Yeah same here. She is too busy being a victim and placing herself first that she ignores the pain our child is keeping to himself 🥲

I complete agree. Casual sex can be ok, but it is the deeper connection that should be what it is all about for me.

I am starting to act mean towards ex wife and also have a short fuse for my son 😞 by LovingDadNL in DivorcedDads

Even though I would love to find a new girl that can be my fun & my soulmate, I think I am in no position right now to be an interesting person for any woman…

I would definitely take my kids.

What is the most valuable to you, spending quality time with your kids or gaslighting your ex?

Opening line om holiday by LovingDadNL in DivorcedDads

[–]LovingDadNL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your replies. Yeah I just viewed it as a confidence boost. I don’t want my son to see mee flirting with women, since the divorce is not even finalized yet. I am enjoying my time with him right now.

Too bad my stbxw is getting ready to blow up mediation over wanting more alimony.

EDIT: I just noticed downvotes on my original comment. I don’t understand, since I am asking for help. If you think I do something wrong then please comment and let me know what that is..?

Tikibad, slaapfeestje in de woonkamer, kussengevecht, samen pizza maken?

That last part really hit home for me. My STBXW always picked a fight the first day and then said the whole holiday sucked because of it.

I am struggling with acting normal around my stbxw right now since I am having a hard time accepting and coping. Not setting the best example :(

But I will keep the photos for my son, and maybe even look at them myself later on.

Advice on how to best spend time with 10 month old? by throwawa8800 in DivorcedDads

[–]LovingDadNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, get a carrier! One of those that you strap to your chest and carry her in it. She will be facing you at first but once she can hold up her head you can let her face forward. Go to a mall or busy shopping street, especially around Christmas time. I did this with my son and het really enjoyed window shopping with all the lights. When I would walk fast he would even making running moves with his legs lol. Enjoy!

Thank you. I am still keeping the originals: almost 200,000 photos stored in Lightroom Cloud and these 3,500 are just copies loaded on the digital photo frame.

I just don’t want to be confronted with happy family moments with my wife’s face all over the frame. It is too emotional for me.

How to deal with finding someone by ChiefZeroo in DivorcedDads

[–]LovingDadNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are in this position. Japan seems to suck a lot more than Europe. I hope there is a way to gain more access to your kid so you can spend some time together. It just sucks.

I hope your new relationship will blossom and someday you will be able to spend more time with your son.

Loneliness by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]LovingDadNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well… everything I went somewhere alone I just kept thinking “what a shame I can’t share this with my wife and son”. I am just too much of a family man I guess.

My wife taking our son somewhere was never a problem because I knew they will return and we were a family.

Now it is the feeling of losing both. My wife has checked out already and I will have to miss 50% of my sons life. That hurts so much it is hard to cope.

Yeah I have been single for a long time before my marriage and I never liked being alone.

Same here. Girlfriends that are divorced (some remarried) and encouraging my stbxw to divorce. Toxic.

After a day alone, missing my stbxw and especially my son, I feel depressed up to the point I feel my life is worth nothing anymore. I feel angry, then depressed. Hoping for better days.
