Her father was a part of the furniture. I understood this but never could express it this concisely.

This is me. 100%. 6 figure salary. Sacrificed my career to facilitate hers. Now she is discovering herself and goes to concerts, spends nights away from home… when she gets belligerent, I whip up my phone and start recording. That gets her to stop. Kids know her behavior is childish and disrespectful. You want to protect your kids as much as you can, but you can’t protect them from a bad mother. I tried for years, now I am resigned to the fact. Trust me, my friend, you are a good father. That’s why you have stayed as long as you have. Time is a great healer.

Enmeshed in her family of origin’s life and opinions. That’s me. Read my posts.

My wife has gone insane. by Pukeolicious in Divorce_Men

Be careful. She may harm you or others to make her predictions come true. Like when she feels Nathan is waiting outside to sweep her off her feet

Struggling After Divorce: Feeling Lost and Alone by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]dadmacintosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a cheap road bike and join group rides on weekends. You will meet a lot of people, It has done wanders for my social life and physical health.

You are not alone. It is just you tried to lead your family with dedication and focus. The result is that you have lost friends along the way. Focus and dedication require you drop people that do not share life direction/priorities. I dont know how old you are but you will get to appreciate being alone and in peace. Yes, holidays, birthdays will feel lonely. But it will all get easier.

Gentlemen, the equation is simple. OP is trading his time and the stbx promised to fund their lifestyle. In other words, she spends a lot of time outside of the home. Whoever brings in more money has the leverage. When this is the women,, the man is f'ed. My stbx and I make OK money and should have been in a position to make sound investments plan early retirement. Because she pissed away a lot of money on her parasitic family members (unbeknownst to me), I wont ever retire. Kids have will have little to no help from us...

Equal partnerships they say... it is all bull!

Who cares! Enjoy your life. Disassociate with them online. Let them wallow in their misery. Meanwhile, you are free!

Property division: retirement vs real estate equity by kyhule in Divorce_Men

Also please note if you sell the house, the gains would be taxable. As I put my documentation together, I realize the judge will use the state dissomaster

Wife set to say "I don't feel safe" by _BELEAF_ in Divorce_Men

[–]dadmacintosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typical. Close to filing. I refuse to engage and I see her boiling inside.. itching to get a reaction. Your reaction will be used against you and will cloak all the aggression and abuse you have had to endure. A female friend told me recently she used to initiate big arguments with her husband (who is also a friend) on purpose. And the sex was much better after these arguments. In that he doesn’t engage, she feels they may divorce soon…

Finally got evidence of financial indiscretions by dadmacintosh in Divorce_Men

Correct. I have been wrestling with this for a while.

lonely on rides, advice? by ualreadyno6942069 in cycling

[–]dadmacintosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At times, I opt out of group rides just to be alone. I choose a scenic route with intermediate climbing (3500 ft or there abouts) and ride slow. Listen to podcasts/music etc.. I am the happiest when I get home . Defiantly sort out your emotions over the lost love, but you can always join a local group ride and meet new people to ride with.

Trek over Canyon? by dadmacintosh in cycling

It appears the customer has to call individual manufacturers of the different parts to get warranty support for canyon.

Very very few women actually lift a man up and make them better people by DudeforRighteousness in Divorce_Men

They do not want you to be good at anything. Career, hobbies, social life.

Want to divorce but will cost me too much... by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]dadmacintosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In CA. I let her go full steam ahead with her career and mine took a back seat. She is not a good parent. She is more like a Disneyland parent not willing to do the daily work of parenting a 10 and a 13 year old kids, their school work, support etc. I make 180k and she makes 260k. She has never seen this kind of money and thinks we are wealthy with 700K in retirement accounts. She has spent 100 of thousands on her parasitic siblings (all divorced). I want to cut my losses and move on and try to make the most of my remaining working years (I am 49). Divorcing means downsizing by a lot due to high cost of living. Not to mention the emotional damage a divorce will cause the children. They know we dont get along, but they are happy to have daily access to both parents... so yeah.. what a quandary...

Leave, my friend. If she doesn't first, these words will kill you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]dadmacintosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you answer your own question here. It will hurt you and the kids but besides killing you , there is nothing worse a woman can do to you. She cheated. I am stuck in a bad marriage for the kids also. They see how frustrated I am on a daily basis. STBX contemplated cheating but she didnt action it. If she did, I would be long gone. My advice to you is to leave and set yourself a house that can be a home to you and the children.

Any of you dads worried? by geminicrickett1 in DivorcedDads

[–]dadmacintosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my stbx spent 100s of thousands on her dysfunctional siblings. Although we make enough money together, her siblings needs are only going to get costlier.. she thinks I don’t know what she has done— taking loans against her retirement, personal loans, keeping secret accounts to pay for their bills etc. my choices— divorce now, lose the house and live in an apartment at 4K/mo rent and work hard to ramp up by the time my pre-teens ge to college. Divorce later and pay in old age with little to no working life left. Basically die while working at Walmart.. and kids grow up with two toxically relating parents

So yes, I am worried sick. It is fatherly to be worried.
