[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Divorced a couple of years ago. Have been extremely uncomfortable from a mental/emotional standpoint since, mostly because my future feels so uncertain.

Before divorce, I imagined holidays where the kids come home, my spouse and I helping with grandkids, me and my spouse on vacation, our home filled with happiness.

With divorce, that idea is no more. I live in an apartment, I see my kids half the time, and I feel so lost. I feel like a total loser. I went into divorce knowing it would be hard, but I wasn’t expecting to feel this way.

Anyone out there experience similar feelings? I don’t know how to get past this and I find myself fantasizing about pre-divorce life, wondering if I made a mistake. [/quote]

OP, I’m in the process now after a long marriage.  It was not my decision.  I’m really struggling with the things you mention.  My future will look very different now and I’m scared and sad and resentful.  I’m seeing a therapist and trying to work on myself in hopes of making peace with the whole thing, but I would really like a magic wand or a fast forward button.[/quote]

Why did he want the divorce?[/quote]

The usual reason – shiny new toy.  [/quote]
