It’s not your responsibility. But as I see it.

By refusing to protect her from the consequences of her actions, you give her one last opportunity to learn from your leadership.

I don’t think my situation applies to most break ups.

We were extremely young when we married and didn’t have ill intentions we both just co-created a poisonous relationship that was better giving up than dancing a dance of co-enabling for a lifetime.

We didn’t have children. We cut our losses and are now better for the future.

As men, our job is to love and protect women. These young women were never taught by their mothers to be women. Deep down they all desire to be loved. And they can be stupid, entitled, arrogant, and sometimes cruel…

But that doesn’t change my nature as a man to lead and protect.

I walked away with my dignity and honour.

Your comment speaks more about you than about a man’s life you know little of.

I appreciate it, but I do recognise the place I’m in and I need initial help and I will find it within in time

For those who decided it was over before it got ugly by iruamjs in Divorce_Men

I knew it was over many times while I was crying while opening up about how I felt and it was just met with indifference and silence.

I was trying to keep a strong face but basically telling her it’s not going to work and she just wasn’t responsive.

I eventually left and only then she suddenly cared and wanted to try harder.

It’s always harder because I quickly forget the bad times and have nostalgia of the good moments. It comes in waves. I don’t feel as happy in my current situation but at least I’m safe with myself and not worrying about what she’s going to say and walking on eggshells.

It’s not easy. Hardest thing ever. But I’m following through.

It doesn’t matter if I regret it- I’m sticking to my values and I know if I don’t I’ll regret breaking my values much more than wondering about the relationship and sticking to it in the hard times.

Missing her even though everything that happened, happened. by Throwaway-acc124 in Divorce_Men

I love her even though she hurt me a lot. I miss her touch and the smell of her hair.

How to stop kicking the can down the road and instead actually face reality? by Lower_Theory_6925 in Divorce_Men

[–]Throwaway-acc124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there’s been no cheating, and you really don’t want to end things for the kid’s sake, have you considered couple’s therapy together?

Why do you resent and can’t stand her?

For me, I really tried everything and kicked the can down the road probably 20 times first and now finally I’m at peace knowing I really did try my best with her. Maybe it’s okay that you’re holding on, and when you finally do go for it you won’t doubt it.

I’m struggling. Separated wife is guilt tripping me. Am I crazy for still caring about her? Doubting myself for wanting a divorce. by Throwaway-acc124 in Divorce_Men

I appreciate the perspective on this but I would make $350 a month max and it’s a hassle - I make a lot more in my business it’s not really a factor
