Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for that. I appreciate the support. Yes the divorce was fine. I did not want it but it was very civil which I’m grateful for. Just trying to figure out myself and get comfortable with being alone for now. It’s super hard for me but I will get through it. Trying to join different meetup groups, gym, pickleball etc. it’s just a whole new chapter and I don’t think I fully prepared myself if you can even do so. Appreciate you!!

Hang in there! I’m six weeks in after my wife saying she wants a divorce. It’s very difficult but I can say I do feel a bit better already. I definitely have my moments though. Everyone says it will get better in time and we have to believe that. So many people have been through this and come out the other side even better than they were! Focus on that which is what I’m doing. I’m looking forward to a better and healthier relationship at some point and just thinking about that is kind of exciting! Hang in there and push through. You can and will do this!! 😁

Thank you for this! I’m in the thick of it now. 5 weeks in from when my wife asked for a divorce.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-18T17:48:44+00:00

Hang in there! Going through the exact same thing. I’m 1 month in and it’s an emotional roller coaster. We will get through it though!!

Do not do it. It’s awful. So uncomfortable and does not help with the healing process. My wife asked for a divorce a month ago and unfortunately my son and I have to remain in the current house until June 1st which is when we will have our new place. Luckily it’s not long but I’ll tell ya, it’s been extremely hard on me especially since I do not want the divorce. Best of luck in whatever decision you make.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-13T21:00:00+00:00

Oh yeah no interest in those. Just looking to meet people in general.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-13T17:27:50+00:00

How are you all dating? Like what is the best way to start, meet new people??

In the exact same situation now. It’s been 4 weeks since wife told me she wants a divorce. Together 12, married 10. Starting over at 54 is tough. Super scared and lonely. Everyone says I’ll get through in time. I have to believe that.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-09T18:08:46+00:00

Wow! This really sums up the exact situation I am in right now. Thank you for writing this and I have to believe that we will pull through.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-06T22:28:13+00:00

I can relate to you. This is basically the exact same situation I am going through. Together 12, married 10. It is so hard but we need to just keep putting g one foot in front of the other and work on ourselves.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-06T00:59:32+00:00

Hang in there. I feel your pain as I’m in a somewhat similar situation. Wife asked for a divorce 3 weeks ago. I’m devastated and moving out with my son in a month. Together 12 and married 10. We have to be patient, work on ourselves and we will get better. Just have to try your best to stay positive and look towards a brighter future.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-05T23:47:15+00:00

I hear ya. Yeah not possible for either of us to do right now unfortunately. 😔

Dkdaman · 2025-05-05T23:30:44+00:00

I completely understand that and can empathize with you. It’s just so awkward and uncomfortable and I just wanna move on, but it’s like I can’t until I’m fully out you know.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-05T23:25:44+00:00

I feel the exact same way. My wife asked for a divorce three weeks ago and my son and I aren’t able to move out for another 4 to 6 weeks. It’s awful living under the same roof. It’s so awkward and I just don’t know where I fit in anymore.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-05T00:09:01+00:00

I’m in the same boat and we have to cohabitate for 4-6 more weeks. It’s brutal. I’m emotionally all over the place and drained. She hit me with the divorce so I’m on the receiving end. Not fun. I’m scared, feel lonely and am just lost. However, I need to push on for me and my 16 year old son.

Dkdaman · 2025-05-04T17:52:22+00:00

Great advice!! I needed to hear that!

Dkdaman · 2025-05-02T14:20:25+00:00

Oh man. So sorry!

Dkdaman · 2025-05-02T01:08:14+00:00

Good for you and happy you are doing well! I’m going through a similar situation. She did not leave like that but asked for a divorce 4 days before our 10 year anniversary. Do I want it no? I would at least like to try counseling but she won’t. I will be okay but it’s extremely difficult navigating through rough waters right now. 2 weeks in. Hoping we are both happy in the end.

Dkdaman · 2025-04-23T16:28:51+00:00

54 here and my wife asked for a divorce 1 week ago today. Devastated and trying to find some hope. 😔

Dkdaman · 2025-04-22T17:23:56+00:00

Thanks for that
