    Let me tell you a couple of things, my brother. First of all… There is no woman on earth that is worth losing your life over. Not a single one. There is also not a single one that is worth going to prison over. I am glad you have seemingly got past those thoughts. The second thing I would tell you is that getting divorced sucks but being divorced is bloody awesome! I would strongly encourage you to get divorced in a civilized manner, and then focus on your child and yourself for at least a year, probably at least two. No women. No dating. No relationships for at least one to two years. Now is the time to focus on yourself and your child. You have to get right with yourself and comfortable with yourself as an individual person if you want to have any hopes of having a long-term relationship again. You cannot be “needy“ because need is a great short term basis for a relationship. I am hungry, you feed me. I am sick, you nurse me. I am lonely, you keep me company. But it’s a terrible basis for a long-term relationship and it does not work. So no relationships at all for one to two years! Focus entirely on yourself. Don’t be afraid to be a little bit selfish. You’re going to get through this! Keep the faith, my brother.

      I didn't have such a positive outlook after the break up. I enjoyed my new freedom but my ex went nuclear with the assets and my son. I'm only now, 17yrs later, having such a better outlook on life. I guess because I don't have to communicate with her anymore.

      I have noticed some of my male relatives lost their jobs after the divorce. Is it from their exes spreading lies. When my dad's second wife divorced him she called his former boss who he was trying to get a job with and told them my dad had killed their cat. Even though she knew coyotes had killed the neighbors cat 2 weeks before.

    Rachel, thank you for your content, it’s really helped me through this tough time. I wish I could do your course but my wife of 30 years left me while I’m ill from long covid and her incessant derision and downright nastiness. Now I’m in a financial mess from medical bills and the costly divorce. I’m in the gray divorce club with two grown daughters and a hormonal wife. We’ve signed the paperwork but the judge doesn’t sign until the first day of autumn (which I find to be fitting). I sincerely want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help though. I can tell you are genuinely wanting to help us guys navigate through this tough time. Our 31st anniversary is this Wednesday the 14th of August and I’m being hit the hardest right now. Last August was our last vacation together as a couple and I’m being hit with all kinds of emotions. I’m a strong resilient man and I will not only survive this but I’ll thrive. I suggest stoicism for you guys that are going through this hell, it along with Rachael and the folks like her that have made this journey acceptable.

It’s been three months since I found out that my marriage was done. I have tried to work things out. Never cheated seven years together five years and marriage. I was loyal to my fucking bones..

Never thought about suicide I love myself too! We had a daughter together. I also have a son from my first marriage. My kids love me and need me!

    We men are just now learning the skill of sharing our perceptions with each other. None of us have ever been prepared for the emotional pit that divorce brings. Our society has continued to push all men into the belief that if you work hard and fly straight, life will be good. A divorce is not only survivable, but in most cases, it provides an impetus to become our best selves. Never stare at your feet, always look to the horizon and you will overcome. The rage of betrayal has no equivalent in your experience. Depression occurs when we are forced to turn the rage inward. There is no quick solution, there is no philosophical cure for the anger, you must learn to use it as fuel for change. I wish all men the best in the inward conflict, never let it destroy you. After 8 years it still burns but I have found that I have become a much stronger person from the struggle.

    I was in the exact situation not more than a couple of months ago. While I agree “ no woman is worth committing suicide” I don’t think that’s what the suicidal feelings are from. It’s the the icing on the cake that sooo many of us have. It’s decades worth of holding in feelings coupled with the feeling of being left after all we have done and not even seen the divorce coming. Rachael and her program definitely helped save my life as well as I reached out as a last resort. It works, that’s all I can say. Anyone in the same situation, just give her the opportunity.

    another thing is that i did the same process as far as writing my thoughts done. i found that when you do this you can go back as many times as you need to edit and refine your thoughts and zero in in a logical manner to effectively talk yourself down. it’s an incredibly effective tool to help you put things into perspective. don’t rush it, your thoughts will come to you over periods of time and your logical brain will take command. another way, as opposed to writing your thoughts down because you can’t for some reason, would be to
    talk to yourself out loud. i found that when i did this it seemed that i came to logic much easier because the voice i was listening to was a friend giving me advice. seems a bit kooky but it worked for me.

I that time heals all wounds but I will never put myself in that position again. I cannot and will not trust a woman again, vows are for a reason. Great content but I am prepared to be alone, I don’t care how much money I make if I am good looking or not, it’s not worth it! Focus on god, children and work!

    ted- what we men have to realize is that because we love and feel the need to provide,
    women can turn us into “indentured servants”
    and they reveal that they have a grifter mentality. love ensnares us into believing that we are the kings of our domain while women reveal that we really aren’t.

I am destroyed and pretty much absolutely feel like I'm here but not here if ya get that. Nothing more then I want to just have her back. I cant afford hardly anything but need some help cause Ive never felt this way with any other relationships.

    I feel your pain, Ted. Same boat. It does get easier in some realms, but anything with a child obviously adds complexity. My child will be 2.5 hours away from me, and il have her every other weekend. That will be the toughest part for me. The ex shows their true colors amidst it at all. And they are NOT worth it. We will be there for our children in one way or another. Its not the life we expected to live. I didnt sign up for this. But, the universe works in mysterious ways, even if we cant explain it. We’re all going to make it.

    For over 10 years I was my girlfriend and her 2 kids and our 2 dogs. I bought the house they live in and took care of them spending over 6k every month. My partner I found out this year was raped at 8 she just told me one day she Said. Docyou think anyone would be as fucked up as I am if I wasn't raped when I was 8? She told me she was a alchilic on our 3rd date. But kept this a secret ? I would have gotten her someone to talk to and me too. She lost custody of her kids when they were babies and I found out through a friend a few weeks ago she cheated on her husband. I always thought he left because of her anger issues.
    For 5 years her parents were dying I took care of her dad while he was dying. She started to distance herself from me after his death. She went into pary menopause as well. And I had some issues with adhd but was always loving. She even slapped me on day repeatedly and I got shingles
    She never said I'm sorry her 27 years old never made me feel welcome in my own house.
    She temporarily separated from me she called it 6 moths ago amd gave me a list of things to do ...I did them all and she never gave me a chance. No I have to sue her to have the house sold.
    I haven't seem my dogs that I love more than life
    I'm suicidal every day. It was our 11th anniversary on the 11th a dew days ago and I almost killed myself and the day after. And I tried to kill myself before I met her and she knows that. She caused me so much pain knowing I would probably die. And I want to die. I can't sleep without nightmares that wake me up crying. I've lost 50 pounds I have been starving myself. I'm loosing my business of 25 years..
    People like my mom texted me today saying I can do this..I told her to let me go . I can't do this she's been married for 55 years has never experienced what I have how would she know what I'm going through. I can't look out my window of people walking their dogs I can't control my mind with memories that crush me about every 20 seconds all day and night. I don't sleep anymore I'm afraid of my dreams.
    She says we have different goals and dreams that's her reason. I don't think I'll be here long and all that will be left is shit like this I've written on some you tube video.
    She crushed every single part of me. I haven't lol in 6 months I have lost every single part of who I was.
    She did this knowing it would end my life so she would get thevhiuse it's going to take a year for the court to force the sale and I'd say there's a 90 percent chance I won't be here and then she gets it.
    I dont know what else to say. She verbally abused me for years I never argued with her or ever called her anything bad. I snapped 10.5 years later and smashed a vacume and through a chair. From hundreds of verbal assaults and even slapping and I snapped once a a little bit once before a few months earlier. She didn't participate in couples counciling she was defiant never taking amu blame. She wanted me to go on meds see a therapist do a few other things I did them all she gave me 12 hours of her time in 5 months 12 hours
    She's living in the home I bought with her ungrateful 2 adult kids with .y dogs I live more than. Life..
    How do you survive this ? I'm asking how

      Simple, not to be condescending or mean, but therapists and counselors make $$$$ on divorce. Solving marital issues and problems are worth solving. Emotions and feelings are high when divorce or the threat occurs. Trust me, if you love your ex, do everything you can to work it out, even if it seems impossible and the odds are against you. Find a counselor or therapist that will help you save the marraige. You married because of love. Love always wins and worth fighting for no matter how hard it is. I still love my ex-wife after 26 years apart and its too late for me. Don’t make my mistake and listen to why everyone tells you to walk away.

He is the best (and most ethical) coach I know when it comes to saving a marriage. There is a lot of content and programs out there that take advantage of people's fear and pain, but his is really good. For women who want to fight for their marriages when the husband isn't ready to work on it, I recommend Laura Doyle's content.
