hello there

i got divorced last december after 6 years of marriage. we were childhood friend and i've known her since i was 11 from an online game we used to play together. i am now 32 and she is 34.

1) at the point where i see there is no change of heart from my ex-wife after i tried to fix everything for almost a year

2) we did try to hold on for our son who is now 5yo. but some things are not fixable anymore.

3) Yes there will be lots changes in our life. But we keep the things between us only. We are now co-parenting and we took turn caring for him. usually i spend the
    week with him and he went to his mother on the next one.

4) Financially became unstable for me because previously we shared the bills together. So now it is 100% on me it hit me like a truck. One of the reason of my
  divorce is due to my inability to earn more and provide a better living condition to my family.

5) it felt bad so bad during the early days, when i had no one to talked to. i've had sleepless nights and all. now i started accepting it and it slowly calmed me down.
    currently i am staying at my friend house as he let me stay to finish the edah period. Although i am overstaying for a bit because i am fixing my old house.
My opinion: Divorce should not be a a bad thing to begin with. but we in Malaysia had always been a certain view on it. it could mean a fresh start or anything.
                  Sometimes, things just don't work out they way we expected it to be.

whats your opinion on divorce?

If both no kids and feel like cannot fix things anymore better to go separate ways.

If got kids, and kids is still small. Then you both gotta think of the kids and try to mend things. Unless there is violence or 3rd party involve then no choice, but priority must be given to the well being of your children.

What a way to start her life. Imagine delivering the baby and getting a divorce.
*
Yeah, it was just tragic. Some people would consider to give some time for the partner to correct their mistakes, etc. But her husband refused to talk to her regarding his attitude. The other day they were arguing and he stormed out from their house, got into his car and drove off, while my friend was trying to open the front passenger door. He stepped on the gas and my friend was dragged a little bit and then fell down. Badly injured with cuts and bruises. She was 8 months pregnant at that time. Dude claimed he didn't noticed she was on the side of the car.

I was just told she delivered her baby this morning btw.

I'm not a divorcee but have several friends who went through divorce.

Personally I think divorce is not necessarily a bad thing. Sure, at first it might feel like you've failed but for me sometimes things just don't work out for you and your ex partner. Eventually you'll see the bright side of it.

Most of my friends got divorce either their ex-husbands cheated on them, or just financially didn't provide enough for their family. But they're now much happier with their lives and a couple of them has remarried.

Recently a friend of mine told me she want a divorce and will proceed after she safely deliver her first baby. Apparently her husband changed after they got married, he had been obsessing with his ex-wife and he's barely home, he's always at his ex-wife's place with an excuse that he's spending time with his children.

CF 988 also has one woman call.

the husband was very romantic when they were dating. but i think hunter got his prey. 180 degree changed.

now having relationship with 2 women... and he doesnt know she knows. CF asks her to decide what is her bet she is willing to lose. get prepared. and she is scared of him even when he is the wrong one.

so we never know one true self even after married. always keep some love for yourself. never all for the other person.

Correct, I have friends who have divorced and as far as I can tell a divorce isn’t the end of a happy marriage, but an end to a bad one.

One friend told me when he broke the news to his kids, they were pretty relaxed about it because many of their classmates have divorced parents too. It seems divorce is more acceptable, and ‘normal’ these days
*
Yeah, especially if it's amicable. Either way there's no reason to stay in a marriage if both of you couldn't stand each other/have issues. People back then stayed because they want to save face, financial reasons and because they worry about the kids. I came from a dysfunctional family, my parents barely tolerated each other and they still do at the age of 64. I always believed that they'd be happier if they had gotten divorce. My siblings and I too would be happier, I believe.

one thing i would say for people who plans to marry please be financially very strong.

i will even say at least be a top m40 or t20 before becoming the head of the family.

with this strong financial, you can easily lead your family and provide them with a much much better environment.

of course, you can find a decent humble partner who are okay with lower living status but that is rare. people's heart can change.

as a man, you're only loved as long as you provide.

That's always the case. Poor that woman, hope she finds happiness soon.

Agreed on what you said. Love others but love yourself first.

Obviously not everyone feels and thinks that way.

Are you a liability to the family? Do you contribute anything to your family, monetary and non monetary?

I have neighbours who are househusbands because their wives significantly earn more. The husband take cares of the kids and the house. Why not? someone has to do it. And they look happy to me. I don't know what happens behind closed doors but they appear happy.

was that an expectation from her, you or both?
men are meant to be provider of the family. I personally cannot accept if a man earns much less than me. it's not about the money per se, it's about how one's mind is aligned to improve life.

It's the rationale where if I can make my own money, why would I even need you, and men often put their self image as provider of the family, less provider of emotional needs. that is why many high ranked highly educated women end up being single.

im not even a high maintenance person, have 0 liking to branded bags etc, love roadside food, walking is my fav things to do. restaurants make me anxious as too many protocols to follow, but even if im low maintenance, it's about the alignment of mindset.

I personally don't think it's wrong for women to want a men with a roof, and a car. takkan go for a guy with only a bike. women's nature is to look after kids and to ensure the kids survive.

it's a lonely journey out there for men, but also for women.

not easy have marriage these days, both exhausted, drain of energy and money, and too much problems.

in no ways my above statement is directed to you but in general.

thanks for sharing your story.

was that an expectation from her, you or both?

it was both. but i have a more 'logical' time line.

before married, i already got a house, fully furnished and everything. but it was a medium cost apartment so no lift, free parking etc. the surrounding is not the cleanest that time because the jmb is in bad state. my self and few others step up and re-arrange the jmb to fully working state and restore almost everything and then it got so much better.

But my ex-wife, keep on wanting to move into a condominium because she doesn't like the house currently we living in. i request for joint loan if wanted to move but she said i was supposed to provide it, not shared. there is no end to this request. I do want to move to a better place, but of course not in this very quick time.

i paid for almost everything (groceries, house , bills) except my son's day care, which she paid. We always eat at home and i am the one who cooks and do all the chores because she usually reached home late.

she also ask for pocket money when eating outside because she said all her friend got few hundred monthly allowance from their husband. She also brought up that her friends went for vacation every once few months.

yes, maybe it was my mistake thinking i could afford to marry and even had a child with my current condition. it's a lesson and motivation for me now for taking care of my son.

is it all about money?

i think there are some married couple who just not compatible in way of thinking. they cant even agree and will get into argument even for the simplest things. in my personal experience also most of my argument is due to attitude and failed communication, not necessarily because of money (although it could be rooted or solved by money lol🤭)

if money is everything why there are many poor couple who are happy? just yesterday i went to pasar malam and observe poor people. they looked happy i feel so jealous of them. but maybe im wrong.

my family were quite supportive. they don't say much and just accept as jodoh tak ada.

the always check up on me these few months and always asked whether i am okay. they are more afraid if i got into depression and harm myself etc.

usually when i visit, they treat me a lot. makan2, go jalan2. and i am thankful for them.

as for ex-wife's family, i treat them with respect like usual. they are still a family for my son.

money wasted, yes that could be true.

time and relationship is something dear. it is not a bad thing. those are sweet memories and bad memories and deserve to be remembered and treasured.

i think it will help me appreciate more of the time left with the people we love.

not nescessary la. depends on the reason why u salary low also. if by choice then okay.

If u got trouble holding down a job long term keep kena goreng then end up become freeloader. Low salary is just a symptom of bigger problem. at that moment u just lose all the credibility to be the decision maker, everything u said will be doubtful by default.

I have been married for almost 14 years. struggling financially to cope with my full time housewife. we have 2 kids.

The biggest problem is financial where im earning decent income but not able to provide luxury that she demands. worst is she is superstitious where she kept asking me to change name, change phone number because those number dont bring me luck which i certainly do not believe at all.

Argued several times from this and this is draining me mentally to come back home everyday facing this type of nonsense.

Been hinting about divorce several times during bad argument but in the end she didnt suggest divorce.

I do most of the housework despite working but somehow im always the one to blame whenever any problem happen at home.

Now im just hanging on for our kids and i cannot accept single parenting.

Wife was the chief breadwinner for nearly a decade, while I was doing my housemanship, medical officership, specialist exams, junior specialty positions etc.

I'm lucky she never walked out on me.

Now she's retired and I'm the only breadwinner...

... deswai I will also retire next year, so I don't have to support her hahaha.
