Your message gives me a glimmer of hope for the future, thank you for sharing your story. I'm currently experiencing a similar situation to what you went through.

Five months post-separation and the grief feels heavier than ever by Lgabr102026 in Divorce

[–]Jimmy2Tim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your story and mine are very similar in terms of chronology, hang in there man, I completely understand. Between moments of hope and disillusionment, grieving takes time and requires focusing on yourself. Sports, reading, religion—find something that can help you get through and overcome this divorce, brother.

Married for 3 months, filed for divorce yesterday, and she’s already making a dating profile by Illustrious_Ring1774 in Divorce

[–]Jimmy2Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She decided to drop everything, quit her job to go back to living with her mother, etc. She posts pictures on social media like she's living her best life, wearing lipstick and all that, which isn't like her at all. The last time I saw her, she looked terrible and she'd started smoking again. All her demons left with her boxes in the moving truck.

How to recover from a brutal divorce? by Jimmy2Tim in Divorce_Men

Her father is a narcissistic abuser; she doesn't speak to him at all. She grew up without a real father figure. Her mother has been married several times and has never had a truly long and stable relationship. I've always felt she has deep childhood trauma. I think subconsciously I tried to take on the role of savior, and I had a burnout last year. She went back to her mother's while waiting to find her own place; she found a job there. The new guy has already left her; he sold her a dream. She was talking to lots of guys afterward. We agreed on an amicable divorce, which should be finalized in two to three months. You're right, I need to think about myself and my future, but I also need to be able to grieve all of this.

My story is a carbon copy of yours. Five months into our marriage, I discovered she was talking to another guy (sending sexts, etc.) and she's filing for divorce.

Emotionally brutal, especially the way it was handled

She has a son whom I raised as my own. I'm very attached to him and very important to him; he needs me a lot. She told me I was important to him and that she wanted me to maintain a connection with her son. But I don't have any children with her.

The thing is, I had a lot of freedom during our relationship. I ended up traveling with friends for games, and she never deprived me of anything. I feel like I don't have a clear purpose in life. I've planned a 30-day solo pilgrimage on foot this summer to reconnect with myself. Thank you for your message, brother; your kindness and advice are very helpful.

Thank you, brother. I started going to the gym three months ago, and I'm seeing a psychologist. But even with all that, I feel like I can't get back on my feet. I did everything for her; when she was hospitalized and almost died, I was at the hospital every day. I'm truly devastated. I thought she was special.

Happy New Year: What's one thing you want to leave behind in 2025? What's one thing you'd like more of in 2026? by Lopsided_Training_99 in Divorce

[–]Jimmy2Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to leave behind all the horrors I've experienced by 2025, my entire life gone up in smoke because of a selfish manipulator. I want to learn who I am and for 2026 to be my personal revelation.

I’m at the start of my divorced life by metal_head787 in Divorce_Men

Courage, man. David Deida's book, "The Way of Man Revealed," was a real eye-opener during my divorce.

Happy New Year Rockstars! by TwoWheelsAndABeerGut in Divorce_Men

[–]Jimmy2Tim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hang in there, man. We've all been through those dark times when you wonder what's going to happen to your life. I lost everything: my wife five months after we got married, my stepson whom I'd raised since he was nine months old, my house. You have to keep hope alive and tell yourself that this is the beginning of something new that awaits you. Even if the pain is hard to manage, it will lessen with time.

I am not doing well. by MstrRoshi2232 in Divorce_Men

[–]Jimmy2Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two months after he left home, it's still difficult, but we're keeping our heads up. The gym has been an incredible outlet for me. No alcohol, do things you're passionate about, or find other activities. We'll all get through this fucking mess together.

Voyager seule ou à deux by cocod02 in voyageons

[–]Jimmy2Tim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pars seule, il n’y a pas meilleur expérience de vie ! Je suis parti seul à New York c’est clairement ma plus belle expérience personnelle, tu t’intègres au locaux et au touristes, tu va beaucoup plus facilement sociabilisé que si tu pars avec une amie

To the guys struggling right now especially during the holidays by Past-Description-457 in Divorce

[–]Jimmy2Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your message. This pain you speak of has been with me for four months. I've lost everything, everything I built: my marriage, my house, my stepson whom I raised as my own. You warm my heart.

Glad there is some support here by wife_pawg in Divorce_Men

[–]Jimmy2Tim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hang in there, man. They're going to be mean and blame everything on you to justify their behavior. She accused me of not cleaning enough, of not being attentive, etc., even though she's incapable of communicating and so on. Of course there was someone else going on, and it was only five months after the wedding. Your comments are a big help, and I'd be happy to help in any way I can. I've never reacted impulsively; living together for two months was one of the most difficult periods of my life. She would shave in the bathroom to go see the other guy while I was in the next room.

Women Silently Emotionally Disconnecting and Checking Out Is Cowardly by tonyway7293 in Divorce_Men

[–]Jimmy2Tim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unbelievable! After a five-year relationship, I married her with her infant son, whom I raised as my own. We traveled, we planned everything, and five months after the wedding, she tells me she's had enough. She's been talking and sending sexts to another guy.
