I'm 55 and feel young, never been married, and I love it!
First of all, you are not old, and everything will be OK.
I will be in Bangkok next month and Jakarta then Bali after 2 weeks in Bkk. Join me there if you want to forget about the ex wife...

I’m also 36 with a 7 month old and feel as good as I did when I was 25.
Get into the gym, eat healthy, and get your mind right. If for nothing else you need to do it for your baby. Forget about dating, the women will come. You have a mental block right now you need to overcome first.

I did it at that exact age. It’s jarring because your entire identity it husband and father & this divorce changes everything.
Fast forward a bit and you find yourself and reinvent yourself. You’ll look back and wish it had happened sooner

Did y’all try:
Couples counseling
Church
Prayer
Small groups
Couples vacations
Etc?
What all did you try before divorce became the only option?

Dude let me tell you a couple things
First off don’t fall back into another relationship anytime soon. All you’re doing is coping.
Nothing wrong with hunting for some pussy, but leave it at that.
You’re still a young dude.
Lots of life left to live. You have no idea tommorw has in store for you.
Be a good dad. Do the things you enjoy and better day will come soon.

Hello Judge. We loved your video.

Don’t worry about the house, alimony, or child support. Get yourself a good lawyer to figure all of that out. Right now focus on yourself and your young kid.
Eventually download yourself a dating app and the rest will work itself out. If you see your ex-wife’s friends on the app, just remember that it is fair game now.

I am going to be as simple and to the point as I can.
When all the dust from this change settles, and it will, you will find a new normal. And often times, that new normal will be leaps and bounds of a better quality life than what you were trying to hold on to.
I didn’t date for the first 18 months after mine. Take some time to figure out what you truly want. You’ll know when the time is right.
Use the time away from your child to recharge and when you have them go all in. Rinse, repeat.
Enjoy the ride. Life goes on…

I want to hear this story. What did she do, what were the signs etc. OP is a selfish arse for not sharing.

When you start to get back out there and start wondering how some of those beautiful women you see are single... just know that somebody, somewhere, got tired of her shite and that's why she's single.

Figure out your schedule with your kid. Then if you have some vacation time to take a couple trips by yourself. Also take your kid with you on some trips. Just need to get away some. Also don’t worry about dating. You will be surprised at the amount of set ups you will get from friends and friends of friends. But beware, you been out the game for a long time. Seen many guys blow it because they don’t know how to play anymore.

Correct. I'm almost a decade older than the OP and dating after my divorce was the most fun I had in 20+ years. Divorce has been a blessing for me.

You are only as old as you allow yourself to feel.
Grow a sack and get out there. Sleep around. Develop new hobbies. Make the most of every day you have with your kid. Stop being a homebody that feels old and miserable.

You’re in a much better situation than she is, take some time to get your finances straight before you start dating

I’m 36 and my wife and I have a 7 month old son. We bought a house last year. Everything was falling into place, even though we’d had a rough patch the year prior.
So are y'all some of those idiots who think having a baby will solve your marital problems?
If you and the wife are struggling, why the frick would you bring another person in to it?
People are so fricking stupid. The meteor can't hit soon enough.
