Any divorced guys with kids here?

S.A.M.

ive been married 7 yrs (together 17) and think it's time to call it quits. Been a long time coming (probably before we actually got married, but I was gonna tough it out). Have a 13yr old son (and 19yr old step son, but he's been mainly at his dads this past yr as it's closer to his gf and work).
 
I got 2 kids with my ex, they were 9 and 10 when I finally had enough. I only stuck it out that long cause I knocked her up while kicking my ass the whole time. Here I am 3 years later with a new girlfriend that my daughters love. I have shared custody of them so it's 50/50. We started of week on week off but my ex need a extra week a couple years ago so I had them for 2 weeks straight. After that 2weeks they asked me and my girlfriend if it could stay 2 on 2 off and that's how it still is.

You ever want to chat dude let me know. It wasn't an easy road for me but worth it. I'm better off now and my kids are better off to cause I'm in a better head space now
 
Divorced after 15 years .
Had two girls with her 10 and 6, have two kids with my current lady, 2 years old, and three weeks old.

Have my girls pretty much split custody, if not more, but I pay as if she has full.. Which is b. S.

My kids and myself are much happier now, since my ex was so toxic to everyone. Members of my immediate family are around more than ever since my divorce. Didn't realize so many people found my ex so toxic..
 
pure misery, I just wrapped up my divorce recently, have three boys with her 6,4 and 3. Is should have saw it coming but I didn't which was a huge kick in the balls. it was by far the worst experience of my life. I see my boys everyday because I work nights and its easier than either of us paying for child care so I know im lucky because a lot of guys dont get that. To make matters worse I was dating this nurse who was a 10, not just looks but all around, brought my boys around her daughter and everything was great, talked to her yesterday and now it seems like thats going to be coming to a screeching halt for reasons unknown. So I do hear you brother shit is not easy. Feel free to drop my a line if you want to talk, I know I sure as hell could.
 
We don't fight a lot. Everything is just cold. Nothing there. Been like that for YEARS. I've been emotionally checked out for a very long time.
 
thats usually the first sign of a problem, try talking it out with her, see where her head is at and explain where you are, on the flip side dont stick around if your going to be miserable for the rest of your life, marriage is not easy bro, i was with my ex for 12 years, if you two can save it and be happy i think thats the best option for you.
 
Too many people stick it out for the sake of the kids, but kids know that something is wrong with mom and dad. Kids can sense everything.

My kids are all much happier now. Sure it was a tough adjustment for them initially, but kids adapt quickly.

+1 The other reason it's not a good idea to tough it out because of the kids, is that if the environment around them is not good meaning if the parents are always fighting and arguing, then they grow up thinking it's ok for a relationship to be that way. You gotta do what's best and healthiest for the kids.
 
Separated since 2007 divorced 09
11yr old boy who lives with her for now but I'm about to Make some money so I'll be getting a nice place and going back to court
 
Im a single dad of a 5 year old. I wont put her down, thats my sons mom. I have him 24 7. Kids know. Just do the best you can, especialy around them, they look up to you like your superman, they will make their own decisions. Surround them with love and support. Never stay together for the kids.
