How to get through divorce emotionally, as a man:

Part 1: Overview of the Emotions of a Man Going through Divorce
Shock
Betrayal
Grief
Anger
Isolation (stronger than loneliness)
Confusion

We all know that women file more often than men, which sets them up to be further along in the process of grieving and moving on. But there is more to it than that.

The blame game from your ex wife, societal messaging and regret itself all make it harder to get through divorce if you're a man.

All of those influences add up to a loss of identity. This is why the emotions of a man going through divorce can get in the way of him healing and moving on. Because those emotions are about more than the feelings themselves, they are symptoms of an underlying loss of identity.

Understanding how to deal with negative emotions is key for recovering from divorce. Once you can successfully regulate and manage guilt, grief, anger, loss and all the rest, you create space to work on the underlying problem: the loss of identity and the self doubt that comes along with it.

These steps apply to all the emotions of divorce, grief to anger to fear to loneliness. You can use them for getting over divorce guilt or shame.

When we're discussing how to deal with divorce as a man, we're talking about working in two main areas. The first step to getting through divorce is to quiet and manage your emotions. That creates the mental and emotional space to work on the underlying self doubt, which is really about getting over divorce guilt and self-blame.
