My wife is my best friend. There were times in our marriage where I thought divorce was the only way I could be happy.

We've been together for 20'ish years, give or take. I feel like our marriage is stronger now than ever before.

There were times that I researched divorce attorneys but I'm relatively certain that I'll die married to this woman. I'll never take that for granted though.

I’ve been divorced 3 times. They all were different but hard in their on way. The first one led to a drinking problem the second led to rehab the 3rd gave me a daughter I get to spend time with without someone else planning the time. I have a good relationship with each. Keep your head up, don’t use alcohol to make it better. Do listen to your single friends saying we have to go out every night. And most importantly, the end will come when there’s nothing to fight over. Once you get there you realize life goes on.

Yeah I've had to deal with it on it when I got divorced. My advice is not to talk to her for quite a while, otherwise you'll give her the power to get into your head and really really screw you up. Go find somebody else to frick pronto, tinder was a great outlet there for a while

Church, exercise, counseling, time. Life and most problems are temporary.

Are y’all talking about banging like 40 year old women? That sounds so scary

1. Avoid any serious new romantic relationships for at least a few years.
2. You are not emotionally stable and you need to work on yourself.
3. If you have kids, spend any extra time with them and strengthen that bond.
4. Exercise and eat healthy and get in the best shape of your life.
5. Read the Bible and pray every day and determine what you want to accomplish in this lifetime.
6. Do not drink or drug. It only numbs the healing and slows your progress.

In short, become the kind of man that other men and other women want to be around. The kind of man who sacrifices for others and leads by example. A man of high character.

You might find your soon to be ex wife falls in love with all over again. It happened to my uncle and they have been remarried for 30 years.

Find a new companion, dog, cat girl etc. It’s rough for about 6 months then things gradually start to get better and after about a year you barely think about them.

Do the short term thing for awhile then look for something more stable when it’s out of your system.




Same rules for when a dog dies. Hard to be sad with a new puppy. Hard to be down with new poon.

Like he said do this short term. Dating apps. frick buddy apps. Young fellas on here help him out as to which are real and which are bullshite. I am too old and too married to actually know.

Hang out. Go places. Go to bars. BUT!! Stay in your lane. Don't think youre gonna meet the same girls you did before. You are older now. The women you chase need to be in your age range.

Any wildly young girl that will go after an older man?? Daddy issues crazy, or just trying to work you.

I started jogging at a local park. Got up to like 10 miles a night. It was free and I was broke. Also made me tired enough to go to deep sleep. Days linked to days then weeks and then all better

Give your wife a 2 - 3 week break from your kids. Take on all of the parenting responsibilities.

If you have work then find people to pick up your kids or feed them. Give your wife a major break from parenting.

This move has saved several marriages. You have nothing to lose.

This was my situation. She initiated it and tried her best to wipe me out financially. She spiraled without me around to keep her on a good path. I heard last week that she’s in ICU dealing with kidney failure.

The healing power of a young women’s vagina is amazing. I suggest trying it.

I personally used massive amounts of alcohol and other women. Both worked out both poorly and fantastically.

Have enough fun to where it balances your pain.
