You say you make men here? Then I'm in the right place.

Obligatory longtime lurker.

I discovered TRP and MRP at the tail end of my marriage. It was too little, too late. By then, my STBX could see me as nothing but beta. And all the nightmare stories of shit marriages and obscenely harpies wives you read about here, I lived. She belittled me, hit me, but the most memorably demeaning thing she did on two separate occasions was spit in my face.

The state I live in requires a one-year separation before filing. The time has passed and we'll be filing next week. I'm hurt, I'm fucking scared and I am absolutely livid with myself for being such a drunken, shit captain and allowing my life to come to this.

My finances are in shambles. I'm barely hanging on. I have no friends here (we moved to the U.S. to split up--long story--but I'm in a city with no support system.).

The two good things I've got at the moment are: My daughter still thinks I'm awesome (she's 8) and I've been lifting consistently for the last few months and I'm showing gains.

I have a job that requires a unique skill set but I'm accepting that I'm very much underpaid in exchange for flexibility so I can handle things smoothly with my daughter. I've started a new business but I'm having a tough time getting it going.

I think that's the basics. Where the fuck do I go from here?

I'm on mobile, so this is only the basics. Happy to answer any clarifying questions.
