I’ve been a dependent person my whole life. I hate it, but that’s how it has been for me. OP does provide some hope.

Coming out of a divorce is the perfect time to work on yourself. Focus on that and everything else will sort itself out.
And the amazing thing is that you might find someone even better. I've had two relationships since my divorce and they have been exponentially better than my marriage.
Now coming out of the last relationship, I'm again focusing on myself and my issues, working with a trainer, doing some therapy and just trying to improve whatever I can.
You will be surprised at the doors that self-improvement will open up for you. Hang in there.

This is the most normal post I’ve ever seen from you…

Hope it helped. I have many sides. Those who get me, get it. I'm not the guy most people think I am here. Good luck on your journey brother. One day at a time, just go through the process.

Where do old people meet single women? Match.com?

Life. Work. Same as always. Match and the apps have jumped the shark.

I'm divorced two years and never been happier.
I'll never go back in the water again, but good for you.

For you and OP: were you happy in your marriage? I was very happy, until I found out she was a cheater, obviously.

And if your friend is a cook, sour milk can become cheese, the basis for many great meals.
With time, wine also sours and (if lucky) can become Greek Stifado or the basis for a good Chicken Tarragon.

Good for you. Seriously. I am over 6 years into my divorce and haven’t begun to recover emotionally or financially.
I just keep grinding and focusing on my kids. I’m ready for a change but my youngest was only 4 when she pulled this shite and it’s been tough as hell on him which nearly breaks me.

It’s pretty remarkable what my goofy looking arse is looking like as I approach 40.

I was severely depressed when my wife filed for divorce. But I went to work and prepped hard, and it paid off. The judge basically called my wife a whore when denying her alimony (but in legal terms), and during the actual hearing, my lawyer destroyed my ex. The judge actually awarded me even more than MY lawyer asked for - turned out to be an 80/20, 85/15 split, something like that, and I kept the house and didn’t have to pay off any of her debt. A year later and I’m pretty darn happy.

The first few years were fantastic, but it just got worse and worse as the years dragged on. It wasn’t any single thing that made me file. She has a long history of running family and friends off with her behavior. I’ll be kind and leave it at that. Despite that, it physically hurt me to drag her to court and divorce her. It was an admission that I had failed. Having said that, I don’t regret starting that relationship or ending it. Everything in life is a learning experience.
ETA: also, on the dating front today: I checked my DM’s this afternoon and found a local, hot as hell 33 year old in there (I’m 50).We talked for an hour and
I might be pretty close to working my magic. What an amazing turnaround.
