Divorce is breaking up of tangible relationships. If you are unable to cope with this, means you are now experiencing the side results of the thing! May be you were not ready for the thing but due to some conditions or things you decided to end up in divorce. However when you think about memories or romance times or day dreaming or simply moving on sometimes it is not easy to let go. I guess listening to soothing music and sharing emotions through tears would result in let go! Also a simple meeting with the X would make a positive move!

Take it 1 step at a time, these things takes time. Just remember that the divorce happened for a reason. And always learn from it as you move forward.

It is hard. You're not expected to get over it fast. But you will. Your pieces will all fall back together and you'll be okay again. Just think positive.

Definitely see a counselor. Its important to move on and focus on the rest of your life instead of living in the past which can't be changed.

That's okay. When someone is an important figure in your life for such a long time, the lack of their presence is going to strange for a long time. You know your situation better than anyone else, so I can't say with certainty what course of action is best for you. However, making an effort to engage in activities like working out, or dancing, or even socializing with new people can help to bring other sources of happiness into your life. With that, it might not seem so impactful. Regardless, there is no time limit for mourning or change. Don't feel like you need to push against how you are feeling. If you acknowledge it and show some compassion for yourself, it might go a long way.

when you say "I can't get over my divorce" I completely understand because sometimes it could be very difficult to get over a divorce. I am not sure the reasons behind your divorce or why you can't seem to get over it. Just please remember that at times when we try to make a marriage better we make it even worse. Maybe the " should have, could have's" are now coming up but where you are now is the place you need to be because you did what at "that time" was the right thing to do for you. In the many conversations i have had with friends over the years they have described divorce in different ways for me it was the word "loss" it was the only word that made sense in my brain. Even as the relationship was toxic and I was ready to be out I labeled it loss and let myself go through the grief process (denial, anger, negotiation, depression and acceptance) I did it in order to find self-healing, forgiveness and move on.

Go out on a date! Have some fun! Go out with your friends! People usually can't get over their divorces because they either 1.) ended on bad terms or 2.) did something they wished they hadn't

Well I'm not sure what you have tried to do to get over your divorce . But I can give u a few ideas and hopefully there is one that could help . Well first if you have any close friends or even co workers that u want to get close with go out there and have fun . If your having fun you are less likely to think about things like your ex wife of husband. 2 Do something new. You are so use to your daily habits of your ex that maybe doing some of those things might be painful in ur memories , Pick up a new hobby maybe dansing or hiking or sailing . It will keep you occupied esp if you really like that sport or activities .3 work out . You may be feeling down in the dumps about yourself . So make your self more beautiful or handsome by getting a slim or muscular body so you can have higher self esteem about yourself . 4 I don't suggest jumping into a reltionship but just go on dates with guy friends or girl friends . Being around someone of the opposite gender that's attrated to you will also boost your confidence :) I hope I helped good luck

Do something for yourself. Sit down and think about all the reasons you are better off without your ex.
