Divorce is often seen as a life-altering event that impacts both partners, but the changes it brings to men are sometimes less discussed. While society may expect men to move on quickly or "tough it out," the reality is that divorce can deeply affect their emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being.

Ways Divorce Can Change a Man

No matter how toxic (and pointless) it is to continue pining for an ex, most women have a near impossible time letting go and moving forward. Let’s say you had a job where you felt perpetually stressed, anxious, and miserable. You put in all you could, even if it came at the expense of your ego and sometimes, your sanity. And let’s say you got fired from that job. Yes, being unemployed is scary so at first you’ll feel upset and worried, but you will also probably feel relieved. You’ll realize it was for the best and will be thankful that you are now free to find a job that is better suited for you, one where you will feel valued and appreciated. You won’t spend sleepless nights pining for that old job, wondering what went wrong and what else you could have done. You’ll realize, with perfect clarity, that it wasn’t the right place for you.

What “It Ends With Us” Gets Wrong

One of my favorite TikTok trends is known as the “I am no man’s peace” trend. In this trend, women share screenshots of their most cutthroat and ruthless text responses to men’s aggressive or insulting behavior in the dating world. If you’re not feeling up to creating your own unique comeback, however, have no fear. Here are some I’ve created. You can simply enjoy these for laughs without sending them to anyone or, on a rare occasion, utilize them to humble a toxic man who’s either done you dirty or tried to neg you or emotionally harm you in some way. They are grouped into four categories for different situations. Remember: only use these in rare occasions with people who actually deserve it and who have gone out of their way to disturb your peace by trying to deliberately provoke or manipulate you. Don’t use these in unsafe situations where a man has your personal information or with potentially dangerous men and certainly don’t use it on men who don’t deserve it. Hit the block button whenever possible after sending. The point of these comebacks is not to keep engaging with toxic people but to leave them in the dust and humble them while doing so, hopefully to discourage them from behaving in such an abhorrent and audacious way toward women in the future.
