Been through a divorce years ago and have never looked back. Marriage suits some people but definitely not for me.
Keen to know your experience, are you glad you did it or do you regret it?
Also happy for people to pm me if they want to keep it private

Not through it (yet) but I think about starting it every day
It all depends on the circumstances and if kids are involved. Whether one of the two has cheated, and so on.
In all cases, try to make it quick, keep it cool as the more drama you have the more it will cost you.
Most wives whose husbands leave them become resentful and try to exact a financial penalty on the husbands (ex husbands).
80% of men who get divorced end up with another woman in less than 2 years and 80% of them end up with a carbon copy of their ex wives!!!
Don't rush to hook up with a second wife too quickly.
_______stay on topic and we will all enjoy the thread______________
Single life is just wonderful
If you can have a good wife, it's good, otherwise just enjoy your single life
I'm divorced and married again later.
If it's not right, make the change. It's expensive, and sucks, but if the relationship does not make you and your wife happy, it's time to start the next chapter of your life.
In a Gynocentric Western country, if there are kids involved, the man loses like 99% of the time and she ends up keeping the house, cars, kids and dogs + ongoing child support and his pension/super-annuation
In some U.S states, there is also ex-spouse support
No fault divorce laws in Australia even it all up even if kids are involved.
I went through the system and came out with what I thought was a fair deal. NOW enjoying life and time with the kids.
My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity.
The hardest thing for me with the divorce was not seeing my kids all the time , but being out of a loveless and toxic marriage is better . We only get life so think long and hard what you think would be the best thing to do. even after loosing house , money I’m much happier now .
If there aren’t any kids involved, disappear or move to another country. I heard Japan and Germany are taking foreigners to repopulate the country
Unmarried still and with the stories I'm hearing, I do want to keep it that way. The laws haven't evolved to recognise that women are now often breadwinners in their own right and that leaves men still at a disadvantage

Not always the case.
Property settlement is all about the couple's contributions, mutual assets and liabilities incurred during the marriage.
Even if wife never worked and husband was the sole breadwinner during the marriage, her contribution is still 50% as long as the marriage lasted over 10 years.
Also, the party who has more time in custody of their children gets some adjustment to the split percentage. That's why most women try to keep their kids in their custody as much as possible, not necessarily they love them more than husband. Child support payment is calculated based on parents income and % time.
Another factor the court considers is the current income and future prospective. Whoever has lower current income and likely to be the same in the future will get some adjustment to their % split (usually 5-10%).
Each party's super will also be splited, not just husband's. Future pension is not included in the property settlement.
Divorced ,and much happier
Most chicks enter into relationships believing it will be a romantic fairy tale love story and blokes enter it thinking it will be an action packed adventure, but sadly both end up as war horror stories.
Chicks that survive the story generally turn it into a biographical docuseries for their friends, and blokes that survive it will turn it into a silent black & white film. Eventually some will attempt to reproduce the original as a reboot, remake or sequel but very few sequels are better than the original (and they do exist).
AND this is where punting comes into its own as it offers fantasy packed with porn and a guaranteed happy ending. But Ievitably 90% of blokes will attempt to change the narrative by adding romance and fairytale to the script which fucks the movie turning into a sad story with a shitty ending.
Anyway I'm off to see foreign fantasy-porn with subtitles.
I’m single and sometimes feel lonely however sometimes enjoying peace and a punt is priceless.
My parents typical wogs want me to get married.
Such rubbish laws in Western countries. In Saudi, Russia, China, Thailand, Philippines, India, Vietnam & other non-Western countries, theres none of this bullshit.
The couple split and keep what they brought into the marriage. And just talk out the child custody terms on their own. Most times the women are compliant as the men are the ones with money in these countries.
But you will be the one going in front of the judge in a family court if you get divorced and standing to lose everything. Not your parents.
Been there twice.
The second time was all online because we both agreed, plus no property or kids under 18 between us.
Cost $900 and we didn't have to attend court.
Had to wait until the second wedding anniversary to apply plus we were separated for one year.
I rent and lease my car these days. Property in mum's name so that's what I learnt from the first divorce.
It's pretty hard for them to get your super if the marriage wasn't that long. But even if you were married for a long time, super is hard to get. They'll need to spend big bucks on lawyers.
