Is there life after divorce? Divorce is a horrible experience for anyone, even if you split with your partner on good terms the feelings of rejection, failure and stress will still be around. No matter how hard you try some relationships and marriages just don't work. It's not a nice thought but nearly half of all marriages will end in divorce. There are many reasons why couples end their marriages. Some of which are lack of communication, feelings of insecurity, adultery, lack of a sexual relationship. People react differently, not everyone will feel depressed and emotional about a divorce, some may feel relieved and happy. But for those struggling to come to terms with separation it is hard to find information and advice on how best to cope.

Jan 17, Once hot, now not...

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:54:36 GMT
I MET LADY ALMOST YEAR. WE WENT PRETTY WELL AT STARTOFF. THRU THE YEAR WE ALWAY CHERISHED EACH OTHER AND NOW FOR LAST TWO WEEKS SHE SEEMS DRIFTING AND NOT SAYING I LOVE U ANYMORE. SHE IS PROCESSED TO GETTING DIVORCE BUT WE ALWAY SUPPORT EACH OTHER TIL RECENTLY. SHE CUT DOWN OUR COMMUNICATION TO MINIMAL IT HURTS ME GREATLY NOW AND CANT HANDLE THE PAIN IN MY MIND AND HEART. I DO WANT TO SAVE THIS RELATIONSHIP BUT SHE SAID SHE NEVER SEEN US AS RELATIONSHIP AT FIRST. I KINDA LOST OR MISUNDERSTAND WHY... SHE SAID SHE STILL THINKING OF ME BUT THE WAY WE ROUTINED EVERYTHING IS POOFED PLS HELP ME THANKS L Dear L, Although I am not really sure what happened with your wife, I do understand the pain you are feeling. I see this often. People who dive head first into relationships are often the ones who jump out just as quickly, leaving the other person in a dust of confusion and bewiderment. It sounds like your wife got caught up in the "honeymoon" period of your relationship but can't deal with the day to day monotony which is really what makes relationships strong. She wants to live in a fairytale but that is just not realistic. Even though it is very personal, my advice is to not take this personally. She has probably done this before and will do this to the next man she falls "head over heels". She likes the romance and the drama, once things get boring she bolts. Connect with any support network you have, family and friends and you will get through this. Wishing emotional health and happiness, Melanie Cohn

Nov 19, "My husband wants a divorce after 15 years ..."

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:07:10 GMT
"My husband wants a divorce after 15 years. We have had to use credit cards to live because he went back to school to be a teacher and we could not afford it. Now he is almost done with school and wants a divorce. How do I get what I deserve from all this. We have a 12 year old son. I can't afford to fight this and neither can he. Please help me." I can hear the anger in your voice as I read your comments. It sounds like you feel betrayed by the spouse you sacrificed for and thought you would be with forever. It is ok to be angry and hurt. You have a right to your feelings. But there must be a time when you put those feelings to the side and think in practical terms. You and he will need to sit down together and hash out the nasty details of how you are going to split up the debt and custody. Make a promise to yourself to not allow the anger to carry on forever, it will only hurt you and hamper your happiness for the future. While he didn't betray you with a woman, he betrayed you by lying to you about his feelings.

Nov 19, "I'm having relationship problems with my wife..."

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:47:03 GMT
"I'm having relationship problems with my wife. She said she isn't happy and basically because I don't help around the house or with our daughter. I have started doing things around the house. To make a long story short how can I avoid this from being a threat and make my relationship stronger then ever." Sounds like you are on the right path. Listen to what your wife is saying and respond accordingly. And not just for a week or a month but from now on. Asking her what she needs and responding to them shows that you are really listening to her. Keep going!
