Hallo. My name is Sean Galla, and I am a facilitator for online support groups for men, including divorce groups.

I have been working with men for more than 11 years and know firsthand how divorce can affect the lives of men and why having a support system is vital through this journey. In this article, I will answer all the questions you have about life after divorce for men and give tips and helpful advice on how to navigate life after divorce as a man.

When you first met the woman you will later make your wife the first time, you were young and in love and could not imagine life without your significant other. You loved spending time together and spent every free moment together, sharing, loving, and building a life. One day you decided to propose, and they said yes, had a beautiful wedding, and started your life as a married couple. You shared your dreams of growing old together and raising a family. However, sometimes things don’t always go as planned.

‘We should get a divorce’ or ‘I want a divorce.’ These are some of the most devastating words anyone in a marriage can hear. Divorce is something nobody plans for, because no one gets married short term or to just to get divorced later. Divorce affects people differently. For some, it is a liberating experience that sets them free from what were mentally draining years of marriage, while for others, it can be the hardest thing because they did not think their marriage was failing until the spouse asked for a divorce. For any man, getting to understand this new reality can be a stressful part of the journey that takes time.

Generally speaking, married men are most reliant on their wives since women are natural caretakers. The wife spends a lot of time taking care of the children, the household, and the husband and is generally the glue that holds the family together. They are the husband’s confidant, listener, friend, and even therapist, always offering emotional support.

All these factors are taken away from the man after divorce. This causes most men to make erratic decisions to try to cope with divorce and this loss.

Once you have signed your name on the dotted line and finalized the divorce process, the dust settles, puts things into perspective, and leads to a journey of self-discovery. While some men may hit the ground running, others require more time to come to terms with what just happened. For some mean, divorce can lead to grief, despair, depression, denial, and sometimes physical and mental health issues.
