Got married at 21, now 36 with 3 kids. Wife is always angry. My mind wanders and thinks of what it could be like to be single and have roughly 2/3rds of my current income. Chasing OT 6.5's, playing golf, traveling, taking my kids on trips without a control freak present. Any divorce success stories?

Sounds like your mind is made up.


You may have 2/3 of income, but you'll be without at least half of whatever it is you currently have.

Unless a spouse is abusive to the kids or endangers their safety, there are no success stories for divorces that involve kids.

That's assuming you consider the well-being of the kids in mind when you define "success".

start by getting rid of cable so she can't sit there and watch the View and O and lifetime and get a head full of ideas that husbands suck.

I did it. My kids now think I'm a better dad, and I'm drowning in pussy


Wife didn't even take anything in the divorce

hope that shes crept around on you and you have evidence is the only way you get through this thing fairly unscathed.

sounds like you're forgetting about the pesky little "lose half your wealth and assets" part of the deal

No.
1. Decide how you can be the best husband you can be and start being that person.
2. Take it on the chin while you attempt this because she won't likely react how you want (maybe for a while), and you will be tempted to act selfishly.
3. Keep repeating.

Women are all batshit crazy bags of uncontrollable hormones that need men to control their madness.

If you've been married 15 years and you still don't know what it takes to shut your wife up and put a smile on her face, then you are a shitty husband. You're also an idiot.

If you spend that much time with a person for 15 years and don't know why their mad and don't know how to make it better you lack instincts. Pay attention.

I guarantee your wife has been planning to separate for a while now.

The only debt we have is our house....could sell it and break even. I'm cool with dividing assets because, technically, she deserves it. Also figured in spousal and child support...should leave me with 2/3 of current income.

With 3 kids unless they are all 18 or older you won't keep much of your income....

You have 3 kids under 15, you're the primary bread winner, and you want to sell your house?

Good luck.
