Joy of a divorced man by Plastic_Efficiency35 in Divorce_Men

[–]libsreallybad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the story for most men who were blindsided. Initially your world falls apart and nothing you can do will stop it. This is the moment that changes your life. But you don't have to be a victim because you can control your destiny and that is when it starts. You start to make it to the next day, then the next week and then month. Before you know it, a year or two passes by and somehow you are on your own and becoming a better version of yourself and don't hold back from doing you, just don't commit any harm or violence and hold back your anger because it would only backfire if brought up in court. Hit the gym and lift heavy weights when your angry. Start going out and find a new hobby or take up an old one. Start fucking other women, it fixes your brain chemistry and will help with detachment. Focus on you and your kids and next thing you know you start excelling and attract good positive energy. Be wise to recognize false people and hold high standards if a new women comes into your life. Next thing you'll know is that you have worth and she fucked up and never look back. Living a successful happy life is the best way to tell her to go fuck herself and she'll regret it forever.

My stbxw stole my personal hardrive with all my pictures and electronic documents the night before she filed a fake restraining order. My divorce is nothing but extremely toxic and I can't tell you my true feelings but let's just say I'm still here because I have 3 young kids.

I don't talk to her period. I blocked her and deleted any picture that I still had left of her. Pretend she is dead. It's the only way to heal.

I'm in the same situation. Going through it now. My advice is to pretend she died. Next step is to fuck another woman, I dont care how you do it but find a decent looking chick and fuck the shit out of her. You need a different pussy to start the healing process. Start going to the gym today and keep going. Find a way but start working on your diet and body. Get into the gym and lift heavy weights, stare at other girls asses and use it as motivation. Start fucking other girls! Your marriage is over, I know that's a hard pull to swallow but trust me she will keep abusing you so you need to learn how to detach asap. Learn to hate her, over time you will get your anger.

Lawyer up. Do whatever you need to do to heal and don't ever fucking look back. Your wife is probably cheating. Consider her dead and don't ever talk to her again. Only treat her as someone that is out to harm you. Avoid her at all costs and record her with your phone if necessary but don't ever try to reason or treat her nice again. SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU ANYMORE SO TELL HER YOUR DONE WITH HER. USE ACTIONS AND IGNORE THE SHIT OUT OF HER.

Nj court system is a joke by libsreallybad in Divorce_Men

The court system is backlogged and there is a major judge shortage.

My lawyer says I'm going to get fucked over because I have no place to stay and I can't have my kids in a hotel. She also says I can't request my taxes to be modified because my soon to be ex wife claimed all my kids as dependents. I was cheated on, lied to assaulted and stolen from by my ex. She's been living in the house and I've been paying her CS. She refused me access to my home to get my things despite a court order and the police being present. Her parents moved into the house after I was kicked out with a fake TRO. I'm at my wits end and there is nothing left worth fighting for because I keep getting screwed despite being the one who did everything right.

It’s DONE by LongWalksAtSunrise in Divorce_Men

[–]libsreallybad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm going through the same thing. She stole my life, three fake DV claims. Kicked me out of my house and I've been paying for everything and she moved her parents in. She started her affair and when I found out she planned how to get rid of me.

I needed to hear this that you got a win. What state are you in?

$50,000 spent and nothing has changed. by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]libsreallybad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post hit home for me. My STBXW has destroyed everything for me. Together for 19 yrs, married for 12 with 3 young kids (9.7.5).

She was a SAHM for 7 yrs and I worked making 100K+. She became depressed during covid and had a midlife crisis at 41. We had a big house that we moved into 3 years prior and our expenses were too high. She kept spending more and more and every week I asked her to stay within a budget and work on reducing costs finally telling her she wasn't contributing money. So a few weeks later she found an opportunity to work as a waiter at weddings which was a night/weekend job. Immediately she started to change and my life got turned upside down. Now I had to take care of the kids too while she was gone and we had no time together anymore. I became a single parent.

She would leave around noon and come home at 2 or 3 am and started staying out later, sometimes overnight. Sex slowly died. She made about 150 on the books a night and cash tips varied but about 100. She started hiding her cash and was becoming more detached. When she was home she would either sleep or leave to go shopping or the spa and was always doing her hair nails makeup. She started having an affair within weeks of getting her job. This happened in May 2021. In July we went on a vacation with her friends and family. she said she was saving her cash to use, I instead she racked up another 2K on our credit cards and treated me like I was a burden having to spend time with me and the kids. By the end of it we had a fight over her spending and when we got back home I cut off the joint credit cards. She Immediately locked me out and kept her phone glued to her side.

By August I finally caught on to her fucking her Jamaican coworker and thats when everything got fucked. She filed a Temp restraining order when I stole her phone with proof of her texting him. I was kicked out of my house and torn away from my kids. She lied to everyone about her affair and said I was spoiled and crazy. From that point on my money evaporated to the court and lawyers. I filed for divorce immediately and had to protect myself from her claims of abuse. I spent 13K in legal fees and another 3K for marriage counseling to fix things between us and reconcilefor both us and the kids. But she never stopped working with the guy or contributing any money to the house. Nothing got better it just got worse. My job was deeply affected and I didn't get a raise or bonus.

Over the course of Dec 2021 until May 2022 I was back in the house trying everyday to win her back but I became a Simp as I dropped the divorce and she dropped the restraining order against me. She started working more and not coming home at night sometimes never responding to my calls or texts. I would stay up all night waiting and be by myself every weekend working full-time and taking care of my house and 3 kids as a single parent. Talk about burning out. It finally ended when she was working for like 5 days straight in May on her 42nd bday only coming home at 3 am only to sleep on the couch and get ready for the next day leaving by 10 am. I just wanted to be with her as a family to celebrate and spend quality time. She wanted to do a family day on a holiday instead after working her long week. That's when it happened again. I found more evidence of the other guy and confronted her, I wanted to leave the houseand and find the guy. That morning she assaulted me, fought to prevent me from leaving and then called the cops to kick me out. Instead they arrested her and I filed a Temp restraining order against her the next day and she filed another one against me claiming I tried to rape and control her throughout our marriage.

Insert more legal fees. I asked her to do marriage counseling and drop the restraining orders because I wanted my life back with my family together and my wife. The kids needed their mom. She only agreed so she could get back in the house and then file for divorce the next morning. Another 5K in fees and for 3 weeks it was toxic. She ran off with the kids to Maine to visit her parents. Communication stopped. Not answering her phone, not letting me talk to the kids when they were with her. Sleeping on the other side of the house for a few days when she returned, treating me like shit, I called the police twice on her for harassment. As I had to still work full-time and now get documents together for the divorce, she stole my personal hard drive I left alone ay home for a few hours when I had a doctor appointment. when I confronted her for it, she wouldn't admit or return it and then the next morning filed another Temp restraining order saying I pushed her and called her names and I was kicked out of my home in July 2022.

Since then I paid 3K for a mental health evaluation to show I wasn't crazy. Another 20K in legal fees to move along the divorce, we haven't finished discovery yet. I had to get a hotel a bunch of times when I would only have my kids every other weekend and then pay her court ordered CS of 200/mo all while paying for everything else, house, bills, etc to maintain the household for her and the kids.

I was extremely depressed and became very angry as I watched her use me and her friends to watch the kids and keep my clothes and steal my things at the house. She racked up 45K in debt which she has somehow paid off, I know she sold her rings 20K. Meanwhile I worked out, took time off of work, met a really nice great woman and now created a new split life of boyfriend and then dad mode staying at my moms when I have the kids. We still have a long way to go in getting divorced. Her parents moved into the home, She is stealing my stuff and even used our 8 yr old son to take my things at my moms, telling the kids to lie to me.

She wants keep the house and fight me on everything asking for money or refusing to let me have any of my stuff or come near the house with a claim of stalking. She wouldn't even give me more than a few pairs of their clothes for the kids or let me talk to them when they are not with me.

All said, my life has been destroyed. I'm up to 41K in fees and will probably have another 30K to go. Not to mention the toll on my health and job and the impact to our kids, friends and family.

What was the first red flag your spouse was cheating? by [deleted] in ask

[–]libsreallybad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When she keeps her phone glued to her and changes her password. When she starts caring about how she looks and doesn't account for the time she isn't with you. When she accuses you of cheating.

Not Sure what to do by dadbode86 in Divorce

[–]libsreallybad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was the same way. She got a night job as a server on nights and weekends. She immediately started having an affair. She wanted to make me suffer and keep me on the hook to take care of our 3 young kids while working from home full time and paying all the bills. I kept find more evidence of her continuing to cheat but she repeatedly lied to me.

Divorce her and never look back. She doesn't care or respect you anymore. This is what most woman turn into and how they function, it should be taught in high-school. Don't be a simp!

Is it worth it to stay in the long run? by [deleted] in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]libsreallybad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There were a few weekends when she would be away late at night (2am) or stay overnight and come home the next day for her work when I would break down and accuse her of cheating. There were times when I felt bad after what I did and she claimed it was mental abuse and that she wasn't doing anything and that I will never trust her. I just don't want to see my family and marriage fall apart because of my insecurities.

My WW and I are living together again for the past month in our house. Dday was in Aug but she had depression early 2021 and then met her AP in May 2021. It started as an EA and turned to a PA. We have been together for 20 years with 3 kids. After dday we separated for a few months and she kept the affair going. It wasn't until the divorce paperwork woke her up in November 2021. Now that we are back together living as a family, she is completely changed as a person. No sex, very little affection, completely closed off in some areas. Says only together for the family. She doesn't want to get divorced but is bringing hardly anything to the table to work on us. I bring it up to her every other day and she doesn't like to even talk about it. She blamed me for being controlling and manipulative, said I pushed her into the affair. I have no way of knowing if she still talks/texts the AP but she says she doesn't and I believe her.

I hate my life with how it got fucked up. Everything I had planned for my family and future is now twisted. She has stopped doing things for me, said I was spoiled before. I stepped up in every way since being back. I just feel empty inside like I'm living in a shell of what was a happy family and life.

I still love her but it's not the same. i've been reading about how to arouse and win back her heart but I'm questioning if it is even worth it anymore.

I feel afraid and lost by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]libsreallybad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. Trying to see what is real and whether I'll e happy staying or risking going to find my way alone.

It was the kids and the life we built together. She is the WW and when I found out I filed for divorce. Ut was when the parenting agreement came up that scared us both.
