Polls: Break Up & Divorce

A woman wrote an article confessing she cheated on her loving husband. After the betrayal, he left, changed completely, became cold, angry, and reportedly now treats women as disposable and untrustworthy. She ends by saying: “There’s another misogynist in the world because of me.” - www.yourtango.com/.../cheated-on-husband-now-he-hates-all-women

Do you think she’s right to take the blame for how he turned out?

I voted “the woman is to blame”—not because she’s responsible for all of his choices, but because her betrayal was the catalyst. He wasn’t abusive, cruel, or unstable before. He was loving, faithful, and committed. She shattered the foundation of trust he built, and now she’s realizing that her actions didn’t just end a marriage—they changed a man.
That doesn’t mean he’s right to become hateful or destructive afterward, but it’s disingenuous for her to act like his transformation came out of nowhere. Actions have consequences, and sometimes those consequences don’t just break hearts—they harden them.

My former girlfriend and I were together for the past year and things had definitely cooled off since around the holidays and I assumed she was wanting to break up. I thought Friday would be a good day to break up because she could be free to see anyone she wanted for the entire weekend. I forgot when I sent the text first thing Friday Morning that it was Valentine’s Day when she responded back asking if it was a joke. I told her it wasn’t a joke and that we should stop seeing each other and she said she understood.

Now some of our mutual friends are mad at me for breaking things off on Valentine’s Day like there’s some rule you can’t break up. Was I in the wrong? Should I have waited until Monday?

Breakups are more painful for MEN because they're more emotionally invested in relationships than women - www.dailymail.co.uk/.../...women-study-claims.html

I would have to say this is true. It happens more often to men, But the reality of the matter, Bitter ex spouses use children as pawns and as a means to punish the other parent in divorce. Especially when NO ABUSE IS PRESENT.

It would be too soon if I ran into most women I was romantically linked to in the past. This includes the ones who broke up with me.

I might have been upset about it at the time. But now I look back I’m glad they are long gone. Most of them had no respect for me anyway and there is no replacement for respect. Good riddens.

But there is one in particular that haunted me for a very long time. She broke up with me but I actually wanted her to at the time. I deeply regret how I handled that. It was 10 years ago now and I’ve just haven’t met anyone else like her since then. She was something very special.

if parent who is paying the spousal support has to pay rent of 2-2.5k per month, take care of 1 child, and has a yearly salary of 120k.

Or should they be shamed for it?
