coping after divorce

I feel the same after 2 years, that I cannot reconcile the loving caring partner with the person he became. My daughter says that person no longer exists and we are grieving for him.
All the same it is unbelievable to see a person so close to you change into someone you don't recognise at all.
Some good advice from others such as try not to refuse any invitations, try something new, always try and have something to look forward to. Look after yourself as you would a grieving friend. They are the losers here as they have lost a genuine person, we have lost the 'new and substandard version' of our partner.
We had the best of them and the new partner has what they have become!
The pain and sadness doesn't go away but it gets less and you learn to live with it.
Good luck

You need to move on with your life Garthend.

I know its difficult, I struggled for a while but now Im getting on with my life, I had a couple of dates, nothing to serious, thank god, but its nice getting out there and trying "new" things.

So this is what you should do. Enjoy doing other things, going different places or visiting things/places you've always wanted to do but never had the time.

You say you still love your ex-wife, I still love my X-husband but its a love like you have for a family member or a very close friend. There is a difference. Maybe you feel like I do.

I wish you well in everything you do.

3 months isn't long g. THe feelings and emotions are still very raw after 3 months. You will get over this and start to move on emotionally.Just give yourself time.

Look after yourself, distract yourself and talk about things here on wiki - talking from experience,these things helped me
