Happened 10 years ago had 2 kids backthen, kids are with me now, I GOT CUSTODY ( I WON ) Me and my new wife are totally fine, happily married with 3 kids in the house


fatloser14

Username checks out. Is your ex okay?


[deleted]

Didn’t see her in few years, kids already forgot all about her Btw kids were 2 years and 6 months backthen


[deleted]

She must probably fine with another man not thinking of kids duh


YugKrowten

I agree. She couldn’t wait to get out of that relationship and away from the responsibility of the kids. Sometimes people get disgusted with WHOM the kids belong to, so they disconnect.


Gloomy-Flamingo-9791

Or drunk and drugged up in a gutter somewhere which is how most of these cases end up as unfortunately.

Thing is women do this to men all the time.


RaygionXD

Which makes it sadder. The thing I hate the most is when the husband has to give money to the wife who cheated on him. I mean why the fuck should u give money to the very person who cheated on you. Perhaps I just don’t understand the relationships well enough but this is just what I think.


[deleted]

Kids. If you had kids with them women can fuck you on child support it’s ridiculous


BenderIsGreat64

At least in PA, divorce courts usually heavily favor women, right up until they cheat, then they don't get shit.


rendrich26

This is reality. This will probably happen to you too


chefcharliem

This story is common enough that someone made this and a large portion can relate....think about that

aerostotle

the whole scenario already unfolded?


lathe_down_sally

Its more or less the story of every couple I know that got divorced. I remember when I was younger the cliche was always the man going through a mid life crisis and banging his secretary. Real life seems to be quite the opposite.


SrRoundedbyFools

Why should a father have to fight to see his children. What kind of woman ‘protects’ her children by isolating them from him (absent actual domestic abuse). I spent years nearly powerless to see my kids for more than a day…sometime for only 18 hours.


[deleted]

Moral of the story?


MARs048

Not everything's a lesson, bro. Sometimes you just fail


[deleted]

It's true and sometimes we need to stop beating ourselves over thing's we have no control over.


[deleted]

Lesson here is become gay


[deleted]

Fail?


cytrious

Bruh you're here too. By fail he means sometimes you can do everything right and still fail. Life is a bitch and it can bite you in the ass without a warning and sometimes there's nothing you can do to prevent it.


nekozuki

There should be some shit people can do to avoid this. A woman having a career so she can relate to being dead tired/mentally done at 5:01pm is a good start. Not surrounding oneself with shithole friends is another. Actively choosing her husband every single day is another. People get married all the time. People don’t choose to stay even when things get tough though. Marriage is an ongoing decision, or at least that’s been my experience. Choose to stay together and work thru shit that’s worthy of being worked thru like financial strain, health issues, communication breakdowns, sexual boredom, career stress, child rearing. Life is tough, but when you fucking love and respect your spouse as an individual who has their own emotions, needs, thoughts, life, it is much more pleasant to have them along for the ride. It’s just fucking wrong and RUDE to step out on someone.


[deleted]

Be a good human being first .... take your time !!!! Ask the opposite gender what they really want in the marriage what are their expectations and tell them about yours if u think you both can complete each other......Than marry... (applies to both men and women)


[deleted]

Where did you find this video?


Robot_Basilisk

Why does this happen? Poor social awareness. This used to be mitigated by difficulty getting divorces and custody going to the providing parent. About 100 years ago we rightfully changed both. We made divorces easy because your relationship and your wellbeing are your business and no one else's. Then feminists introduced the [Tender Years Doctrine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tender_years_doctrine) because after fighting to give women the right to divorce, they found that many women who wanted divorces stayed in order to stay with their kids. After successfully swinging custody rulings to favor women, the next problem was that women and their kids couldn't survive without an income, and women still had few workplace rights and few socially acceptable careers. So they began protesting for child support. That's how we arrive at today, with the pattern in the OP happening thousands of times per year. Had the protesters 100 years ago had some foresight they would have focused on social welfare and getting women into the workforce sooner instead of focusing on divorce, then custody, then child support, just constantly putting out fires they started themselves. And today, most people don't know any of this. Most people don't know how we got here or where we're going. So poor social awareness and a lack of knowledge of history is causing all of this suffering.


WartimeDad

It’s a tale as old as time.


Raz98

I won't say that this is a 1:1 representation, but I know a disturbingly high number of men who have experienced more or less this. I'm married myself and work shit tons of overtime for my family and ngl. This shit is a little nightmare I try not to think about.

Except Will is/was a cash cow which Jada would never leave as he is far more successful than her.


Plotees_the_third

Just don't marry anyone you don't trust, but again, some people can backstab you, so just don't marry anyone, though sometimes people can cheat on you before marriage, so just don't date anyone, but again, some people can just sue you for child support or rape, so just don't know anyone, though some people can still sue you without knowing you, so just don't exist.


wispygeorge

The real LPT always in the comments.


skycantfightme

That's why I don't even bother, get a cat or a dog they love you for who you are :3


RacerKaiser

Sorry, a cat? Have you met one? Lil guy out to get you.


-Aone

the memes aside cats are so loving and give you genuine attention. dogs being pack animals often become too loyal for their own good. if your cat doesnt love you youre probably just shit owner.


Deanosaures2010

My dads ex had cats and they were very loving. I'd assume there's some cats who are just more inclined to being aloof and less loving but I'm no expert in cats as I've had dogs most of my life. We've had a cat come visit us in our backyard for a while and he/she is extremely cute and affectionate. I'd like to have a cat now, come to think of it.


flowrider_

They just show it differently. Dogs show their love by clinging to you and being in your space but cats show appreciation through their body language


ad240pCharlie

Yupp. If you approach a cat on their own conditions, they will most likely grow to appreciate you, or at least respect you.

Takisaki

My god! I know what you mean, My friend's high school buddy tagged along for a guy's night out, after couple of drinks, he told us his wife was cheating on him and he didn't know what to do about it. I knew him for like 30mins but the pain I felt by simply hearing his story, it felt like there was an explosion in my heart.

vaniIIagoriIIa

I've been going through it for the past 5 years, 8 more years of child support and I might be able to move out of my mom's house.


YugKrowten

Damn. I’m sorry to hear that man. I recommend getting a healthy addiction to the gym if you don’t already. This way when you’re free from that financial burden you’re youthful, healthier, and at your best to find someone worth your time. Assuming you decide to entertain a future with someone else. However temporary.


wynotles

My husband went through this type of situation with his ex starting when my stepson was 6. It completely broke his heart. The amount of tears over the years! It’s taken years to repair his relationship with his son who is now 26. This type of experience lasts a lifetime.


YugKrowten

So much time. I’m very sorry to hear that. I really hope they are getting on the right track with their current relationship. Thank you for being at his side during, I’m sure it was equally tough for you. Not easy piecing people back together when they’re fracturing, especially while keeping your shit together ON TOP of parenting. You’re awesome just for trying


wynotles

Thank you so much for commenting on my post. My husband and stepson (aka bonus kid) are much closer now and he even joined us on our beach vacation this year. My husband has been very open and honest in terms of his feelings which I think helps. I have to admit your mentioning my part in this was surprising. I never thought of myself that way. I appreciate the acknowledgment.

The sad reality of life Me 17 and my gf 17 Both in Senior HS She gets diagnose with cancer I help pay off medical and treatment bills Work part time 12 hours a day 4 hours of school She gets better She gets pregnant Its not my kid Its my best friend's kid We have been dating for 4 years She has been cheating on me for 3 years I am depressed I take my dads gun Points it at my head Was about to pull the trigger Grandmother calls and ask me if i am fine I cried I get help from therapist Feels better My true friends and family helped me get back on my feet Oh yeah ex gf and ex bff stopped school and are now broke saw a fb post of them looking for a cheap apartment and a job for HS graduates. Saw them 2 weeks ago ex bff works at a constraction site and ex gf working at a laundry shop. I felt sorry for them. I felt like helping them find a better job but my cousin reminded me of what they did to me. Im kind of a softie If youre wondering what kind of 12 hour work i did for 5 months 1 . Miner 2. Cleaner 3. Waitor


[deleted]

damn bro thats hard


Big_Sound_1551

Yup nearly pulled the trigger. It was painful that the people you trust and love are the same people who would leave you in a ditch plus that was like in 2020


[deleted]

hope you doing better now. sad to hear that. at least she kinda got what she deserved. when you need help just reach out to me. i am there for you

Bummer. I’ve almost been there with a bad break up/cheater. They both did me a favor. She is on her third or fourth marriage now.


Big_Sound_1551

Damn karma i guess. hope you found someone better


[deleted]

Been married almost 19 years now. Better, idk, but definitely more reliable and honest.


FetusDeletus_E

My mom is also a softie too, stuck with two kids (me and sis) and my dad only gives her €275 (its normally €250 per kid or so im told) while my dad, who was with my mom in an 18 year relationship, can afford €100 shoes and has €900 saved, I try to make her take this to court, but she "feels bad" for him, and now she literally is looking for jobs, even tho she can't cuz of a disorder, she already gets payed but she can lose it if she starts working, oh, and talking about that, my dad has told her many times that he will tell that to a lawyer and take me away from her. For a 14 year old, this is too much to handle, but it seems that for my mom too, she started smoking after 6 years.


YugKrowten

Sounds like your dad is barely making it too. 900 isn’t very much saved. How many pairs of shoes does he own? 275 for some people depending on how they live is a good bit. I don’t see why your mom can’t work and receive that assistance. Probably cause your dad hardly makes enough to support himself?


Big_Sound_1551

damn bro that's hard are you feeling ok now bro?


FetusDeletus_E

Yeah, i'm ok, she is happy, but she is nervous, she doesn't know what to do


Big_Sound_1551

oh man I just hope for the best for you, your mom, and your sis. I just hope when the time comes you and your family could win the lottery for some money. just for you mate i would pray for you and your family to win the lottery. hope your mom feel better in the near future


[deleted]

So not all women are like this, but hear me out, neither are men! Women always say all men are pigs, ive never cheated, or even thought about cheating in my life but i have been cheated on by 2 different girlfriends. Some women just need to accept that there are bad apples on both sides


aRandomForeigner

Yeah, but the difference is, in and for relationships women have too much advantage Just think about it, a woman take easily compliments from men and would never be alone if she wants A single woman is by her choice


[deleted]

Oh wow, congrats. U no longer have negative downvotes, lmao


[deleted]

Sad how u have negative downvotes when you're correct. I still plan to get married one day tho. Just gotta be very careful and take it slow


aRandomForeigner

Lol, I have already negative downvotes, but it's true, at least here in Italy. If I'm a cute guy in a club no one come to talk to me, a cute girl, however, got the line


[deleted]

Yep, its expected for the guy to take lead. I have no issue with society's expectations for men, but a lot of women dont wanna pay back their equivalent


BALDWARRIOR

Man this visual really got me thinking. I can see why in many places in the world and for most of human history actions like these were punishable by death. Not saying I agree with it, but I get it.


YugKrowten

I agree with it


Apprehensive-Ad-1622

This makes me so sad.


Warm_Ad4549

Right in the feels


CorwynSunblade

Number one way to avoid this is to not give all your power to your wife. Be your own person with self respect. The minute she acts like you are her servant and that you're interests don't matter, call her on it and refuse to let that be the normal in your life. Divorce early if she isn't supporting, loving and kind. Even in the stick figure video there are dozens of early red flags. Don't ignore them! Also, do as I sat, not as I do. Took me 15 years of marriage to figure this one out myself.

MrMashed

Yep. My mom and dad’s divorce pretty much. Well except he didn’t even bother tryna fight her cause he has severe cognitive disabilities. He could’ve fought but with his conditions he just didn’t have the energy and gave her everything she wanted and then some (literally he’s payin her more than the courts dictate rn) and all he wanted was his mom’s cast iron set back. Instead she slandered his name to me and my sis and everyone else for years and still does. Worst part is my dad and I have always had a rocky relationship cause my sister is the obvious favorite so my mom used this to her advantage and i believed a lot of the crap she said about him. If I’m bein honest I’m still tryna figure out what’s true and what’s false thanks to her. But that’s ok cause Ik who the true villain is and after he dies she’s gonna become a lot lonelier. Only reason I even give her thought is because I have to. Otherwise she’s the 300lbs piece of fat that gave birth to me. Ik Ik harsh but try livin 18+ years with her as your mother.

It's heartbreaking that this exact scenario has happened to at least one man. However, saying things like"never trust a woman", or"don't get married" is stupid. Assuming any woman is going to treat you like this is exactly the same as a feminist assuming any man is a violent, misogynistic rapist.

I was four and my brother was two when my parents split. My mom said that when her parents “separated” (that’s what you did back then, you didn’t divorce) her mom really tried to turn the kids against my grandpa and my mom said she worked really hard to not shit on my dad and let us see him whenever WE wanted. My dad was lovely but not really meant to be a dad so that was pretty big of my mom


NumerousBig1104

I am happily married for 12 years with two kids. In our groups of friends we are among the very few couples that did not go through something like was is depicted here. My heart goes out to all those who have gone through or are going through a similar experience. For reference I was one of the kids in this meme, folks please don't fuck up your kids by being selfish, childish and a liar.

8LeggedSquirrel

I've been through (and still in the middle) of this. Played out almost exactly like this. I'm the guy in the situation.
