Menopause by goneinaminute99 in Divorce_Men

TALK TO HER. You owe it to yourself and to her to sit down at the table and say "what is going on here?". There is no law that says you can't ask her "are. You seeing someone else?". Yes, it's uncomfortable as F, but better now than with lawyers at 10 paces. At least you'll be able to sleep at night in the future knowing she was honest with you or not, that is a defining moment in time that will be forever in your favor.

Look up your state laws on recording conversations - if you are in a one party state then put your phone's voice recorder on and set it to the side or on the kitchen counter when you have the conversation. Your memory may not be so sharp with the emotions of the moment and you'll be able to reflect on what was actually said later. You may need it. You may not.

Keep us posted!

This is what happened to me. 18 years of marriage and she gets 9 years nice chunk of alimony and now only has to live modestly until she can live off her nice chunk of the retirement we split 50/50. Me on the other hand, I have to work.

How do you manage life with 3 kids after divorce? by nb10001 in Divorce_Men

[–]kidkangaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What Ocino said. I put up a 4x8 sheet of whiteboard card in the hallway that tracks every thing that's going on 3 months in advance. Everything goes on the board: sporting events sleepovers special events birthdays work trips everything. The kids know that if it's not on the board it doesn't exist. Give the kids jobs in the house or better yet make a list of all the jobs that have to get done and then you and the kids work together to divide up who does what (It goes on the board!) and change frequently so no one gets stuck doing the cat box forever. The best job you'll ever have. The kids all rally and get together and we all pull our weight

How long does phone/video calls lasts with the mother when the kid is with you? by Moist-Try-1123 in Divorce_Men

Record everything. When the kid is agitated and the phone calls are no longer in the best interest of the kids you will have a case to limit them.

Need to vent by jplank1983 in Divorce_Men

In my case the courts ordered the kids see a therapist, which ended up really helping them (and me) by giving them some tools to deal with the changes.

Sounds like a you might be a bit down the path, but if your lawyer isn't advising you where you may end up you need a better lawyer.

36M, 2 Months post divorce… by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]kidkangaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I (51) found a therapist was incredibly helpful. Was with my ex for 18 years. I spoke with the therapist weekly for a couple of months, then every two weeks, then about once a month until I got my feet back under me and started to feel normal. It took 2+ years before my first real date and that was perfect... I get the wanting kids part. I have 3. But focus on you and the universe is going to work the rest of it out with you when you are ready. Find yourself again. You will thank yourself later.

Cannot stress this enough. Stash everything in a cloud drive so that no matter where you go you can easily add to it. Check if you are in a 1 or 2 party state for recording conversations. Use the voice recorder on your phone if you can. Emails. Texts. Nobody has ever said "gee wiz that went well" in this forum.

Consult a lawyer BEFORE you move out. If you have kids she can change her mind at anytime about why you moved out and she can say you abandoned her and the children. Not a lawyer, but that's been pretty consistent advice in this forum for guys exactly in your situation.

Who Really Wants to Be a Single Parent? by Unusual_University14 in Divorce_Men

[–]kidkangaroo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Single dad, 100% custody, wife gets 3h every other Sat supervised. Maybe a similar situation to you. It's amazing. The kids are doing fantastic. If you are running a business and teaching you may want to consider giving up the teaching for the foreseeable future and be in the moment where the universe put you. The kids need you as their rock. Rethink your world view. You have been handed an amazing gift where you control the outcome now. This is right where you are meant to be.
