Spending life after being separated

How are you managing your life after being divorced, tried dating apps but nobody wants to be with such a person. Everyone thinks its your fault at the end of the day. Would love to hear how you guys are spending your life alone.

Work on yourself buddy, give yourself best of the company of great books, sports , music and things to excel in life. Things/people will come and go, just like you.

Don't waste the best of the time you have your prime , till 35. Do the utmost, otherwise the guilt of missing that would be worse. Just strive on the best things. In between you get someone to walk beside, go. But focus on yourself please !

Sorry, but it will still always feel 🙃 27 here , I too feel a roaler coaster of emotions all along. Please, get strong(not stiff, rather the one with clarity and compassion at the same time).

Have clarity, life is not there to amuse and make us feel good(you can clearly see this, as you mentioned yourself🙃).
Once you start living with this, and giving 100 percent to what is utmost important, slowly comes a time , you start to love your hardships. Trust me, it does happen. You will feel satisfied with even a bruise, in such a case. Go on break your own cultured and conditioned life itself, the world needs you, there are crores of things to be fixed in you yourself and the world. Everything isn't good at all , and time is running. Just start from wherever you can. Be a warrior and live fullest with contentment. And work, more than thinking 🙃 Lots of love ♥️

They r right, u r the problem, u got divorced, and u r out looking for a partner, this explains how lonely u r in your life, no one wants to be with a lonely guy, jumping from one relationship to another is frowned upon and u got divorced, yet out there just because u r feeling alone, go to a therapist first.

This is the problem with most of the girls, they jump to the conclusion without knowing anything, plus read my post properly i never mentioned that i an lonely.

unless you want to get married again : Look at the bright side, people go for a no marriage lifestyle anyway and are still happy at the end of the day.

Get a doggo of your own, any pet for that matter (company). Make a ton of money because you won’t have to be in the rat race for too long, it’s just you and no other financial responsibilities like raising a kid (too expensive these days). Once you save a hefty sum, retire early, get a home next to a beach or travel the world with it.

If you truly seek companionship still, get yourself a girlfriend and escape commitment. Everything’s possible given you save a lot early on! ;)

Difficult to get a partner, rest everything can be achieved definitely

Maybe work on being alone and happy buddy. There’s a difference between being alone and being lonely.

I saw other replies you gave, it all starts when you accept it and stop saying it’s a sad situation. It is, fr. But we are men and it’s upto you to make the most out of your current situation. Skip the therapist route, take it up as a blessing to skip the bullshit in life and love for yourself. For the lonely part, get on 2 apps : Bumble and Hinge. You’re young, wait to first get to know the person before telling them you’re divorced straight away.

Sometimes it’s not the person people reject, it’s the unfamiliarity and societal conditioning they act on. And if they still leave after knowing you a bit, let them go. The one who is okay will be okay with your present!

@AppleManiac See I have also been recently seperated, if you are a man, focus on your health, career and family members.

Also I have adapted a Mantra, Whatever is yours it will come to you at the right time till then go with the flow.

Bro, come join us for regular cricket matches if you are in Delhi. It will bring a nice change.

BLR have more groups than Delhi, try to find a team. It took me almost 6 months to find regular team but now it is part of my weekends and sometime weekdays also.
It will bring fresh change bro if you are into cricket, Or similar sport that you liked in childhood. It will give you a new perspective in life and you won't be bored. We who work in high intensity jobs have different coping mechanism. Try it and see if it helps, just a small suggestion from my side

If u start urself by others' standards, then u are going down the wrong path buddy. Yeah feeling alone is a 'part of the process' but people will judge u no matter what...so find a good hobby, some great friends and have a blast, pray well if u believe in God and find peace...I think accepting what has happened to you is key to rising above people's expectations of u...

This may be of no help, but still, pick if it feels right else just forget it. All human man or woman needs companionship, it might not feel till you hit 30 but when you see most your peers or friends circle now busy building life with their own family - things can feel lonely. I would suggest go out for travel indefinitely for a while(not as a tourister but traveller, slow traveller, not rushing places to sight seeing, but stay like a local, away from the noise, advice, dating apps etc. If you can work remotely, live like a digital nomad - nothing like it. Slow down. Don't need to go all fancy, pick a place, live frugally or splurge however you swing - reflect how you want to lead your remaining years. Write down what went wrong- What kind of a partner you want, What kind of a life you want out of life, What's the worst can happen, what's the best can happen - write your heart out - make your heart, brain bleed, let it out - grieve the loss - process it out of your system so that you can move on properly full and final. Try new things you might have not tried or were afraid to try bcoz log kya kahenge or any bs. Meet people - be genuinely curious - I would definitely suggest go volunteer somewhere - if you have decided to stay some place for a while, volunteer at that place - give back to the community (expect nothing in return - serve the community) If you do your Karma, universe gives it back in some ways - whatever is in your fate will not miss you - it will come to you + it will give you a sense of belonging+company (will be non romantic/platonic people you meet or help in the daily lives) You can serve the community with the gifts (talents or skills) you have - you could teach, help the people build something, work for a cause. You need to build up your self esteem and get you out of self pity mode. And no I don't think hiding the fact you're divorced, may attract a woman at first but the chances of it sustaining in the long run is thin - you don't need to hurt your heart again - be honest about it if you feel you meet a worthy woman during this time - talk about it tell them you want genuine partner but will go slow - let them decide if they want to be with you - be with someone also wants to be with you (the right one will come along provided you have done some reflection and done your Karma, given yourself some timeout) There is light at the end of tunnel my friend, hope you find yours ❤️‍🩹🤞

Whatever people say, need of belonging to someone is one the primary need we have. Loneliness is a silent killer of potential that a human can achieve. If you have friends or family and they are cooperative, try to be with them. Share with them. People at this age starts getting busy in their own life, so you become more and more lonely. I am telling you from my own experience. I am married. We live in under the same roof and sleep in same bed but there is no connection left. That's lonelier. I have no real friends. Because of my wife even relations with my family are tensed. So I can feel your pain.

I have no advise for you but if you get lonely you can always message me on this platform. Being anonymous helps sometimes.

Be resilient.

Life after separation is indeed difficult. And others around us can’t fathom the problems that we face. For them, we are the free birds.

Like others have stated here, keep yourself occupied in the things that you enjoy. It will help you learn new skills and enhance your personality, boost your confidence.

Dating is difficult indeed. Remember that you don’t have to entertain anyone who’s judgmental of your marital status. Keep faith that you’ll meet the right person.

Count your blessings. You are in a good place professionally. Divorce at 28 is difficult. However, The bright side is that you have such a big life ahead. You can learn from your past mistakes and build a strong foundation of a good relationship with someone new.

Keep patience. Have faith. Everything will turn out good.

This advise can be difficult to follow at times. But this is the best that I can say.
