Surviving Divorce: David Sbarra at TEDxTucson 2012

[@ferrumregit4252]

Married almost 22 years and my marriage is over. I’ve never experienced this pain before.

[@shimmieparry1182]

Same here.. 22 years, the love of my life walked out to live with another woman. Hes surrounded by women and friends and is happy. My life is ruined and the pain is indescribable 💔 im sorry you feel like this too. Mine happened about a month ago too. We are identical in our situation, and I'm so sorry your suffering too.

[@kaySZN-y7n]

I'm with you also Ferrum, 22 years and he switched up. However I could not and would not take it to heart. This was his undoing so we chose to walk away respectfully. 20 + years is a life prison term and we've paroled about. Time to live freely and discover yourself before the next relationship comes. It'll happen, you'll see. 🥰

25 years next week for me and we’re in middle of divorce. I have days where I’m optimistic and days where I grieve to reconcile. I lost my 13 yo brother to a car accident when I was 11 years old, and there are moments when my emotions are worse than what I felt that day. There’s no infidelity, but there has been emotional neglect for many years that finally caught up with us. Combined with financial issues and work life balance issues, everything came off the rails. Good luck to everyone out there going through this. Regardless of the scenario the emotions are probably the same and we have to hope for brighter days.

[@RichardReeves-u2f]

@cloubydoo How did it go? I'm going through this but it's been 12 years married, 16 together.

[@cloubydoo]

⁠I delayed the process in hopes of reconciling, but in the end we were unable to find common ground. There was no partnership, she wants what she wants and there are too many years of emotional neglect on both sides that won’t allow for reconciliation. So, the divorce is reaching its final stage now.

[@lindsaym6607]

I am currently going through divorce with my husband of 9 years. It literally feels like death. The betrayal and all of this has seriously given me PTSD. I expected for my husband and I to be together forever and this happened! He was the only man I have been with. He just turned into a nightmare because of our issues. I was not innocent in all of this but I would have never thought of cheating on him like he did to me. The first time it happened I said ok we can get through this. But he turned it into a habit and said he wanted a divorce. He had it in his mind for a while that he wanted to leave and he finally did it. Everyone tells me its not my fault and he has personal issues but I still struggle with the guilt of feeling like I was a bad wife. I also deal with the guilt of loving someone that doesn't even respect me. When we first got married he was the most loving and kindest person. I thank God we have no children in this ordeal. I hate myself for still loving him and wanting to work this out. I have the support at my fingertips emotionally, mentally and spiritually. But I need a lot of work. I have nightmares, i cant sleep, i have mental images of him being intimate with other women racing through my head and I starting to find myself becoming bitter. I pray so hard to just get through the day and to block these thoughts. I have never in my life gone through anything so devastating and heartbreaking!

Divorced after 5 years known for 10 since 13. Hardest thing ever and the world has no remorse for you. Coming from a place where divorce isn’t common this was the hardest thing ever but i was tired of not receiving enough love or the love I felt I deserved. I now know there’s others out there willing to give 10x the amount of love I received in the past.

i had a divorce, it was the worse. your whole life stops

[@Adam_Banks]

I feel you guys in the comments. I was only 5 years in with 2 young kids. I’m about a month out of the finalized divorce, and still I’ve never experienced anything this painful besides forgiving multiple affairs over the years I guess. Trying to figure out the whole single dad thing and keep myself together for the kids that depend on me every day is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Watching all my friends happily get married and have kids just makes me more bitter when I should be happy for them. Growing up you think “oh that won’t happen to me, my marriage is going to be forever” but sometimes no matter how hard you try it fails. I know people go through it all the time and people get through it, but it’s a harsh reality. I thought my marriage would be forever and it did nothing but shake the very idea of what I thought marriage was. How do people get through this and still have some faith in having a happy marriage one day without holding on to the “no one’s ever going to hurt me like this again” mentality? It just seems so out of reach right now.

[@mrsullivantutors]

I have been journaling everyday for the last 30 years- emotional journaling. I have PTSD, depression, anxiety and have been divorced for 1 year. I realized that journaling has kept me in a loop of my life… I am crying out for help for the same things over and over again. I’m pushing rewind and play everyday. It’s a horrible cycle. I am going to take a break from journaling for 30 days and see if anything changes. Thanks

[@HD-pr1tb]

What you have no one to go to? I went through divorce and had to pull myself together on my own. There was no one and I had to protect my son and be strong for him. I had to navigate alone and deal with a tough job. It had no safety net. This is the reality for so many people too.

[@Lucky-r7y7w]

I used to think singlehood was reserved for a special portion of the population. People who had a lot to do with their lives and were best forging ahead on their own. Now, I strongly hold the view that it is marriage that is for a special few. People who can remain loyal throughout all the changes their partners will go through in the years. People who are incredibly selfless. This is to say, if you know you have even one selfish bone in Your body, DO NOT GET MARRIED.

[@gregcooper2268]

Agreed. The words I have heard for the past month have been cold, yet selfish. I always thought marriage was compromising and working through things but with today's society, it's we hit a tough patch, let's just get a divorce. The other divorces are from lying and infidelity.

[@ravindrapersaud7608]

@SadRahne sorry to hear that. I am going though the same thing but I infidelity happened on her side. I forgave but apparently thay was the wrong thing to do as she did the same thing again and started lying even more. Had to let go. It's hard but I keep asking myself whenever I keep thinking about it if I would really be happy if I had not let go

I have gotten another chance and I am happy. Please don't forget that marriage can be great if you want it to be. Never take it for granted and live every minute of it.

[@neilinaluaracailie]

Hello dear

[@peryton4598]

​@@thosethickstringsit isn't that simple. When you're not feeling loved and cared for it is very painful. It is compounded when your spouse continues to isolate you and spends time drinking and drinking and spending time with their 'friend' and states it is because their 'friend' understands them. When you tell them that they need to stop drinking because that's elevating their depression and that they need to make choices to spend more time with the family and they tell you they're going to continue to drink because that's what they want to do. Then you become depressed and lonely and you feel you are completely unimportant to them.

sleep like a baby? are you kidding me? I can't sleep worth a crap going through this. it's terrible

[@jck5152]

Cody 81 - I hear you my friend. Going through the same thing right now. I think it's normal to not be able to sleep well at certain times in life - this is certainly one of them. It will pass with time - maybe lots of time - but eventually it will pass. Sleep is something that cannot be forced. "Trying" too hard to sleep only leads to more frustration and more wakefulness. Peaceful acceptance of not being able to sleep and repeating the mantra - "eh, I will sleep again some day" is the way to go. It sucks. I know.

[@cmgrealestatellc]

I didn't sleep good before. Now it's terrible. I can't sleep. I can't stay awake. How do you get past this?

[@suekruse8953]

My trick to getting good sleep during divorce was to purchase an electric blanket - when the bed felt cosy and inviting I found I nodded off straight away - no fretting over sleepless nights and I felt much more able to deal with the break down.

[@fredhubbard7210]

Yeah, well you weren't arrested, or jailed for groundless allegations. As a woman, I also doubt that your friends and family abandoned you, saying "You must have done something, or this wouldn't have happened to you." Or "You deserved it because if you were really committed to her, she would have been happy." I'm kind of guessing, but I also doubt your children weren't taken from you. If getting an electric blanket was all you needed, you didn't have much to deal with.

[@Thebridgeacross]

Amazing talk by Dr. Sbarra! Surviving divorce is a process and self-compassion is just the start of being able to recover to face challenges. Divorced parents should understand that they still have responsibilities to themselves, and especially to their kids.

[@Tatiana-cd1vu]

I am going through the divorce now and the things mentioned in the video are easier said than done, especially the advice about the sleep sucks :D I guess it also depends on who initiates the divorce, in my case I was the one who was left behind and my soon to be ex is happy and in a new relationship already. I could not sleep well for a couple of weeks until I saw a doctor and got pills few days ago. But I am trying to be more compassionate with myself and stop blaming myself for everything. And just today, I decided to start viewing my divorce as a blessing and told God I trust his actions and plans with me. I believe time will show why certain things happen the way they do...

I'm married to a narcissist. I love her and care for her deeply. We have a 10 yr old daughter. She had a 5 year long affair and has had ZERO remorse about it, I've been utterly devastated the past year clinging to hope, praying she would see my pain and have compassion. That day has yet to come. Most men would've left at the discovery of an affair, I had to be hospitalized and medicated because I was hysteric and in such grief I couldn't go to work. I ended up losing my job because of it, it consumed me. All the years of lies came together like a puzzle and it literally brought me to my knees.

[@danielleinad6019]

I'm in the middle of this utterly painful uncoupling process. She is the love of my life, my true soulmate. We've been together since 2009 and married since 2014. The foundation of our relationship was special, unusual and deep. But now, after a "grace period" of 6 months, it's over. She doesn't feel it anymore and I totally understand her. My last depressive episode lasted one year and it left nothing but an emotional wasteland. She was suffering and seeing my true love suffer because of my behavior made my mental state even worse. With two kids, loads of work and other challenges, it's anything but easy to hold everything together and stay on the rails as a couple. I never thought that this deep connection could ever come to an end. Never. But it did and it hurts like nothing else.

Thanks for sharing. My marriage is broken and my wife isn't responding to my pleas for help and professional counselling. Her resentment is too deep and she has been stonewalling me each time I try to pacify her.

My recommendation for Marriage 2.0 in today's world: 1) Subject to a 4-year renewal period (non-renewal results in dissolution of union) 2) Does not involve the state whatsoever 3) Terms of separation is based on post-nup signed during the contractual period 4) All parties represented by a taxpayer-funded family mediator, not an expensive lawyer with a vested interest in separating your from your money!

My ex chose divorce after 13 years of marriage. I tended to her needs. Did all the cooking, cleaning and laundry. Ate crow from her mother every time she came over (which was often).

I didn't stop the pastors wife from colluding, even pressuring my wife to go to the police to have me arrested on groundless claims. Do I need to point out that Christ remained single? AND advocated to remain single? Yup, and ditto for Apostle Paul. You have been brainfucked by a gynocentric religious community that has been overtaken by women.

I’m divorcing my narcissist husband after 11 years of physical, emotional and mental abuse.Being kicked, threatened with death and screamed-at, it isn’t really about losing love, as trying to navigate through the legal system.

He’s neglected to pay the house payment, which I can’t because I have MS and am on disability. So, I probably will lose my home, plus my credit is ruined. My attorney wrote a letter to the judge asking for penalties and jail time; nothing. That’s the worst part. How do I put my life back together when I’ve already been ruined? That’s the pain I face everyday.

I disagree with not journaling! Granted you cannot “wallow” too much, but you have to channel the emotions somewhere. Most people do not want your sadness, anger, confusion fostered on them. Of course, everyone has their own ideas about how to move on, but with this comes grief of “what if”, “maybes” and “why”. Everyone finds their way back somehow, but no one needs to feel guilty if they decide to write down their emotions. We live in cultures that ask how are you, but no one really wants to know!
