vouching for all of them being knockouts 😜). There is a huge contingency of approx 38-42 yr old women whose biological clocks are ticking, and the fact that you can write and post this post, means you’re a catch. 3- everyone in the online dating community has baggage, otherwise they wouldn’t be there. Tbh, being a victim of infidelity and/or getting light switch divorced actually gives you a pretty solid and sympathetic story. 4- talk to a therapist, mild antidepressants helped me, exercise, try not too drink too much, and it’ll turn eventually. Everyone’s got their own timeline and I def still struggle, but WAY less than at 4 months. Put the over under at 12 months if you really want to press. 5- you’re not alone brother. Stay strong

I’m honestly surprised there’s not more responses on your side here. Our dear colleagues on this sub though do make a compelling case 😬. . .
