aside from the actual relationship itself, life seems to kind of be the same except for an annoying voice in my head that tells me I don't deserve love and that I should kill myself that seems to go off almost hourly

Too be clear, I do think I deserve love, and am not suicidal, these thoughts seem to be involuntary mostly.

I've historically been really good at talking to and flirting with women, and even though I never really stopped during our relationship, it's a lot harder now. I feel like I'm this weird creep thats trying to hop on his second wife right away. Flirting has always been provably harmless, but it feels considerably different when the flirting is coming from a divorced man.

to add on that: Women are considerably less attractive now. I feel just a month ago I could just get a big heaving crush on any ol' girl, but now that there's a sincerity behind my peeping, there's a lot less out there.

I think there's an Ben Franklin quote that goes "Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half closed after marriage" Well now my eyes are wide open again and it's not a pretty sight. I honestly don't know if my lifestyle and personality jives with a lot of modern women.

Sad it wasn't.

So Santa... if you enjoy flirting why not keep doing it? Why should it feel any different than it did when you were single. I feel like there's this huge stigma attached to the word "divorce" when in actuality it's a common part of many people's lives.

A couple of divorcees I know have had luck with online dating and finding fellow divorcees.

However, don't start dating until you get you have your shit together though. You should be happy with yourself before you try to start another relationship.

I mean I haven't had the privilege of flirting single in near a decade. It's the difference between house hunting when you have a nice house you're living in already, or house hunting when you live in a box behind Bennigans .

Yeah, I'm really not ready to start dating, but I would like to get a good idea of what is out there.

It's hard to say from my perspective. My wife isn't happy, she doesn't foresee a way to be happy while staying with me. There have always been big swaths of personal differences between the two of us, and while I've never really saw them as a problem to our relationship, she currently sees them as unsustainable. The tipping point was her coming to the realization this year that she doesn't want kids. Kids have always been my primary goal in life (no jokes plx), and while I'm willing to entertain the thought of not having kids, she's not really willing to entertain the thought with me. The truth is our aspirations forked into opposite directions and it's hard to imagine a way to merge them again.

I wish there was a more clear cut answer but there really isn't. I'm kind of hoping she will change her mind before she goes through with this but signs are pointing to that not being the case.

I don't regret the time spent with her, the last 7 years have been the happiest time of my life, and even if it didn't turn into your typical prologue for the movie "UP" that we all have in our minds, it was still an incredible journey.

Oh man, I've seen how this story plays out too.

She has kids with some other guy and it ends up destroying you with crippling anxiety and self-doubt.

You need to basically get as far away from her as possible.

Nah if that happens im going to tease her until the day she dies for being so dramatic during this period. Its normal to prioritize different things at different stages in her life, and i dont really expect her to hold the same opinion forever.

To be honest, 7 years ago me wouldn't have wanted kids, either. Current me really wants kids. It's understandable that, even if he knew back then, he could hope that over time she would change her mind.

If it's any consolation, you were once successful in flirting and might still be able to pull it off. Also, living in a cardboard box leaves the possibility that some neighborhood toughs will try to smash up what little you've got.

Sorry, homeless guy from my childhood. I didn't do it, but the kids who said they did were always a lot stronger than I was.
