How not to suffer after parting. Get over the breakup. "I'm ugly" and other feelings

25.12.2020

In the life of almost every person, sooner or later, parting occurs. In the lives of many - more than once. This is a very important event, because it is only from one side the end of something. More importantly, breaking up is a moment of choice and the beginning of something new. If the choice is correct, it becomes the beginning of a new, better life, a more correct understanding of love. Parting has helped a colossal number of people become adults, loving and happy people.

Parting theme to the fullest. I have enriched and deepened my experience with the help of highly qualified psychologists and Orthodox priests who participate in the work of the site "Perezhit.ru". This article is the quintessence of our methodology. The article does not replace other articles, but it will help you structure and better assimilate the material.

1. Put a point

If the breakup happened, first of all, you need to take the fact of what happened for granted. If a person has left, it is necessary to let him go. It is necessary to put an end to those relationships that were.

The stories are different. Unfortunately, partings also happen in marital relations. Therefore, when I say that you need to put an end to it, I am not saying: lock the door tightly, bury the person, erase him from your memory. No! Often lawful husbands and wives return with repentance, and then they can be accepted. It's about something else. Coming to terms with parting means letting go of the person. Recognize his right to make such a decision, even if it is wrong. Stop holding it.

Theoretically, it is possible that after some time you both will change, and a meeting of you new ones may occur, and you will be able to create new, more harmonious relationships.

But the people you are now could not be together. The path you followed came to this point. And with this point it ended. The person you are now must acknowledge and accept this.

If you have even a little love for this person, acknowledge his right to be free. Let go and bless him.

Say to yourself, referring to this person: “I am letting you go! Bless you!"

The cessation of attempts to return a person, the cessation of hopes for his return is an absolutely necessary condition for a successful experience of parting. Some cling to a person for months or years. And as long as they cling, they suffer, they get stuck in this state.

Often lovers (especially those suffering from love addiction) break up and converge several times. And the further, the lower the quality of their relationship. They thereby humiliate themselves, their relationships, they reinforce the skills of how not to live, and reduce their chances of building healthy relationships. There is a good rule: "When leaving - leave!"

And believe that your clinging does not increase the love and respect for you of the one to whom you are clinging, but quite the opposite.

2. Overcome obsessive thoughts

In most crisis situations, we do not suffer from the situation itself, but from false obsessions about it. "You will never meet as good as she is." "You won't love anyone else." "You will never have children." "It is impossible to love someone like you." "I won't love anyone else so much" (this is usually the case for girls aged 15-18), "There is no need to live anymore." These thoughts hurt us almost physically, plunge into despair.

Relatively speaking, 10% of our suffering is from the situation itself, from the inability to see a loved one, to be with him, etc., 90% - from these false thoughts. So, as soon as we overcome these thoughts, we will stop suffering. And you can overcome obsessive thoughts quickly enough.

First of all, we need to realize these thoughts as an external force hostile to us, which, with the help of deception, tries to plunge us into despair and almost squeeze us out of the light. These thoughts are not generated by you! They came from outside to harm you. To accept the thought or not to accept it is in our power. If we accept it and begin to "chew", then it becomes, as it were, ours.

What do the psychologists of ladies' and popular psychological magazines advise in such cases? Get distracted. Find an activity to help you take your mind off your hard thoughts. This is as "wise" as advising a frontline soldier to turn away from the enemy so as not to see his nasty face and do something else. Like, you don't see him, which means he is no longer there.

What about the fact that at this very moment he will hit you in the back with a bullet?

My advice is clear - turn to face the enemy and fight. This is the only real way to deal with this enemy. Thought is such a thing that neither an exercise bike, nor a swimming pool, nor the fingers of a beautician or masseur, nor a new lover will protect against. Thought can only be conquered by thought!

How to win?

Arguing with hostile thoughts is useless. Some people hope to analyze something, to reason, to make a decision with the help of a discussion with the thoughts that overwhelm them. In the acute period of the crisis, in the first week or two, no sound reasoning and correct decisions are possible. First you need to bring yourself to a healthy, sober state. In a period of acute crisis, we have only one goal - to gain a sober view of things by fighting obsessive thoughts.

The only way to overcome false thoughts is to oppose them with true, good thoughts, clothed with the power of prayer.

To do this, you must, first of all, constantly monitor what kind of thought torments you. This is what I call - looking the enemy in the face.

Second, oppose this thought with the appropriate prayer. That is, a prayer, the meaning of which is the opposite of the thought that torments at the moment. Three or four short prayers are enough to "deal" with most of the obsessive thoughts in the situation of separation.

If you are tormented by thoughts of self-pity, thoughts of despondency, murmur, or fear.

Typical thoughts are: "I will not love anyone else", "I will not be so good with anyone else", "My life no longer makes sense", "How can I, poor thing, live now?" Our most dangerous enemy is self-pity. This pity must be dealt with ruthlessly.

Prayers that are used against such thoughts: "Glory to God for everything!", "For everything Thy will. Let it be as you please! "

The meaning of these prayers is that we recognize the non-coincidence of what happened. We recognize that no matter how painful it is, it is for our good. Thus, we express our trust in God, Who wishes us all good, and the confidence that this event will serve to improve our life and our soul. And since the improvement of the soul implies an increase in love in it, it means that it is quite possible that we will still fall in love with someone, and with a more perfect love.

If we are tormented by thoughts about the person with whom we are parting, or about the one who “took away” this person.

Typical thoughts: “He's the best, you won't meet such a person again”, “I can't live without her!”, “How could I get him back”, “Scoundrel! How could he deceive me like that! "," I hate her, vile, for taking him away! How to take revenge on her? "

If we are tormented by the thought of any person, we kill it with a simple prayer: "Lord, bless this person!" We put into this prayer the desire for goodness to man.

The psychological explanation is as follows. The fact is that the essence of obsessive thoughts that torment us is evil, aggression. This is either an offense against a person, or a desire to deprive him of his freedom by tying him to himself against his will, or a desire to take revenge, or a desire to be overtaken by misfortune for what he did. All this is the opposite of love. And now, when we oppose these evil thoughts with a good thought, the evil thought is defeated.

There is also a deeper level of understanding. If we recognize that dark entities are the source of our evil thoughts, then it is clear that it is evil that is their goal. And as a result of such a prayer, you get not just good, but a double good: you get benefits from prayer, and the person for whom you are praying. Naturally, such a result of their intervention does not suit these dark entities at all, and they leave you. Tested by many!

If you are tormented by aggressive thoughts directed to yourself.

False thoughts: "It is impossible to love someone like you, you are a loser", "You are to blame for everything, now if you had not made that mistake!"

Prayer: "Glory to God for everything!" If you are really to blame for something: “Lord, have mercy!”, “Lord, forgive me!”.

Prayer "Glory to God for everything!" universal. It contains, among other things, self-acceptance, gratitude to God for the good that is in us.

Prayers of repentance: "Lord, have mercy!", "Lord, forgive!" pronounced without strain, in an even, dispassionate tone. If we start acting, we ourselves will not notice how, instead of repentance, we will concentrate on despondency and self-pity: "Oh, how unhappy I am, have pity on me!" This will only harm. When a person truly repents, he firmly believes that God forgives him, and it is easier for him every minute.

I emphasize: the tone of all prayers should be even, no matter what storm rages inside us!

There are a few more rules to keep in mind when praying.

First, you need to control your attitude towards the One to whom you are praying. Remember, God doesn't owe you anything. It is not his fault that you feel bad now. But you, most likely, are largely to blame before Him. Therefore, pray humbly. Only humble prayer achieves the goal. Prayer, in the depth of which, is an offense against God or an insolent demand, will not give anything.

This is on the one hand. On the other hand, do not consider yourself a completely alien, powerless suppliant. You are turning not to an indifferent official, but to a merciful Father who loves you. He wants to give you everything you ask for and more.

Secondly, believe that they hear you, they can help you and will certainly help you. God is almighty, He created this world out of nothing. God hears your every word (which you yourself hear), and not a single word of yours is wasted.

Third, it is advisable to know as best as possible the One to whom you are praying. Some people think that God is the "supreme intelligence." But Satan also fits the definition of "higher intelligence". Therefore, if you are close to Christianity, try reading the Gospel to find out what kind of God He is. Just do not visualize God during prayer - it is very dangerous. (Looking at the icon of Jesus Christ does not mean representing God in front of you, it is safe.)

You need to pray exactly as long as the attack on you of obsessive thoughts continues. Some will read the prayer several times, and then they say: "I tried to pray - it did not help." This is ridiculous. You are sitting in a trench. The enemy fires at you from all sides. You fire three shots towards the enemy. Naturally, the shelling does not stop. In despair, you crawl to the bottom of the trench, throwing away the machine gun: it supposedly does not help.

Where is the logic here? The force of action must be equal to the force of reaction! When I was in this situation, for the first 5 or 7 days I prayed almost continuously, repeating the words of the prayers thousands of times. By carefully observing what kind of thought is attacking me now, and using the appropriate prayer against it. I held on to prayer, like a drowning man holding on to a lifeline. Naturally, if I let go of the circle, I would immediately go to the bottom.

Therefore - do not be lazy, do not retreat, do not give up! Fight with all your might!

3. Forgive yourself and the other person

Common problems in a breakup situation are attitudes of resenting the other person or blaming yourself. Both positions prevent us from finally recovering.

Another person may be to blame for something in front of us. However, you need to forgive him, for two reasons.

Firstly, we do not know exactly why this happened, we do not know the degree of our guilt. The mistakes of one of the two may be obvious (drunkenness, cruelty, betrayal, consumerism at the material level), and the other - hidden (consumerism at the spiritual level, jealousy, disrespect, emancipation). However, the former may be a consequence of the latter. That is why they say that both are always to blame. Each of the two always has his own truth. And you, knowing only your own truth, but not knowing the truth of another, cannot judge him.

Secondly, your resentment binds you to this person, like shackles shackle two convicts. By cutting the chain of resentment, you release not only him, but yourself as well. And each of you carries with him his own piece of the chain - his share of responsibility.

How to forgive?

Tell him mentally: "I forgive you!" This does not mean that you approve of what he did or take full responsibility for what happened. No, he is responsible and will fully answer for his mistakes. But he will bear this responsibility himself, without your participation.

If the obsessive thought of resentment continues to haunt you, use the above weapon of prayer: "Lord, bless him!"

If we blame ourselves, we need to sort out our feelings and separate the rational from the irrational.

Rational is the facts of your specific sins: betrayal, rudeness, deception, jealousy, the wife's desire to rise above her husband, etc.

The irrational is just an inferiority complex, behind which are not facts, but beliefs: "I am bad," "I am not good for anywhere," "I am not worthy of love," etc.

The rational is cured by repentance. Take your share of responsibility by refraining from self-justification. Asking for forgiveness from a person - real or mentally. Ask God for forgiveness. Work on fixing yourself so that you can become a different person who will no longer do this.

The irrational is an obsessive false thought. She is treated with prayer and good deeds. But above all - improving relations with parents.

4. Benefit, work on yourself

The common truth is known: any difficult situation, any crisis is not a "misfortune", but a test. A test is an opportunity sent down to us from above, precisely calculated for our needs and abilities, an opportunity to grow, to take a step towards personal excellence and a better life. And the opportunity to grow is so important and valuable to us that it would be strange to call it a misfortune. After all, growing up, we become happier.

But growth does not automatically follow the test. As stated earlier, a challenge is an opportunity. If we only feel sorry for ourselves, blame others, become discouraged, murmur, then we have not passed the test, have not grown. And you have to grow. Therefore, the next lesson will be tougher.

To pass the test, you must, first of all, come to terms. When you and I, overcoming the desire to lose heart, feel sorry for ourselves and murmur, prayed "Glory to Thee, Lord!" - this was the school of humility. Thanks to this school, in the next tests we will not be so upset. Humility makes us stronger and more patient. Humility is our most valuable "income" from any challenge.

Now that the acute stage of the crisis has passed, it is time to soberly analyze the reasons for what happened.

First, what were constituents your relationship, how much love, how much dependence, how much physiological passion? From your side, from your partner's side.

Second, what were the genuine goals relationships - family, pleasure, mercantile calculation? From your side, from your partner's side. To what extent are these goals worthy of you, do you need such goals?

Thirdly, if the goal was worthy (real family), then how much you and this person fit for each other and for this purpose? Was it possible to achieve this goal with this person? And did you know him enough to admit the degree of intimacy that you allowed? And with what person can you achieve this goal? And which person is best for you? What qualities do you lack in order to successfully achieve this goal? Are you an adult or addicted? What harmful and useful skills have you learned from your parental family and the relationships that preceded that relationship?

Fourth, if the goal was worthy and people were worthy, what mistakes were you allowed in the process of achieving these goals? What should you do to get a better result?

In the process of this analysis, write down on paper everything that you need to change in yourself. Your mistakes to repent of. Your shortcomings to be corrected. Those good qualities that you need to develop in yourself. These records will be your second "income" from this test.

To get the third "income" from the test, put this piece of paper into action - start working on yourself. First of all, we are talking about inner work. About overcoming addictions, passions, fostering love, chastity. This work on yourself will make you a different person.

If you find it necessary to also work on your body, doing physical education is in any case good for you. Physical training associated with overcoming "I can no longer" not only make our body younger and more attractive, but also strengthen the will, which is of great importance for the success of all the affairs of our life.

It is very important at this stage to put in front of yourself the right goals for the next period of life. It is the improvement of yourself as a person, education of love in yourself, getting rid of shortcomings that should be your goals. Not a new meeting, not the return of the one who left.

Moreover, it is highly desirable abstain from any relationship for at least a year like lovers - even chaste. Otherwise, the relationship will be built on an unreliable foundation. The first time after parting, self-esteem is underestimated. After some time of work on oneself, it can become overestimated. Both that, and another, interfere with a sober assessment of the partner. In addition, the substitution effect is known when we unconsciously seek a replacement for the partner who left us. Relationships that begin to take shape ahead of time will be fragile.

Therefore, do not get hung up on the topic of love relationships! Don't worry about having nowhere to meet a good person! Everything will happen in due time. When you are ready to create a full-fledged family, a worthy person will appear. As soon as you become a princess, your prince will immediately rush on a white horse. Even if you sit at home all day due to illness, he will make the wrong door or phone number - and will come to you. And if you are not ready, then even with a huge social circle you will not be able to choose anyone.

If age leaves little hope for creating a new family, all the more, a person has only one field of activity - his soul. If there is someone to take care of, this is also a worthy task in life, but nevertheless, improving yourself is more important. Because only a loving person can truly care for others. Here is the story of a woman living with dignity in celibacy after divorce.

5. Do not recognize the right to be unhappy

Many of us, unconsciously for ourselves, in the state "I am poor, unhappy, no one loves me" feel more comfortable than in the state: "I was born to be happy, and it depends on me whether to be happy or not." This is due to infantilism (childishness), the insurmountability of some stages of growing up. We do not want, as adults, to take responsibility for ourselves. And therefore, although we are afraid of troubles when they come, we literally cling to them and do not want to let go.

The more infantile a person is, the longer he gets stuck in a state of experience. As at school he liked to lie in a crib when he got sick, feeling sorry for himself and accepting the sympathy of others, so here he goes to the bed of self-pity. Finally, something like a valid reason for self-pity has been found. And in this state after parting, a person, if desired, can remain for many years. But what's the point?

In fact, there is not a single valid reason for such relaxation. Adults, mentally healthy people never relieve themselves of their responsibility to themselves and other people. After all, both other people and ourselves need us. They are needed not only healthy and capable, but also strong, joyful, capable of supporting and delighting others.

Therefore, adults, mentally healthy people do not get stuck even in such a serious trauma as the experience of the death of a loved one. No one but our enemies needs our tears, physical and mental illness and suicide. All our near and far, living and dead, we need strong and joyful.

Therefore, our task is to rejoice. And not sometime later, when everything will work out, and we will start a family with one of the heirs of the British royal house. You need to rejoice right now. There is no good reason not to do this. We are alive, able to work, we can love, God loves us, and He gave us many abilities that it is high time to use.

What will help you find the answer?

Experts offer the rejected person answers to the following series of questions:

How to survive a breakup with a man? Girls are very emotional creatures who dream of perfect relationships. Sadness is much more difficult for young people to cope with because of little experience and a tendency to dramatize unpleasant events. But breaking up with a man also hurts mature women. Therefore, psychologists focus the ladies' attention on self-esteem and self-esteem, because the peace of mind of any person is based precisely on the feeling of self-confidence and self-sufficiency.
What is the easiest way to deal with parting with a man? Psychologists assure you that you need to give yourself time to calm down. Experts share tips on how to forget the man who dumped you: you need to accept the very fact of breaking up a relationship, imagining that you are drinking a bitter pill. Taking medications, you realize that they will begin to have a therapeutic effect only after a certain period of time. When you realize that your loved one has left you, then it should also take time before you stop suffering and torment yourself with a sense of guilt. How to deal with the pain of separation? The main thing is to stop resisting reality and plucking spiritual wounds with false hopes.
How to start living anew after breaking up? It's important to do what inspires you. Experiences take away vitality, so it is necessary to restore inner balance.
How do men deal with breakups? Representatives of the stronger sex may not react as violently to a breakup as women often do, but this does not mean that they do not care. Men also suffer and do not know how to get through the pain of parting. The main difference is that young people tend to withdraw into themselves, and ladies are more accustomed to sharing their experiences with their friends.
How to behave after breaking up? Many guys and girls are afraid to show their weakness in front of the one who dumped them. Frequent phone calls and silly cell phone messages are on the list of mindless actions of rejected lovers. It is important at first to calm down, not subjecting yourself to ridicule from others, which hurts even more.

Below are ways to overcome a life crisis that will tell you how to get over the breakup with your loved one.

Stages of accepting the inevitable

There are 5 stages of accepting a fait accompli:

Negation. The human brain refuses to believe that something bad has happened. A girl, for example, just does not yet know what to do if a guy has left, how to get over a breakup. It is easiest for her in this situation to deny the rupture of the love affair. The reluctance to let go prompts the lady to look for ways to return love and passion. A woman sincerely believes that everything can still be changed, that everything depends only on herself.
Anger. The rejected person begins to hate the one whom he loved dearly until recently. Strong resentment and self-pity accompany a guy or girl at this stage of accepting the inevitable.
Bargaining, or a deal. A person appeals to higher powers with entreaties for help. Young people ask to cancel parting with their beloved woman, hoping that such decisions are made in the heavenly office. They promise not to do what, in their understanding, was outside the bounds of moral foundations and worthy of blame on the part of higher powers.
Depression If you're unsure of how to deal with breaking up with your loved one, the advice of others who have faced a similar drama in life can help you cope with apathy and oppressive thoughts. Indeed, at this stage, young men and women fixate on themselves, tirelessly analyzing their feelings, showing indifference to everything else in life. Despite desperate efforts, there will be no victory in this situation. Realizing that it is useless to continue the fight to reunite with a loved one, the injured party becomes depressed.
Adoption. What if you broke up with a boyfriend? Accept the fact that the relationship is broken, as stated above. Only from the moment of accepting the inevitable does personal growth begin, and the pain becomes less intense.

Why is it hard to let go?

Psychology for women is replete with many useful recommendations regarding the following painful issues: how to stop loving a man and how to cope with mental pain. To understand how to get a guy out of your head, you need to understand the reasons for your unwillingness to let your lover go.

Relationship psychology proposes to consider the comparative characteristics of love and love addiction.

What is love?

It is important to consider what happens to the person who truly loves:

All-consuming joy. You feel good together and apart.
The circle of potential objects does not narrow to potential sadists.
You are getting better, you want to create, to create.
The feeling of love carries positive energy.
Love does not negate inner freedom.
Relationships are built on equal terms.

The tragedy of parting with a loved one always carries with it pain, but deep down there is hope for the best, because a breakup does not mean that you do not deserve love and happiness. A person experiences parting without excessive self-flagellation.

What is love addiction?

Consideration should be given to how a person suffering from love addiction behaves and feels:

Pain and despair.
An emotional reaction occurs only to those people who are capable of causing tension, suffering, who behave in an unpredictable manner.
Interested in nothing but the object of love. The desire to control every step of the partner.
Overwhelmed by anxiety, fear, uncertainty, doubt. And in the happiest moments, a girl may worry that soon he will leave her anyway.
Dependence on the mood of a loved one, his look, tone of voice, his words.
With all her might, the girl tries to please her lover. Everything forgives and tolerates mistreatment.

When a loved one left, how to survive separation? Direct all your strength to overcome love addiction, because it is she who prevents you from letting go of the situation.

Psychology says that people perceive love as a means that can change reality, filling life with meaning. Emotionally dependent girls and boys on their partner expect that the object of love will solve their problems with an inferiority complex. They make others responsible for their own happiness, demanding constant attention to themselves, violating personal boundaries and depriving the freedom of choice of who they are romantically involved with. Caring for others, they do not think about their true needs, but only try to oblige the chosen ones to love them as they wish.

How to deal with the pain of separation?

Listening to the advice of psychologists on how to cope with a breakup, people often forget about personal responsibility. It is not enough just to know what to do in a given situation. After reading the recommendations and analyzing the information, it is necessary to introduce ideas to improve the quality of life.

Consideration should be given to what steps to take if you are unsure of how to deal with a breakup:

Ask your partner why he is leaving. This information is important for you so that next time you do not repeat the mistakes of the past. How to get over a breakup with a boyfriend? Make sure your love affair is really over. It may also happen that the young man does not want to conduct long discussions, explaining to you what caused his decision. In this case, you just have to accept his choice and move on.
How to live after parting with your beloved? When faced with strong emotions, the person may feel that the pain will last forever, but this is the most common belief in people experiencing personal drama. Ladies may even pass out from the shocking news. Some representatives of the fairer sex may not eat for 1-2 weeks and not sleep either day or night. Women prefer grueling physical activity. Therefore, allow yourself to suffer, but do not dwell on negative experiences. Decide how many days or weeks you will miss, cry, and feel sorry for yourself.
How to survive parting with your beloved? Men are often not ready to hear the truth from a lady of the heart, even if she is trying to explain the reason for leaving. They cannot understand what she lacked in the relationship, because everything seemed to be so wonderful. Men for the most part do not torment themselves with a sense of guilt, which already facilitates the process of adapting to life without a beloved woman. But you should still think about what happened when the pain subsides, in order to avoid such negative consequences in the future.
How to quickly forget a man? Schedule a date when you will release your attachment to your boyfriend. It is on this day that you will truly forget it. This method has been repeatedly tested and confirmed in practice. If a guy quits, don't think that you could influence his decision to stay. The choice of a young man is a confirmation that the relationship has long ceased to suit both of you, but he just took the first step to move on through life, but separately. Thank the man for saving you valuable time.
How to get over a breakup with a guy with whom you have been together for more than 10 years? Collect all the things he left in a box, and then hide it so that over time you will not even remember about it. Do not do for a month what you did only with him. Don't go to places where you were once happy. Do not stir up spiritual wounds with memories by flipping through a photo album.

Common mistakes

Relationship psychology suggests that a girl needs to answer the following questions for herself:

Does the young man have something in common with those with whom you parted before? If the answer is yes, then think about why this happened, why these men cannot live with you. You may have different views on life values, goals, and priorities. But most often it happens that the relationship is built on passion every time, which quickly passes.
Have the man's needs in the relationship been met?
Make a list of the qualities that your loved one wanted to see in you. Are you really able and willing to match his ideas of what a dream woman should be?

How to forget a guy? Stop thinking about how unlucky you are in life. Never abuse alcoholic beverages. You shouldn't start dating other men until your heart calms down.

And do not look for a meeting with the one who left you. It often happens that the man himself offers to meet for a pleasant pastime, but you should not agree to sex without obligation. You will get only a moment's relief, and then you will get worse.

The importance of self-esteem

How to deal with breaking up with your lover? Remember that you have you first and foremost. If you devalue yourself, then not a single person on the planet will be able to return your faith in your uniqueness and originality, even if you really want to do it.

The following unmet needs must be kept in mind that contribute to your being abandoned every time:

The need for safety and security. Such women seek to marry a millionaire. If you feel that without a man you will be lost in this cruel world, then psychologists advise you to think about the fact that the need for security should be satisfied on your own, and not at the expense of a man. When a woman becomes a mother, she additionally needs to take care of the child and his safety. Therefore, it is important to consult a specialist if it is for the above reason that you are having a hard time breaking up with your lover.
The need for acceptance and love. Only next to a man could you feel your own worth as a person. You can think that you are worth something in life only when you are in a love relationship. It is important first of all to love and accept yourself with all the advantages and disadvantages. It is impossible to build strong relationships if you have a lack of self-esteem.

Love is what a person needs most. From birth to death, people tirelessly strive for love. She is written about in books, sung in songs, poems are dedicated to her. But this does not make the word "love" more understandable. Rather, on the contrary, it is used so often that it increasingly loses its true meaning.

People suffer from unrequited love, even commit suicide. But often it is the inability to love that entails mental anguish. There are tons of books full of advice on how to forget your beloved ones. Wise people advise not to waste energy to forget someone, they recommend learning to love even more. Indeed, in this case, it will be possible to rejoice in the happiness of those who decide to break off relations with us. Wisdom and patience to you!

The statistics are relentless: in Russia every second family falls apart. This means that there are a lot of women who have gone through a divorce. If the marriage lasted a long time and was of great importance for a woman, separation is a great stress, sometimes experienced as tragedy or grief.

Lovely ladies have different attitudes towards a breakup, but each of them goes through certain stages. Such a sequence resembles those experiences that people experience after the death of a loved one.

Experts assure that a break in relations is a kind of small "death". What to do? We offer advice from a psychologist on how to survive a divorce from your husband.

The emotional state of a woman experiencing a break in relations with her husband goes through several phases. The time limits of these stages are very conditional, since divorce and previous family life proceed differently for everyone, and no one has canceled the psychological characteristics. That is why some stages are delayed or, on the contrary, accelerated.

Stage 1. Shock state

Shock is the first and completely natural human reaction to a tragic event. The state of shock can last from 10-15 minutes to 2-3 months. The usual duration is about a week. At this time, the woman simply refuses to believe what is happening. For example, you find out about adultery, or a man says that he needs a divorce.

The main help comes from close people and friends. It is important to express your negative emotions by telling them what happened. Even better - cry, twist a little. Most likely, it will get a little easier.

Stage 2. Depression and conscious suffering

This phase usually lasts 2 months and consists of mental rushing, painful emotions. A woman feels the meaninglessness of later life, a feeling of loneliness, fear of new things and helplessness appear. That is, a tangle of conflicting experiences arises:

feeling of guilt that it was not possible to keep the man;
pain due to betrayal;
resentment against a spouse who chose another;
bewilderment ("after all, I'm better").

How to survive a divorce from your husband? Only after deciding on emotions.

Try to deal with your feelings by looking at them from the outside. Again, friends and relatives who are ready to listen will help in this. The main thing is not to keep painful experiences in yourself.

Having said this, it is worth remembering that there are people living nearby who are also not easy now. For example, your child is undoubtedly experiencing a difficult parental divorce. It is important to reassure the children, to explain that they will meet with the father (if he and they need it, the situations are different).

Stage 3. Residual effects

This phase lasts for at least 12 months. Grief gradually fades into the background, strong emotional upheavals are possible. For example, you accidentally meet with your ex-husband, celebrate your first holiday alone.

The worries are not released also because common acquaintances, relatives, family affairs (raising a child) remind of a man. Of course, it is hard to experience such reminders, but they build character and make it possible to adapt to new relationships.

Stage 4. Completion

The final phase lasts approximately 1-2 years. At this time, a woman, remembering a divorce, no longer feels pain, but sadness or nostalgia. And this, you see, feelings of a completely different order.

Time is gradually beginning to justify the title of "doctor". A woman develops a habit of solving problems on her own and becomes happy if she succeeds. Self-esteem rises, and by the end of the period you want to fall in love again.

The successful completion of all stages is evidenced by the woman's ability to make plans for the future and implement them. Now she looks ahead, having stopped looking back at the past, realizes that the obsessions to return the relationship with her ex-spouse have passed. There is a desire to live, not exist.

Of course, sooner or later, time will heal, but the process of "therapy" can take several years and take too much energy. That is why psychologists recommend not to postpone the struggle with the problem that has arisen until tomorrow, but to act now. Here are 8 tips for surviving your husband's betrayal and divorce.

There is no need to look for meetings with a departed man. No one argues that now he wants to tell him everything that has accumulated, to find out whether he is bad without you or good. However, violent experiences will only lead to mutual insults, scandals, which will add a few more negative emotions to the piggy bank.
Try a change of scenery by starting small. For example, rearrange the furniture in the apartment or start making repairs (if finances allow). If you had to move to your relatives, do not delay with "accommodation" on the spot. The main thing here is to do something.
Depression cannot be cured by reckless fun, it is a common misconception. Therefore, you do not need to worry about parting, throwing yourself into a maelstrom of noisy parties. Many women think that daring fun will distract from painful feelings and unpleasant thoughts. Yes, you have enough for a week or two, and then depression will come again.
We urgently need to take care of our own appearance. And not for the ex-spouse (they say, what beauty he lost), but for himself, his beloved. Seizing stress with buns and refusing to take care of yourself, it is worth remembering that then it will be very difficult to restore the lost shape. This means that negative emotions about the sides and extra pounds that have appeared will be added to the moral suffering. Your beauty will come in handy when looking for another man!
Do not try to immediately return the departed spouse, try to wait a little. If the obsessive desire to restore the marriage has not disappeared even after six months, try. How? This is a completely different story. It happens that the desire to stick together a destroyed family disappears by itself. If this happened to you, then the divorce was only for the good.
Thinking about how to quickly and easily get through a divorce, women immediately start a new romance. Psychologists assure that such a precocious relationship is doomed to failure. You will subconsciously compare the current man with your former spouse, look for flaws in the new partner. Another breakup will make the situation much worse.
Don't try to wash down your grief with alcoholic beverages. Scientists point out that divorced women are at risk for alcoholism. In addition, alcohol only intensifies the depressive state, but does not lift the mood. In addition, imagine how much joy you, drunk and degraded, will deliver to your rival.
It is imperative to let go of your guilt. Many divorced women begin to blame themselves for the fact that the child or children will now grow up without a father. You should not consider yourself worse than you really are. Yes, now you are alone, but there is a high chance of meeting another man, and the feeling of guilt will not help to raise a child normally.

"Situations are different" is a stereotyped phrase, but it is very suitable in the event of a divorce. We all experience tragic situations in our own way, and our environment does not allow us to "get bored". So, how can you still survive a divorce if:

Have a child. First of all, children should not be categorically turned against their second parent. For you, he is an ex-husband, and for a daughter or son, he is a father. And this cannot be changed in any way. The child should not make difficult choices: mom or dad. Try to be wise and allow the father to date the child.
You are pregnant. Unfortunately, such cases are not rare at all. The task of a woman in this crucial period is to endure and safely give birth to a healthy baby. The departed husband and other troubles are secondary things compared to pregnancy. Do not forget that strong feelings are reflected to one degree or another in the unborn child.
The husband left after 20 (30) years of marriage. Continue to live! At 40 and even 50 years old, life does not end. A person who is determined to be happy will become it. Probably, children and grandchildren will give meaning to life. In addition, you have the opportunity to realize yourself in what your hands did not "reach" before.

A common question: how to survive a difficult divorce from your husband, if you still love. Try all the tips above, and if you can't forget and live on, you should contact a professional psychotherapist.

It is important to set a goal and go towards it. After all, the experience of numerous representatives of the fair sex proves that life after divorce exists!

It takes any woman a long time to experience and understand what happened.

According to UN statistics for 2011, Russia is in first place in terms of the number of divorces in the world. Every second officially registered marriage breaks up. This means that there are many women who have gone through this test. Similar problems are faced all over the world. You need to understand that divorce is not an end, but a new beginning.

If family life lasted a long time and had an emotional and spiritual meaning for a person, then an unexpected breakup is always stress that is experienced as grief.

Women react differently to divorce, but everyone has to go through certain stages. The whole sequence of experiences is similar to what people experience after the death of a loved one. In a sense, divorce can be seen as the “death” of the family.

The threads of human relationships cannot be severed overnight, without leaving a trace, just after the signing of a legal document. It takes months and even years to start living a full life again.

Post-divorce experiences have several phases. Depending on the phase in which you are now, the recommendations of psychologists corresponding to the state will help. The time frames of the phases are conditional, since divorce and the relationship that preceded it can be confusing, full of hope and despair, replacing each other. Therefore, some phases may be delayed.

Shock phase

Shock is any person's initial reaction to grief. The shock usually lasts from a few minutes to several months, but most often it lasts about 10-12 days.

At this time, it is not easy to believe at all what happened. For example, you found out about the betrayal, or he announced that he required a divorce and left. It is impossible even to simply believe it.

The presence of friends and loved ones next to you can help. If it turns out, telling someone about what happened, expressing your feelings, maybe crying to your heart's content, you may feel that it has become at least a little easier.

The phase of depression and conscious suffering

On average, this period lasts 8-9 weeks. This is a time of mental rushes and worries, when the feeling of the meaninglessness of life, loneliness, fear and helplessness is fully manifested. A woman left alone after a divorce, a break with her beloved, usually experiences many conflicting feelings.

If you are now going through this critical period of life, you are most likely familiar with a variety of feelings, as if tangled in a ball. This is the feeling of guilt for not keeping the husband and not keeping the family, and pain, and resentment, and bewilderment. Emotions overwhelm and interfere with understanding. Try to realize, to see your experiences from the outside. During this period, friends and family can help, who will be ready to listen to you. Try to speak out, do not keep feelings to yourself.

Strong feelings are highly counterproductive. It can become destructive if you go headlong into it. Psychologists who work with divorce survivors have found that mental anguish usually ends when a person stops blaming himself for failure and begins to understand that it takes two people to bring a family to ruin.

You should not concentrate only on your own experiences. Remember that there are people around you who are also having a hard time. These are, for example, your children who are very upset about what is happening. They need a father they love. Therefore, reassure the children that they can see their dad quite often. It is also important, despite your suffering, to start making plans for your future life and find support in yourself.

Residual Phase

It lasts about a year after the divorce. At this stage, the experience of grief is not dominant; it sometimes appears in the form of small but strong emotional upheavals. The reason for them may be a chance meeting with a husband, some events - for example, the first birthday without him, the first new year without a husband.

The difficulties of experiencing the phase of residual phenomena after a divorce are also in the fact that, as a rule, there are quite a few reminders of a husband - mutual friends, relatives, the opportunity to talk on the phone at any time. On the one hand, these are heavy reminders of the loss, and on the other, the opportunity to gradually get used to a new relationship. Divorce is difficult because focusing on the husband's best qualities is infrequent and slow.

Completion phase

It comes in about a year. Now, remembering the breakup, the woman no longer experiences grief, but sadness - a feeling of a completely different nature.

Time heals mental wounds. It develops a habit of coping with problems alone and joy if you can do it. Self-esteem is restored. After a year or two, the need for new love arises again.

Psychological work is considered close to completion when you gain hope and the ability to plan for the future. Unexpectedly for yourself, you begin to look forward, and not look back, and also realize that obsessive thoughts have stopped - you no longer expect to return your marriage, you understand that you can live a full life.

Pain gives way to hope. It turns out that life after divorce does exist. Your future looks brighter through the prism of the suffering you have endured.

Tips on how to get over a breakup easier

1.Leaving go!

Don't look for meetings with your ex-husband. Yes, I really want to tell him everything that you think about him, find out how he feels without you, and so on. But the fact is that the first time after breaking up, you simply cannot communicate with him without a flurry of emotions and mutual insults, which is fraught with scandals that will not bring anything good and will only add negative experiences.

2. Take action!

Try to immediately change the situation, start acting. For example, now no one will bother to make the redevelopment the way you want it. You can even start a renovation. If, after the divorce, you moved to your parents, then immediately start establishing a comfortable life there. The main thing is not to "freeze" yourself, but to act.

3. Fun will not help

You should not try to survive a divorce by going headlong into destructive entertainment. No noisy parties and nightclubs at first, it is better to wait a bit. At first glance, it seems that reckless fun will distract from thoughts of the past, from thoughts of divorce. Perhaps this will really help, but for a very short time, after which depression will cover with renewed vigor.

4. Urgently - to the beauty salon!

Take care of your appearance. Do it for yourself simply because you love yourself and you can quite pamper yourself with pleasant beauty treatments. This will help distract, in addition, the internal state and appearance are closely interconnected. Having lost its shape, it will then be difficult to restore it. Then, to the mental pain associated with divorce, sadness about the blurry figure will also be added. But you will need an irresistible appearance when, having survived a divorce, you start looking for a more worthy man.

5. You can't enter the same river twice

Almost all women, shortly after a divorce, want to return their ex-spouse, forgiving him everything. Do not give in to this desire - first, cool down a little. Only if the persistent desire to return the ex-husband has not disappeared even six months after the divorce, you can try. If the intention to return it has disappeared, then parting for you is only for the good.

6. Wedge wedge - does not work!

In the early days after a divorce, try not to have romances. It is generally accepted that this is the best way out of the situation. However, the romance, started soon after the breakup, is doomed to failure. Having struck up an affair with a man immediately after a divorce, you will subconsciously compare him with your former beloved, you will find fault and make comments to him, get angry, look for flaws in your new partner and get nervous. This dooms any relationship to defeat, and when parting, it will add another severe psychological trauma to you. That will not only negate attempts to survive the divorce with dignity, but also aggravate the situation.

7. Healing sleep

Healthy sleep helps against all diseases, including mental trauma. Getting enough sleep is especially important the first time after a divorce. The more you sleep, the sooner you will regain your peace of mind after a breakup.

8. Alcohol is not allowed!

Never try to drown your grief in alcohol. Alcohol does not so much raise the mood as it enhances the existing one. If you're depressed after a breakup, alcohol will make it worse. Even if he is able to cause a short feeling of euphoria, then all the problems will return along with the hangover, which will only aggravate the pain.

It has been proven that after a divorce, a woman is often threatened with a real opportunity to sleep, so avoid alcohol three miles away. Do not destroy yourself and do not bring joy to your rival (if your husband left you for your mistress, she will only be pleased with your problems).

9. Don't blame yourself

If you have children, then there is no need to blame yourself for the fact that they are left from your father - this is not your fault. Children now really need your attention, because divorce is the most stressful for them.

Summing up

Getting through a divorce is actually not as scary as it seems at first glance. You just need to pull yourself together and not indulge your weaknesses. You should not lock yourself in, sit back and bury yourself ahead of time, deciding that nothing good awaits you anymore.

After a few years, you will not even remember this parting, and it is possible that you will laugh at your own experiences. But in order to survive the divorce with dignity, you will have to work on yourself. What will you be like in a few years, what place in life you will take, whether you will find yourself another man - in many respects it depends entirely on you.

Here is a comforting fact for those who are going through the first phases after a divorce: after a while, most women regret that they lost so much precious time in an unsuccessful union and did not file for divorce themselves.

Quote: "Happiness is good for the body, but only grief develops the abilities of the spirit.".

Marcel Proust

Divorce is an extraordinary situation that requires a lot of mental and mental energy for adequate resolution, then loneliness will not become a depressing state for the psyche, but will be resolved by a revision of previous life attitudes and the belief that future life will necessarily be prosperous.

What is divorce?

Divorce is the separation of a man and a woman after a certain period of life together. A husband and wife lived for themselves, and suddenly at one "fine" moment they noticed that they were completely strangers. Having started to live together, we made a big mistake, therefore, before it's too late, it's time to scatter.

He and She find many reasons for such a responsible step, each gives his own reasons, often not listening to the reasonable arguments of the other. Everyone considers himself to be right, it comes to serious conflicts, when, more recently, lovers become enemies and are ready to literally scratch out each other's eyes.

Sometimes it comes to curiosities when dividing the property acquired together, when even the pillow is torn in half, they say, this is your half, and this is mine. Although they often get divorced quietly and peacefully, without raising too much noise, so as not to injure children, not to look ugly in the eyes of friends and acquaintances. Even when they disperse, they often remain good friends.

It is not without reason that it is said that the true character of the spouses is known in divorce. So what pushes a man and a woman to take such a decisive step? Why did it happen, what psychological background that led to the breakup is hidden behind the relationship of the spouses?

Albert Einstein is credited with saying: “A man marries in the hope that a woman will never change. The woman gets married in the hope that the man will change. Both are invariably disappointed. "

Divorce is a big tragedy in life, although for some it is almost a holiday. Someone said that "all that a woman looks for in marriage is a roof over her head and a man under the heel." And he doesn't want to run errands. For this, leaving his wife is the best way out of a precocious family life, saving his own self from the tyrannical character of his wife.

Much has been written about how men behave after a divorce, but most of the stronger sex is going through a rupture of relations hard. It is not true that it is easier for them than for women. Others continue to love ardently, but it did not work out! A strong personality closes in on himself, only a long-time good friend can believe his mental anguish.

Weak natures go into a booze, justifying themselves over a glass, that they did everything for her, but she did not appreciate it, went to another. They can run after their ex in hopes of getting her back. And they will not understand that they look pathetic, this behavior only repels, promises a lot of problems.

Many men are afraid of the abrupt transition from family life to loneliness. They are simply not ready for such a step, and therefore they are trying to avoid it, looking for ways to reconciliation. And when they do not find them, they explode with anger, worsening their already precarious marital status.

It's important to know! Loneliness is not the best state of mind. But there is also a positive side to this. A person lives with hope, and therefore there is always a chance to find your happiness in the unknown ahead of you.

Why is a man getting divorced?

She decided to break up with him, it became unbearable to live together under the same roof. Even after the divorce, the man does not want to admit to himself that he gave a reason for this. And not just one, there can be many of them, in fact, not only from his side, from her too. Underneath all are deep inner reasons, although on the surface there are understandable ones. Let's try to figure out what led to the divorce, if the man is to blame.

Reasons for divorce:

I got stuck in everyday life... The romance of a relationship, when paradise with a sweetheart and in a hut, has long passed. Weekdays have come. Lying in each other's arms has become habitual, it no longer bothers. Better sleep well, because tomorrow is work. Children take a lot of attention. The wife walks around the house in a disheveled dressing gown, and has become less careful about herself. All this became boring, I wanted to get away from such gray everyday life in order to start a new life.
Another woman appeared... It seems that he loves his wife, he is not going to radically change his way of life. But I wanted some kind of zest in the relationship, but my spouse cannot give it. He got a mistress. But no matter how long the rope twists, the end will surely come. Some of the well-wishers told his wife about this. She cannot forgive, it came to divorce.
Too much work... He comes home tired, always grumbles that he does everything for the house, but sees no gratitude. Suppose dinner is not prepared on time, and the wife replies to the remark that she was busy with the children. "Wait a little, and I'll cook, or better yet, do it yourself." Or he does not pay due attention to his wife, she treats him with affection, and he is irritated that he is tired, there is no time to breed veal tenderness. She has resentment, the relationship grows cold, one "wonderful" day they suddenly notice that they have become strangers.
Fear of children... There was love until children appeared. With them came the understanding that living together is not only passionate love, but also responsibilities to the family. And I don't want to carry them. Disappointment sets in. The man turned out to be an egoist, there is no desire to deal with the kids. Relations with his wife deteriorate until divorce.
Fell out of love... They live together for a long time, but over time I realized that they are completely different people. Everyone has their own interests, you have to spend a lot of time with other people. For example, he likes to "run away" from home on a fishing or hunting trip. There is not enough time for intimate communication with his wife. This leads to a cooling of relations and divorce.

It's important to know! For a man, divorce is more often than not a withdrawal from solving the urgent problems that life poses to the family.

Features of a man's behavior after a divorce

American psychologist Elizabeth Kubler-Ross in her book "On Death and Dying" described the feelings of a person who went through a great life shock (divorce is one of such psychological traumas). Breaking down all the experiences into 5 stages, she emphasized that they do not necessarily alternate one after another. They can exist simultaneously or even return, for example, from the second stage to the first. The stages in the behavior of a person who has experienced severe stress is only a theoretical analysis of the "flights", thanks to which one can better know what one feels in such a state.

Consider how men go through divorce, based on the 5 stages (stages) of Kubler-Ross:

Negation... When a spouse is confronted by his wife with the fact that she is leaving him, the news catches him by surprise. How can a man live after a divorce if he is not yet ready for this? There comes a purely emotional reaction, they say, "This cannot be, you are just kidding!" This is a kind of psychological defense against a state of shock, an attempt to get rid of the problem, to pretend that nothing serious has happened. The first stage is characterized by the fact that there is still no readiness to accept what happened, to adequately realize an unpleasant life situation. Hence the wide range of feelings that dictate appropriate behavior. For example, an attempt to make peace, to do something pleasant to his wife. And even after the divorce, I still can't believe what happened. "Or maybe she will come back after all?"
Stage of anger... At this stage, the denial of the fact that the wife can leave is replaced by the understanding that this is quite real. The man falls into an angry state. He blames his half for all sins. She brought family life to such a state. “You did not do that, and it’s not that way!”, “If we do not live well, this is your fault!”. In such a state, I do not want to understand that it is he who is largely to blame. Anger replaces sound reasoning, does not promote peace in the family. A spouse under the "hot hand" can blame everyone around for what happened: relatives, friends, bosses at work, for example, did not receive a salary on time, and a polkan was sent to him at home, or the reason for everything is the poor economic situation in the country. After the divorce, the man still cannot calm down and in every possible way calls his ex-name, that he does not paint at all, but he hardly understands this.
Trying to reconcile (bargaining)... According to Kubler-Ross, this is the third stage. When the anger subsided and the man begins to understand that he is wrong and regrets, he comes to self-flagellation, the desire to return everything to normal, attempts at reconciliation. This happens already consciously, and not intuitively, as at the stage of "denial". The spouse is trying to reconcile and delay an event that is unpleasant for his life. He promises his wife to improve, for example, to work more, not to linger with friends, to pay more attention to the children, to his half. "And for a long time we have not gone to the cinema, to a concert." From a purely psychological point of view, such behavior is viewed as bargaining, a desire to avoid changes in one's life or, at worst, to bargain for a delay, thinking that there is a way out. As you know, hope dies last. And if, nevertheless, a divorce happened, the man resigns himself to him, realizing that you cannot return the past, but you need to live on. In this case, his relationship with his ex remains quite friendly with him, but everyone lives their own new life.
Depressive state... All attempts to reconcile were in vain. The spouse does not react to them, in a relationship there is complete alienation. And you don't want to change so much in your life, you will have to leave many habits. It is depressing. There comes a breakdown, disbelief in oneself. Everything that was previously of interest seems to be insignificant and nothing is insignificant. A feeling of complete loneliness captures the soul. I don’t want to live, “yes, this family and little wife are lost!”. The man begins to feel sorry for himself that "so unhappy, why do I need extra troubles in my life?" After a divorce, he can go into a binge, which further exacerbates depression. At work, there are continuous discrepancies up to absenteeism. You have to dodge to justify yourself. The person understands that this is disgusting, but cannot stop. Suicidal thoughts appear, if such a poor fellow is not helped in time, he can completely sink and end his days badly.
Full awareness of what happened (acceptance of the situation)... The man realizes that he is hopelessly lost in the "battle" with his wife. You cannot turn back the past, if you cannot change the situation, you need to change your attitude towards it. And psychologically prepares for divorce. The relationship with his wife becomes even, without screaming and noise, the notion comes that there is no need to injure children. Probing the prospects for future life begins. Of course, after so many years together it will be difficult to be alone, but this is not the end of the world. There is always a way out at the end of the tunnel. And the experience of their feelings begins: but what to do next in order to get out of this situation? For some, such reflection helps to discover the creativity in oneself, new qualities that were not noticed before. For example, suddenly there was an interest in art photography or drawing. It turns out well, gives pleasure to him, friends and relatives. This helps to gain self-confidence, even becoming lonely, a man will not derail his fate. And then, who said that a successful person cannot experience happiness in marriage again?

It's important to know! The psychology of a man after a divorce is a kind of protective mechanism, thanks to which he does not "go off the rails", does not get hung up on the negative, but finds the strength to overcome it in order to return to a normal lifestyle in an already changed state of soul and spirit.

How to survive a divorce from your wife?

How can a man survive a divorce? There may be several tips. It is best to deal with its negative consequences yourself. Otherwise, you should consult a psychologist. It will help relieve stress, suggest ways out of an unfavorable situation, when the nerves are at their limit and a complete breakdown, there is no interest in life.

How to survive a divorce from your wife yourself?

What should a man do after a divorce, how to survive it himself, without going to a psychologist? The advice here can be the most general, but if you have enough common sense to listen to them, they will help in such a difficult situation.

Here are some practical tips to help alleviate the pain of parting with your beloved woman and return to a normal, healthy life:

Time heals any wounds... Soulful as well. Therefore, do not chop off the shoulder, give yourself time to cool down your emotions and you can reason sensibly. When you calm down, then the right decision will come about how to behave after a divorce. There are many people in life with whom this happened, but after all, they did not die from this, they continue to live, and even quite well.
Don't leave old boots at the entrance! This means that if you cannot change the situation, change yourself. Do not stay in the "kirzach" of the previous ideas! Throw them out of your soul! After all, it was they who brought it to such a state. To change your life after a divorce, you need to critically look at it before him and admit that you were wrong in many ways. When an understanding of this comes, the grievances will subside, the right decision will come. Fate will not seem unhappy.
Do not kick out a wedge with a wedge... There is no need to rush from one extreme to the other. Thoughts like "threw, well, to hell with her, I'll find another!" - not the best way out of the situation. Peddle life is an attempt by a weak person to get away from solving urgent problems, to postpone them "for later." But it can turn out worse. Constant agitation and nervousness, and even warmed up by alcohol, are not the best advisers on the path of life. They will lead you into the jungle of experiences, from where it is not easy to find a way out.
Set a worthy goal for yourself... For example, traveling abroad. This requires a lot of work. A change of place, new impressions and acquaintances will help soothe the pain of parting. The understanding will come that life is beautiful and amazing, you should not get hung up on your "sore".
Away alcohol! Do not pour alcohol on the grudge of divorce. Where there is a guarantee that it will not tighten, no one can give it. Out of 5-6 drinkers, one becomes an alcoholic. A lonely person, when there are friends with a bottle and friendly consolations like “I respect you”, does not always manage to resist such false solidarity. You need to know about this, so that later you do not pay with your health and even greater anguish of loneliness.
Don't think badly about women.... Even after the divorce. If you think about them that "all women are bitches", this is the path to further failures in relations with them. Unhappiness sticks only to losers, to people who do not know how to think positively. Life is not an electric current, where plus goes to minus. As you yourself understand your life, you will find the same "intelligence". For good, you need to be able to break through all the suffering and torment. Through hardship to the stars! To do this, you need to learn to be critical of yourself. Only then will one meet the most beautiful, the only one in the world, with whom it will be possible to confidently step further through life.
It should be understood that both are to blame for the divorce.... Awareness of this truth will help to avoid further mistakes in relationships with women, will tell you how to rebuild your life in a new way. This is the key to new happy relationships and a healthy family life.
Don't forget about relationships with children.... You should not interfere with them in your "adult" affairs, try to win over to your side. It is necessary to try so that the divorce does not injure the still unstable child's psyche. When the kids grow up, they will understand their parents and maintain a good relationship with their father. And this is no longer loneliness.

If emotions after a divorce do not allow to "cool down", all attempts to calm down end in vain, stress continues to grow, everything falls out of hand, you don't want to live, and this continues for quite a long time, here you really need to contact a specialist. Only a psychologist or psychotherapist will help you get out of this situation.

It's important to know! You should never dwell on your problems, even if it's a divorce. You need to find the strength to rise above your resentment and look at the situation critically. This is the guarantee that this will not happen again in the future.

How to survive a divorce with the help of a psychologist?

When a man feels that divorce has hurt his psyche and he is unable to get out of such a situation, it is necessary to consult a psychologist. After getting acquainted with the patient's story, the specialist will prompt a way out of the situation.

It is good if you can do without medication. When stress is accompanied, for example, by binge, treatment with a narcologist is necessary in combination with psychotherapeutic sessions.

This could be, for example, a role-playing game in a group. Each one in turn tells his story, in a joint discussion they consider options for solving it. A man is convinced that he should not dwell on his problem, he is not alone in this position. In communication, there is a hope that not everything in life is lost. This is the value of this approach.

Only a sincere desire to get out of a stressful state after a divorce will help get rid of it. If a man continues to feel sorry for himself "such an unfortunate", there will be no sense in contacting a specialist.
