Has anyone gone through a divorce? My wife left me because she is no longer in love with me. She is still the love of my life, so it has not been easy. Luckily, we do not have any kids, unless you are a weirdo like me who counts dogs as kids. Not looking for sympathy or anything like that rather how did you handle it? Any suggestions? Appreciate it.
How long were you together? Only thing that helps is time. Move on. Look forward. You will notice each day gets better and you think about the situation less and less.
Yes I have been through a divorce, actually twice and to the same woman. Everybody is different and there are some people who always have to have someone in their lives - they can’t be alone. Luckily, I don’t feel that way. I have plenty of things to keep me busy. Op - I am sorry that you are going through this - I would suggest that you figure out what you want out of your life. If having someone in your life is important, then get out on the dating scene. If not, focus on your hobbies and the things that make YOU happy.
sorry to hear about your situation breh. i know a few people in my environment who went thru divorce and it has made me not want to marry when i get older. i don't have much to say since i'm a forever alone. at least the rox are doing well and green is a superstar, we can turn our attention to that.
That sucks. Maybe better you didn't have kids, easier to move on otherwise she may stick in it for that reason alone and you'll be in misery. Hindsight.
I have not been through a divorce because it would be a financial catastrophe. The thought of losing my vast wealth motivates me to reconcile any differences. Focus on yourself, King. Stay active -- get involved in activities. Get in great shape. Invest in clothing that projects class. Get your bread up. You will upgrade in no time.
Sorry to hear this, but you will put it in the rearview mirror someday. Just don't beat yourself up, b/c plenty of us go through a divorce. My advice: if at all possible, try to work, with your soon-to-be ex, via a paralegal. This will be immensely better for both of you if you can avoid fully lawyering up and going after one another, because in the battle royale, only the lawyers tend to win. In my starter marriage, we had a paralegal draw everything up in our split and were both very happy about it, versus an expensive battle in court. From what you're describing though, she may have lawyered up already.
Damn man. I'm sad to read that, though I'm sure you've found peace with it. At least at 15, he can soon make his own decisions about who he spends some time with. Take care.
I don't know if this is appropriate where you are right now, but it's damn interesting and you are not alone.
I’ve not been through a divorce but went through a breakup with a woman who I lived with for a few years. Looking back I’m glad we didn’t get married and deal with all the legal stuff. I don’t have any good advice for you but hope things work out for you.
sorry to hear this OP, I don't really have anything to add other than to hope you can keep your spirits up and that things improve quickly for you
I got divorced and we had a mediator, we had a list of what each other was going to take down to our 2 dogs and it was fairly painless............but dam, emotionally it was hard, it`s going to take time, as others have said, stay busy or you will dwell on the "what if`s", I had a moment of weakness and tried to get back with her and that was a huge mistake, you broke up for a reason. So sorry dude, I wouldn't wish that emotional roller coaster on anyone.
It’s been hard and it has almost destroyed my parents but I talk to him or text with him about twice a week. His mother and her family guilt him if he wants to spend more time with me - yea, it’s f*cked up but I think in another year or so, he is going to rebel.
Yeah, that her side can't see a way clear to let the boy see his grandparents... doesn't speak well of her. But I'm glad to hear you maintain some contact. Meanwhile, you can totally remove that church choir business if you want! I think that came out of some stupid sig bet we made a long time ago, haha.
OP, sorry to hear this. My only advice is do not be Bill Dauterive. Get yourself together, see a therapist if needed, and enjoy life. This is a bump in the road, it sucks, but you'll survive and be better for it.
Never been through a divorce myself - I tell my wife that if she ever leaves, I'm coming with her - but my parents divorced when I was very young. I have no memories of them ever being together. It really sucks for the kids. I read somewhere that a divorce is similar to a death in the family emotionally, so it's nothing to take lightly. Sorry for anyone going through it or anyone that's been through it.
