Divorce - anyone been through it?

[faruk]

Even though if I was given the chance to be born again I would pick being a man 10/10 times, I think it's not easy being a man sometimes.

If we remain single then we get lonely and people ask why we're not married.

If we get married then we limit ourselves to one partner and risk losing half (or more) of our stuff if things don't work out.

Then if we have kids we lose our dreams. What was once a youthful fit young man is now a middle aged balding man with a beer belly. Pushing prams instead of working on cars. Playing with baby toys instead of video games. Going to kids playgrounds instead of the gym.

And maybe worst of all is we can't really talk about it because then we're labelled as whingers or misogynists.

Maybe we should get an anonymous group chat going where we can vent and support each other.

The baby being pushed in the pram also grows into a fit young man n when you get home from work n your fit young man comes to the door, reaches out for a man hug just know that pushing that pram, going to the playground n playing with baby toys is what brings him to you. Life.

A man is better off being single and dating women who go to the trouble of making themselves appealing, visually and in bed.

That's the good part, but at what cost? What about the sleepless nights with a crying baby? Or the wife constantly giving you shit for the most trivial things?

Wouldn't the government need to support the women who are now unable to support themselves?

If you haven’t listened to divorce sob stories, you need to start listening to them. Out of that cohort of women that are trying to get their ex’s assets, a proportion of them actually have the ability to work and make a living for themselves and their kids if any. They just don’t want to do it because of being lazy, spiteful, spoilt, etc. So, Gov having to support them, we’ll see about that!

And the new bloke that's picked her up, if he hasn't moved in at least staying over a few nights getting his end in , he'd be chipping in with food n bills so she'd be doing alright.

Sigh, I swear the aptitude of members on this forum to jump into conclusions is astounding.

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

Been there, done it, and have not regretted it even for a second.

If you’re thinking about it then there is clearly a reason, and unless it’s based off some sort of one off event that you could potentially get over, then the writing is most likely on the wall.
