Men & Divorce - Help For Life After Marriage

When it comes to men & divorce, help is not as easily available as you might think. Because of the mans traditional role as breadwinner society and the media especially tend to focus on the plight of the woman who often ends up with the kids as well and their financial difficulties and so on and so forth. Nothing against this, but it is not just women who have it rough after divorce these days and I dare say even years ago!

Recent studies have shown that it is actually men who have the hardest time coping after a divorce not women. There could be many reasons for this but a few common problems seen are:

  • Men handle emotional turmoil badly
  • Men often lose custody of children adding to stress
  • Men are often more dependant on the support of their wife emotionally where women have a better network of friends and family to help them
  • Men are often not used to looking after themselves

Not all of these may apply to everyone but the emotional toll on a man after a divorce can cause depression, anxiety and often leads to some seriously foolish actions that come from bottled up feelings and mans greatest asset and liability; the need to do SOMETHING.

This is where men need to stop and think about things. Some men will hit the dating scene too soon without addressing their emotions and others may wallow in depression for a similar reason and that is they do not know how to deal with the whole experience and there is hardly any support for men after divorce.

However if there is one thing men are good at it is solving problems as long as they have the right tools. So in this situation you have to look at yourself and your journey after divorce as a project to work on, you need a plan, you need to investigate things, you need tools be they people to lean on, information of other people in the same situation and so on and from this you can slowly come to grips with this new life because it will never be the same again … but you can rebuild it stronger and with more insight than before.

For problem-solvers, I have a book to recommend. It will help WITH the divorce, not life after it. But God knows anyone going through a divorce (and that includes me -- I'm on the other side now) could use help. It's a book providing the secrets to a reasonable divorce, "Divorce Buddy System," by J. RIchard Kulerski. Kulerski is a lawyer who's been handling divorces for more than 40 years -- and he shows you how to get your spouse to join forces with you to keep your divorce simple and out of court. This book takes divorce books to a whole new level. I highly recommend it.

Don't let divorce shatter you... I am sure it was the most priced relationship for you...but nothing worth your happiness. So live a happy life, go for divorce counseling if you need professional help and get back to life with a bang!
