Op must have moved on by now, but if you've not, I wonder why.

Dear Nairalander,

How do you cope with your life after your spouse failed you and took the whole matter to the worse level by seeking for divorce?

I woke up everyday of my life in the past nine months thinking about this man. I heard he has moved on in Lagos, while I am still here bothering myself about him. This is the only man I have ever known in my life. He just left without looking back not even to check on his son.
What can I do to forget him totally?

I am down emotionally and it's affecting me.

Kindly advise.

It's not easy though, loneliness kills faster than anything. But, still trying to look for that right woman.

I've been there. Not divorced but separated. It's been over 6yrs. It was easy despite that the relationship was extremely toxic. I mourned for the wasted time and abuse tolerated. I was bitter about financial and material things lost in the course of the union. I was distraught by the embarrassments and insults metted out to my family and friends. I relocated to a new city and started totally afresh with my children. Got a job and started a business.
The man that I was married to was the evil of the earth and a fraudster and womanizer. To top it all, he was grossly manipulative. Being extremely manipulative made it hard for me to leave early or even set boundaries thoroughly.

When you say this your husband left suddenly, I believe you totally. He might be a narcissistic. sociopath. That's what he did to all the women he dated during our marriage. Many did not know he was married. He would promise them heaven, use them and disappear suddenly from their lives. Read more about narcissists.

Don't be in a hurry to remarry and if you date again, don't be in a hurry to procreate. I chose celibacy as a means to be totally free and live my best life. I have concluded that all relationships are challenging judging by other people's experiences and mine. On few occasions, one may be lucky but I'm too lazy to and lack motivation to try again. That works for me but it might not work for you.
Find a hobby and most importantly, improve on your finances and network. You would be fine in the end. Many nights, you would have flashbacks of events and be bitter but time would do justice. Try to have as little contact with him as possible. If he wants to speak to his son, doesn't have to be through your phone. Don't allow him to Hoover his way back into your life because he would just hurt you a second time. Stop listening to gist about him. It would help you to move on.

Once relationship or marriage no work for una, the word narcissist go full everywhere.

I’m not saying that your partner wasn’t wrong ooo but why is that?

Well, it usually depends on what led to the divorce and how it ended. I know for a fact that divorce takes time, at least 1-2 years, how you were not able to make amends should be enough for you to move on.

You see, women need to understand that, they are most likely to suffer more when there is a divorce and should try by all means to ensure their marriage works, and it's starts from choosing a very good man as partner.

You have to move on still, find a good hobby that you enjoy, find problems in your life and try to solve them, improve on your finances, join groups and meet people and it will be better with time even if you may not be totally recover depending on your situation.

But you need to tell him to come take care of his son. That is his responsibility! Looks like he's an irresponsible man, because why abandon your child?

Hummm what has been 4ked can't be un4k. You will always remember him, for good and bad moment you had.


But the divorce, I guess, is good for both parties. He's your addiction and the fastest way to get out of one is to replace with another. Get yourself busy with something else, but once you see the boy everything will flash.

I understand the pain and emotional breakdown. If one can find it hard to cope with a breakup in the relationship one has invested productive time and resources, how easy will it then be to cope with breakup marriage. I will just advise that you forget him entirely has he has forgotten you. Move on. Don't let your memory of him slow you down. It will be a hard thing to do, but you have to do it. The thought of him will keep messing with your sanity. But you owe yourself the debt of not letting him praise God for taking taking this decision when he sees you later. Make him hate himself and hope in fain to be with you again. The only way you can achieve this is by investing in your personal growth. Don't stop living. Live fine and live well.

Take heart, God is with you.

If you want a different feeling, try a different thing. But be warned about guys or married men, who may use this against you in future. Discreetly have fun and avoid stories about your husband. The way to a woman's heart is her ears. Shut down your ears about things that make you crave for him. Open your ears to something new and you will get over it in the shortest time.

Financially, I am not missing him the highest I get from him was 25k monthly after we had a son last year. If that is what your dirty mind is thinking.

I am not missing him sexually, it's just that I can't imagine myself getting down with another man.
It's somehow to me. I will rather remain celibate.
U see as a man little things matter to us. Things u women think aren't important are d the things u neglect and don't give serious attention to. For example, i came back from a journey yesterday, my wife didn't cook and was given a complaint that she had a hectic day, i didn't argue. I went out and bought bread, asked her to prepare egg for me, this woman refused, she still gave the same complaint of tireness.
I vexed, so many things going through my mind the whole night. This woman don't give me enough sex, she don't often cook for me, she don't wash my clothes. She practically don't do anything that ll make me to always run to her. Today, if divorce her, do you think i ll look back??
Im not interested in ur story but what am trying to say is, in ur next relationship pay attention to the little things he complaint most.
U have no choice than force ur self to move on, concentrate on ur son and work, try to be in the company of ur family always.
Peace.

Re: Moving On With Life After Divorce. How Do You Cope? by Osanoghodua1: 10:33am On Nov 04, 2023
Actually, God hates divorce. This is why God wants you to be led on whom to marry, any pastor teaching that after Adam accused God of the woman he gave him leading to his fall that God has since stop giving wives that it's now whosoever finds a wife" trash and fake.

If you need to hear God in 5yrs on the choice of your spouse, wait till then, the choice of your spouse determines the quality of your life here on earth and 98% will determine your eternal destination.

On the issue on how you move on after divorce: I'll give you a guideline once I see the chronicles that led to the sudden divorce and the man not taking care of his son. It's the highest level of irresponsibility to not take care of your children even though you're divorced.

Young brothers and sisters yet to marry, don't look at beauty and finance, if you need to fast for days to secure the voice of God pls do. I was led of the Holy Spirit to marry my wife, I was led in my heart, The Holy spirit had a conversation with my spirit and I heard it in my heart not ear okay? Today, people think she's my younger sister. It's heaven on earth since day1, she submitted her salary to my hand while was was on a paid job, I bless it and hand it over to her again, sometimes I took 1-3k and usually I feel very shy this is as a result of thorough Sunday school teaching. I am not telling you to submit your salary to a gambler, womaniser, scammer or a trick star, no! Wisdom is profitable to direct.

As long as their is a child linking you too up, you won't forget him. But you can move on, even without a child, no one forgets the other person. Just move on and feel less guilty even if you are the one at fault.
