Feeling so alone

Remarkable_Egg492 · 2024-05-20T00:14:51+00:00

I'm right there with you, my wife started fucking everything and everyone she possibly could. The depression can get overwhelming at times. I found a friend who recently decided to start seeing someone else because she was sick of my drama that comes with a psycho ex and kids. I'm so lonely. I'm physically ill. I don't know if I can ever trust anyone ever again. I also have my own anger issues and none of this makes it any better. I'm literally on the edge of just shutting down but I have to keep going because I have my kids and they need me.

You’re going to need to find a circle of people to talk to about this stuff, friends/family/therapist/pastor or some variation but I would avoid confiding in mutual friends and family members. Something i came to realize is that no one understands this type of stuff than other men who have gone through it, I had no perspective or understanding before my wife left me but now I see people who have been through divorce in a completely different light. So if you have a close friend or family member who has been through this type of trauma reach out to them. Theres also in person divorce mens support groups.

Fix your self brotha! Do it for you and do it for your kids. It might take months or years, but now you have the time to make it right with yourself and them. I’m divorced and finalized 2/24 and filed BK 4/19. Starting from the ground up and the most important thing is that I’m free. I have 2 kids ages 4/5 but my main focus is to be the best version of myself for me and them.

We men have to move forward and keep living for a purpose. You have one. I feel you that you are heartbroken, but keep pushing to get better every day.

You got this!!

Curious, why are you divorcing? I'm early 40s and wondering what might lie ahead.

After 30 years.....grey divorce is the worst. You'll be alone unless you are successful and provide a benefit to society. This is the man's path and we are not taught this early on.

The general consensus is do not leave your house until the divorce is over.

It's your house still. You don't gain anything by being a Martyr in your head.
