So you have a new GF but miss the stability of your ex wife? Quite a pickle, huh?

---

Damn, I’m one of those people who have always liked being in a relationship because I also like stability.

Why did you and the ex split?

Also, if the new girlfriend isn’t satisfying your needs find a new one. Last, you may need to try being alone for a while and becoming comfortable with yourself.

That's probably not the case.

I get it OP. Haven't gone through myself, but several of my friends have. Best thing to do is like others have said: stay as civil as possible, but remember it is over and try not to let yourself get too attached.

Also recommend doing like an earlier poster suggested and find a new hobby if you don't already have one. Keep your mind busy and it'll help. As with everything, time will take care of the rest.

Best of luck man. This too shall pass.

Current GF would not like that.

We won't say a word

That was and is the hardest part of being divorced. It’s comforting to have stability. Learning to build that on my own has made me reluctant to ever remarry. I don’t want to go through divorce again.

I was your age when I got divorced. I had 2 kids(7&3) as well. Missing the kids is what got me the most. Honestly, I kept Disney channel on in the house for the 1st month or so after we separated. Now, 7 years later....it's been great. The ex and I are friendly and see eye to eye on most things. Now, I'm remarried to an ex gymnast 10 years my junior and I've got two more kids(2&4). Stay strong brotha, it'll get better. In the time being, be the best damn dad you can be.

I think this is what's bothering me the most, not being around my children everyday, 4 and 8 years old.

Everyday I thank God for dodging the bullet that was spending the rest of my life with my first wife.

In time, you’ll feel the same way

This was the hardest part for me. You will eventually accept it, but it will take time. It's the part that sucks the worst.

Women can be replaced, your kids can't.
