For Divorced Men - Did it hurt when you got divorced?

Question

My boyfriend just got divorced (officially - they have been separated for over two years). He just got the papers and he said he's not sad at all. I've never been married but I wonder if a part of him is at least a little sad. He says no - what do you men out there think? Is it possible to feel absolutely no sadness at all when you finally receive those divorce papers? Thanks for your input!

Answer 1

my answer is yes if u really throw all feeling in it.Cos me oso divorced few years ago.

Answer 2

my father has a friend who recently divorced and he's been very miserable. some men find extreme happiness in divorce becuase they are not tied to commitment anymore. but i would like to think  that most are pretty stressed out about it.

Answer 3

He will be going though a roller coaster of emotions, but he will never say that he is sad to you.

It also depends on if he has kids with her, how long they were married, how long the divorce took, as well as several other factors.

For me it was a happy day when it was finally finished, but it took over a year because I was in Iraq when it all went down, and she was dragging it out for the medical coverage and the extra money that the army made me pay her.

Answer 4

i am letting go and that way my emotions aren't taking over my life i need to move forward and not reminisce on the past that way i can be happy when it is over and done with if you continue to think about your past with someone that you knew you weren't going to change them you can't move forward because while you were together there was no change so moving on is a way of letting go.
