Very few men initiate divorce because they fell out of love.


My husband is currently trying to decide if he wants to divorce me because, although he says he still loves me, is not “in love” with me anymore. It sucks even more since we have a kid. I believe part of being “in love” is the true commitment to each other. In the wise words of Alan Jackson, “Love is hard.”

All I know is that if I do end up being divorced, I’m never trusting/committing to anyone again, lol.

I wouldn't say that. You may just find someone that is a better fit for you.

I wonder how many of the people here that are constantly shitting on black people for fatherless homes are divorced themselves


Being divorced doesn't mean being fatherless.

And you're an idiot for bringing up something that no one was talking about as some sort of gotcha. In addition to higher rates of out of wedlock children, black couples get divorced, too. Right? What was your point then? Divorced white people with kids should feel shame because they might have mentioned absent black fathers a time or two? Your complaint is petty as frick, you warrior, you.

Married 12 years and she initiated the divorce after the kid was born. She was selfish for years and I put up with it. Finally she decided she just wanted to be a mom and not a wife and filed for divorce.

I was lenient in the divorce and could have taken the house, but decided against that to keep a stable relationship with my daughter.

I’m in a shitty lift apartment right now, but it’s my own life. She dominated everything in the relationship and I was just borrowing her life at the end of our marriage.

How do kids handle split custody? Even in the best situation it seems like an odd sort of childhood, 2 houses, 2 families, 2 sets of friends, half siblings, etc


1 family, 2 houses, same friends, no half siblings yet. Its certainly not ideal but its way better than all living under 1 roof with parents who are arguing all the time and one who is self destructing.

Love is a choice. He made the choice to fall in love with you. He's now making the choice to fall "out of love" with you. Here's the thing. There are certain things that we do, subconsciously to fall in love. It's a process and we don't even know it. And yep, it's the same when a person falls out of love. And yep, they don't even know it.

Is he involved in an affair? Emotional? Physical?

Damn, it’s like I’m looking in a mirror, bro. Almost word for fricking word.

Except mine was 20 years (together 28).

How about ten times then. Maybe twenty or a hundred. Your argument is just as dumb regardless of how many times it's mentioned.

Are you married and/or clairvoyant? How would one know the effects of age, children, career changes, etc. on a mate when choosing said mate?

It's the biggest gamble most will take in their lives.

I went to a lawyer who said I was screwed even though she cheated. Then, I was recommended another lawyer who cost a little more, but saved me much money and peace of mind in the long run. Good luck

Focus on yourself first and then your children. Anything you say to her can be construed by her as push behavior which won't bring you closer. Actions speak louder than words. Check in with her no more than 2 times a week for 10 minutes maximum. Don't constantly bring up your issues. It won't help.


And believe it or not, nothing in your relationship is an emergency. You're going to learn what the true meaning of patience is.
Do you suspect any outside influences?

Take his low-rent arse to the bank.... And don't look back. Trust is the key. Find that dude and you'll live happily ever after.
