Top comment on /r/divorce from an Angry Man
Well, a divorce is a huge life event and can cause people to re-evaluate. Not so much that he wasn't trying for you, but that now his life is upside down he finally understands how important it is.
But also, it's not like he changed that much, he might have a nice job, but he's still awful with money if he's buying a girlfriend a house.

This is something I haven't admitted out loud as someone who recently divorced (aside for therapy). Since we have little ones, I do hope he steps up for them and gets his shit together. On the other hand, I don't want him to because that means there is something wrong with me. Why didn't he support me? Why didn't he step up? Why did I have to do all the heavy lifting?
My therapist said something along the lines of "if he changes it wasn't because you weren't good enough. Its because you are not longer managing his feelings and life so he HAS to step up to the plate. You had an overgrown child not a partner. A true partner would at least meet halfway where it counts. If he does step up after you leave him it's because you showed him how to step up. He didn't step up not because of something you did wrong."
He probably was taking advantage of you, whether or not he realized it. I doubt he has actually changed, he just got a new job and a new lady. It's ok to be scared. You will be ok being alone. Date yourself and stop giving him anymore of your energy...you already gave him 12 years of it.
Did we all marry the same man?

as a man who isn't a total loser, you'd have to be r-slurred to get married. it's a promise by the government to reward her with half your shit whenever she decides to take it.

A smart woman divorces you. A tard woman stays.
The trick is to find a woman smart enough to know she can get away with half your shit while being a successful enough moid that she knows she is better off staying with you in her life.

you can try to marry a good woman who loves you and treat her right. but people change. and the totality of modern culture is working against your marriage working out.

You're a fricking idiot giving idiot men life ruining advice. Women don't operate with logic, they operate on emotions. It doesn't matter how much of a "successful enough" moid you are when it takes one bad argument for a foid's eyes to start wondering. Like a cow, they will always contemplate greener grass.

Sounds like failed divorcee sneed.
I am sorry that you conflate you not noticing a problem the first 100 times with there being no problem the first 100 times.

I'm not r-slurred enough to sign such an r-slured contract in this modern era. Marriage was only viable for men back when the "patriarchy" kept foids in check, it is actively detrimental to men in a post-feminist world.
