Moving On With Life After Divorce. How Do You Cope? by Realashbobby(f): 12:29pm On Nov 26, 2020
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.

People don't just leave their loved (or once loved) ones and never look back.
Something serious must've happened.

You just miss his financial assistance not him per se

You don't miss his dïck because there are many willing dïck if you are pen for it. But only few are ready to give you money

1. You will miss him less or won't miss him at all if there's a man giving you enough money even without sex

2. You will miss him more if there's a man giving you enough sex but without money like your ex

Edited : To the OP @Realashbobby of this thread please forgive me for this comment as I was not in my right senses when I made it. I was high and it was very insensitive of me.

Would you still miss him that much if he was sending you let's say 300k every month...

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.

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.

I don't understand how your spouse can fail you and still be the one to seek for a divorce.






Unless you meant to say that after all the begging after you failed him he still filed for divorce



I am lost.

From the connotation of your OP, you seem like a badass or player who has been served an overdose of her medicine by a good but no-nonsense man - everyone else except them is always the problem when served the overdose of their medicine. You've my sympathy, however, if you're an ethically sound woman who wasn't discerning enough and got used by a badass or player.

One way to gradually get out of your predicament and also to avoid experiencing the same from any other person, be it from a man or woman in an interpersonal relationship or business relationship, is taking to conscientiousness.

Apply this in thoughts and actions towards him. If he wasn't good to you while the affair lasted and if he left unprovoked by you, you'd gradually regain your sanity in a no distant time.

She called police for her brother in-law because her husband wants her to relocate to Lagos with her by force. The husband came with his brother and were packing her things to go to Lagos ( which is bad), then she called police on the husband's brother and got him locked up till the husband (now defunct) returned her properties ( though not all). So the husband left her and now he's divorcing her.

You are letting your emotions get the better of you. He didn't just leave her just like that. The bolded shows that you are not a logical thinking human being. Nonsense!
