Why do you feel you can't get over your divorce? What are some of the things that went wrong in the relationship, and what are some of the things that went right? What does your ideal relationship look like? What are some qualities your previous partner didn't have that you would like to have in a partner? Are you able to do certain things that you couldn't do before now (i.e. traveling, taking a new job, taking a class or two at a gym/college/university, joining a community group, and/or volunteering)? Do you have a support system (friends and/or family) that you can reach out to?

Your divorce happened with a reason. You may be in this situation because it is better for you. It doesn't matter who has been wrong and who has been right, all what matters is that you have a life to live, a love to meet and a heart to satisfy. What is meant to be will be.

Healing isn't a linear process. The ups and downs are natural. You have been married for a while and divorce is something new in your life. It is natural for it to take time to sink in, to accept it, to regret it even and be affected. I'm afraid I don't know the rest of the story to help you appropriately but what I'd suggest that you focus on self-care and well-being. May I suggest some questions for you to answer for yourself? To feel better after a hard time I _________. I feel refreshed when I ___________. What I really need is __________. I'm here for you. You can message me anytime

The end of a marriage is indeed a sad event. It comes with the need to grieve, to seek closure and to contemplate life on completely new terms to what you have previously envisioned. This needs time, patience and kindness to yourself. You're human and you're entitled to the emotions and memories. Allow them some space in your day so that you can slowly work your way up to relegating them to more comfortable alternative emotions associated to the memories.

I think you should try to move on with your life. Find someone who makes you happier! Find your passion or start a new hobbie.. Just become happy! Live your life as an individual now till you find a new life companion.

Although I am young and unexperienced when it comes to divorce, I know, personally, the effects divorce can have on people.

I recommend getting counseling to help with the emotions. You also may want to involve yourself in something that gets you out and among other people on a regular basis. Sitting hom watching TV or online is probably just going to aggravate the situation.

This question is tough as it is different for everyone. For those with minor children involved it is necessary to communicate rationally for the best options for children. Sometimes harsh decisions must be made and only time is the best healer of wounds. If the feeling of 'can't let go' is purely related to the spouse, the 'weaning off' your ex as you would a drug is not a helpful choice. Surround yourself with supportive people and make permanent location and career decisions that help you focus on something other than being discarded. I have faced this problem in my lifetime and years later, discovered that the split was a blessing to me rather than a curse. 'Time' is a harsh and sometimes painful obligation, but it DOES heal!
