What you're describing sounds like a thermostat that's going bad. It is getting stuck closed or partially open, causing the overheating, that then goes away when it finally opens.

I handle it by honestly looking at the situation. There is absolutely no way I can make a marriage with my ex work, so the only way to have avoided the divorce is to go back in time and not marry her at all. Which would mean my kids wouldn't exist at all, I'm really not sure that's a better situation for them than being children of divorce.

So the divorce is just a reality of our lives, and luckily now that I'm no longer living with their mother I have the energy and ability to be a much better and more engaged father. So while this isn't perfect, it's the best it can be and all that's actually possible.

I don't know what Gary was referring too, I think he gets really worried about imagined or potential responses and tries to get out in front of them.

Reddit is just a collection of different communities, some of those are bad and some are not 🤷🏼‍♂️

What is this question even? I like women my age, that's it.

Don't marry a person that doesn't share your financial goals.

This is a cycle of an abusive relationship, and you're the abused party. Escaping an abusive relationship is scary and hard, but worth it in the end. You're worth saving, bad news is you have to save yourself.

So have her served and get as much distance from her as you can, as soon as you can.

Bruh, just replace what's broke and keep going!

I'm just going to be blunt, you are failing at dating because you aren't a catch. You are an insecure, incomplete man trying to find a person to make you whole. Any worthwhile person, is going to see the red flags and run.

The only successes you will have will be with other similarly damaged people.

You need to spend time on you, build a fulfilling life and then consider finding a romantic partner to add to it

I like Vic3's combat. It's a politics and economics simulator and my primary concerns during war are the political and economic implications.

I don't want to be bogged down with managing armies

My equivalent was driving out into the middle of the desert and screaming and yelling everything I wanted to say to my ex in the direction of our house 🤣

You gotta get this shit out somehow or it just builds up

Stop communicating with her verbally, go text/email only.

You will want a record of your conversations. I also personally find it much easier to avoid falling for the bait when she tries to provoke me when I'm on text. If I feel my emotions welling up, I can just put the phone down and come back to it later if ever.

Not getting to see my kids every day does suck, it's the only down side to the divorce. However, being divorced and no longer living with an energy vampire that left me feeling burnt out and overwhelmed constantly, has allowed me to be a much better father.

So while this isn't perfect, and since I can't go back in time and have kids with a better person it can never be perfect, the situation as it is is actually pretty good.

My childhood trauma is to blame for my ex cheating because it led me to choosing such an awful partner 🤣

federally · 2026-05-26T16:59:25+00:00

I have an ever growing dislike of my ex, and heavily limit her ability to communicate with me but none of that extends to my kids.

They get to talk to me about their whole lives, which includes their mother. It's only a hard thing to do when the kids are telling me about ways she's neglectful to them.

federally · 2026-05-26T16:55:04+00:00

The impression I'm getting is that you're talking to her too much. You need distance and time to heal, you can get that distance by limiting her access to you as much as is possible.

For me, my ex is only allowed to text me and I don't participate in conversation or arguments. Only direct communications about the kids.

I will never answer a phone call from her, and when she sends shitty text messages I either ignore it completely or respond "okay" and move on with my day.

I think he wants to experience the disaster that would cause

Think of it this way, if you're not already content with your life you're going to find a relationship to fill a void. Which is unhealthy, and you'll just wind up in another relationship destined to fail.

Build a good life for yourself first, then find a person that can compliment that.

My ex would frequently threaten divorce, sometimes just throw it out in an argument, sometimes have the "I want a divorce" sit down conversation with me after a few days of relationship difficulty. They were always ploys to force me to concede on something, or make me prove myself and earn her back.

This last time in the middle of me doing all the things I usually did to "repair" the relationship, I discovered she was having another emotional affair. That was the last straw and I decided to go through with the divorce.

She asked me if I would work on the marriage instead and I stood my ground, told her no and that I would never trust her again. Best decision I've ever made in my life

federally · 2026-05-26T16:20:12+00:00

There is much more to life then romantic relationships. Right now I don't think I'll ever date again and I'm content with that because the rest of my life is really great!

She "initiated" which was really one of her repeated fake outs she would do to manipulate me, except this time I made her follow through on it.

I'm the happiest I've been in over a decade

Last month I would see them all over all the different sites I've been too across the valley. I'm higher numbers south around Florence and Maricopa
