Keep at it. Weekly if you can. It will help and it’ll get you back to a really good place asap.

Btw, I get why your mind is taking you to thoughts that she cheated based on how easy she’s making this on you but try not to do that to yourself. It is possible it’s just out of guilt that she knows you’re a good person and just isn’t in love with you anymore.

Sometimes people just grow apart and neither person is a piece of shite.

Nothing gets you over the last one like the next one. Join a gym or do something to improve yourself, increase social time and keep your mind off of everything else. Look into a good counselor, they can get talk you through things until you can get through the worst part.

Take some time, treat yourself to an adventure. Something with a little risk. Spend a couple weeks away from normal life and see if you can disconnect

Agreed. If nothing else, it gives you somewhere to vent when you don’t want to talk about that shite with friends/family.

Also OP, is there anything you wanted to go do during your marriage that you couldn’t for whatever reason? Some trip you wanted to take? Some stuff you wanted to go do but didn’t because she didn’t like it? Go do it. Definitely go do some new things that won’t you didn’t necessarily share with your ex.

Doesn’t seem like a bad divorce, compared to what others have mentioned on this board, but I can’t get out of my own head and I’m really struggling with this. Any suggestions?



It will take time. I had a really amicable seperation and divorce but still felt like I was a failure, that I let my mom down and my kids down, etc. Took me about a year from the initial separation to get back to get myself completely together in my head (we were apart for some time before we actually divorced but we knew we were done prior to actually divorcing), though I'd bet no one suspected unless I told them.

Time is the ultimate salve. I would encourage you to talk to family you may feel you let down or hurt. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised how accepting they will be. I could probably have saved myself some torment if I had talked with my mom sooner than I did, she was the one I really felt I had disappointed and she was not at all disappointed in me.

Good luck, man. The fact that it does give you pause actually says something good about you, IMO.

I’ve been divorced for 4 years (was with ex for 13 years) and I’m now remarried. I’m still not totally over the divorce depression. It’s really traumatic to lose your life as you knew it for so long. Nothing feels stable. It does get better with time, but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Hang in there.

How resistant to change you are will limit growth. Some never get over it.

It's all about adapting, welcoming and seeing change as opportunity.

Everything is opportunity

Probably a year or so. That was my case anyway. It'll go away.

Honestly, get drunk and find some hot piece of arse. Try to find some selfish pleasure for a bit.

It goes fast when the evil you're trying to swallow down, is a lesser evil than what already lies in your mind, heart and soul.



Choose hate.

Time will heal that wound. Just try to stay busy when you can.
