I’m Rachael Sloan, Master NLP Practitioner, certified life coach, and the creator of Better Beyond Divorce. I've helped hundreds of men move past the shock, betrayal, grief and anger they experience both during and after a divorce, to a place of clarity, calm and confidence. I hope to help you do the same.

I'm Rachael. I help men get through divorce and rebuild who they are to get healthy, get happy and move on with confidence.
Why is life so hard after divorce, especially for men? What keeps you struggling to get over your ex after divorce when other men move one, claiming that, for them, life is better after divorce? What separates you from them? That’s the question I’ll answer for you in this video, so that you know exactly how to rebuild yourself as the relaxed, happy, confident, capable man you’d like to be.
Life is hard after divorce for men for two reasons. The first is emotional. A divorce brings up a lot of painful emotions, and they are all linked to being with your partner. Which means when you think of the future, and of connecting intimately with someone new, it triggers all of the pain of your divorce. You can’t even think about how to meet women after divorce, because the very idea of being with one brings up all the nastiness of your divorce.
The second reason is simply that the end of a marriage is confusing. If you don’t fully understand what went wrong in your marriage, how can you look ahead and imagine creating a new one? Instead of moving on after divorce, many men stuck second guessing the past.
In order to finally get over your ex after divorce and move on with confidence, there are three things you need. You need a system for understanding and explaining the past (including the emotions that are coming up for you), a roadmap for success in the future and an intentional visualization practice.

My wife of 20 years divorced me whilst I was stuck in the UAE during the pandemic. I believe that she had been unfaithful to me and felt totally trapped. My children stopped talking to me and I was unable to return to our former matrimonial home. I had to rebuild a life bottom up. A new home, new city, new job. Use your targets to take your mind off how you feel about what you have lost. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Good luck to all who are going through this right now. You are all in my prayers!

Rachael there is one more reason why divorce can be extremely difficult. When your wife of nearly thirty years takes everything you have worked for to provide for her and kids future leaving you homeless. Theft of my share of our money and retirement account and a loss of career because of her actions on a lie. It's not impossible because I have over come some of those issues, but I had a hell of a time getting back to somewhat normal life even with a structured plan over the last 6 years. Money makes a huge difference on how a man can pick up the pieces and move on. Not so, if there is a lack there of. Living in a car for a good while can really become a test of resilience and perseverance in starting over.

I had no $ and signed the house over to my ex for $1 because she said she couldn’t afford to keep it & I didn’t want my kids to lose the only home they ever knew. After I did that I found out she’d been putting $ away for years & had enough to refinance, buy a new car & able to retire at 50. Then she lied to the court for 5yrs & claimed minimum wage when she actually made 20x that amount but she was self employed & falsified the paperwork. Meanwhile i lived with my elderly parents who lived only on SS & I didn’t have the $ to hire an attorney & prove she lied. My child support was 10x what it should have been but it’s over in May after 6yrs & I’ll be working til im 80 now while she’ll be laying on the beach. So I hear ya!! How do you move on when your blood boils!!! Im 51yrs old and it’s even harder & more frustrating to try to start over. I still haven’t dated since the divorce & you begin to feel how at this age do you even begin!?

I’ve been recovering from losing most of my life savings in a divorce, for a couple years now. This really is the best advice. I would add that it’s fine and harmless (in most states) to have the ceremony and do everything else to make a real marriage. But do not do the legal piece; it’s extremely dangerous with almost no upside. There’s around a 40% chance your partner will take or destroy most of what you built during the marriage (and in my case, before as well.) Many men are even losing what they build afterward, when their ex-wives see that they’ve recovered financially and want another piece of the pie.

I think there are a lot of men out there who would agree with you. In my coaching practice I have found that there is alternative to completely avoiding relationships with women. The reason that most people (not just men) find themselves suffering trauma in relationships is because they are repeating subconscious patterns they learned long ago about how to seek love and how to protect themselves. When you can recognize and change those patterns in yourself you free yourself to attract and experience new and different kinds of relationships. I've seen it happen many times with my clients. When they finally break free from the grip of those old patterns (and old beliefs about what relationships need to be like) they find themselves in a very different kind of relationship with a very different kind of woman. Humans are hard wired for connection. We crave it. It's been my experience that suppressing that by avoiding relationships may protect you from pain but it also creates a whole different kind of suffering. If instead you change the old pattern you can enjoy deep and intimate relationships without the trauma.

@@RachaelSloanRelationshipCoach I have not given up relationships completely. I received a txt about 2 months ago from a previous girl I knew and we met up. She had asked me on numerous occasions many years ago to marry her. I always said no. She had recently given up online dating. So I said to her that we could see each other but these are the rules. No marriage and no cohabitation ever. She has now agreed. Seems to be really hard for single mothers dating today. But this is the long term result of destroying men in divorce court. See what u think about "love" when u lose a lifetime of money, your children, and sleep in your car for 6 months. Never again.

Max Ward - Your comment really moved me inside and I really hope that things are getting better for you slowly but surely. The only so called comfort I can write is to tell you that many other men have marriage horror stories too but we tend to suffer in silence while women publicly, generally get lots of sympathy even when they are wrong. More and more men are now seeing that marriage is nothing but a financial insurance policy for women. If it does not work for any reason they will cash in via spousal support, child support, usually get the house, etc. In fact many women nowadays will actually get married to someone they may not particularly like but will do so for security. I even warn my own son not to get married even if she is a model. Definitely not hating on women because I love them but the rules are definitely weighted in their favor. I would rather face Mike Tyson in the ring than get married.

I spent alot of time on social media and was critical of my wifes family.. So my wife left me 2 years ago taking the three kids whom i absolutely adore. In that time ive been trying in vain to get her back. Shes now looking for a divorce. I just feel ive 15 years of hell ahead of me. Wife is building a new house and lives a half an hour away. I work shiftwork so i can only see the kids every odd weekend. They miss me too which is painful. I'm in my 40's and dont fancy sitting in bars on my own and any society i join is made up of retirees or v young people. I feel like ive missed the train with my wife and kids and im standing alone on the platform. Its so surreal and its hard to know the way ahead while not missing out on the kids. It feels like a dog eat dog world. Its easy for people to give advice but theyre not in this hole.

Guys do yourself a favor and figure out something good for yourself after the divorce. A lot of men don't stay in a struggling phase, 160,000 men have committed suicide over divorce issues. The divorce is going to absolutely be horrible, but do things for yourself after the divorce. If you're currently going through the divorce figure out what is on the other side of the storm, and keep your focus on that.

Its hard but trust in god, the most merciful, the one, life is not some mechanical two molecules smashed together, there is something deeper, a supreme conscious being who is essence of all, who created all of this to experience it all. God will definitely listen to our supplications and will compensate you handsomely for all your sacrifices and his karma will definitely take away the fulfillment and happiness from your wife's heart, and she will be so depressed, iam sure of it. God is never injust. after all god created everything as transaction and has cost and consequences just like newtons laws of physics for every action there is action equal and opposite in measure. I raised my hands in prayer and made supplications over my wifes actions and god heard my prayers many times, and made many instances her life harder.

24 years of marriage and we are now going separate ways. She is struggling because I am moving on, I am growing, changing and becoming the best version of myself and when she sees me I am rock solid emotionally. She has reverted to an ex fling, who is not a responsible choice, but I think a choice in an effort to make me, the person she wanted to leave jealous. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t care, you broke my heart, and that happens once. I am good, peace to all who are struggling, please take care of you and thrive….You got this!

Yeah it was super hard especially having been with a Narcissist for 18 years. It was hard at first as we have 3 kids. Then one day I just felt a sense of peace. I am also a person of faith. It has helped me immensely. The biggest hiccups are when I set boundaries with the ex and the usual rage that ensues on her part as she no longer has control over me. Still it is easier and easier to say no and ignore the rage.

Hi Ian, although you and I have spoken, I wanted to reply to you here as well in case the response is helpful for someone else in our YT community :) You wrote here that it's been over a month and you're still struggling on a daily basis. I just want to say that this is so very, very normal. A month is not a long time. I wish there were a magic pill to fix what you're feeling, but the reality is that divorce is a loss which requires grieving, and grieving takes time. In their hurry to escape the emotional pain of loss, I see and hear from many people who try to rush through grieving and the whole process of divorce recovery. Instead, I'd like to encourage you and anyone else who reads this to give yourself time and really honor what your mind and body need. Grieving is healthy. Moving through sadness, anger, hurt and even learning to process shame and guilt are not bad things. If you can learn to quiet your worrying thoughts and listen to your body, it knows how to move through grief. Our nervous systems know what to do if our brains stay out of the way. I'm writing this because one of the saddest things I see is people who skip or rush this process and then end up feeling bitter, mistrustful or disconnected from others in the future. They may have avoided pain and built up strong walls around their emotions, but those very defenses will also prevent them from connecting on a deep, intimate level in the future. And we're all human, which means we thrive within relationships. They don't have to be romantic relationships, or even necessarily human relationships (people with strong bonds to animals, nature or God have lived happy, fulfilled lives largely isolated from other people) but the human nervous system comes into balance most easily within a felt sense of connection. This has now been well researched within the fields of attachment science and emotionally focused therapy. The grieving process, if allowed to happen in your body, will help you move through the pain of your loss and out the other side in a way that allows you to take the risk of future connection, rather than building a barricade between you and the rest of the world. It takes time. And it involves feeling pain. But you won't be alone on that path, and I hope you can allow yourself to take it.

It sounds like maybe you've been through a messy divorce yourself? If so, I'm sorry to hear it. I would like to offer a glimmer of hope, if you're looking for one :) For a lot of men it feels like most women want money and resources and not much else. That's been their experience and those are the women they seem to attract/be attracted to. What they don't realize is that they're own subconscious beliefs and relationship patterns are the problem, not women in general. There are many women out there who value honesty, connection and shared values over money and resources. However many men won't notice or be attracted to those women because they are subconsciously acting out their own beliefs and patterns about love, attraction and relationships. These patterns are born in childhood and most of us go through life without ever examining or choosing them. You can enjoy a rich, healthy and happy relationship with a woman who isn't interested in your money (you can even enjoy a relationship with a woman who is the breadwinner in the relationship). But you can't do it unless you examine and shift some of your own underlying beliefs. You can attract a different kind of partner if you're willing to do a little work on your own brain.

We have a son turning two next month ever since my son was born it was like she disconnected from me. Sex was very far and in between. But I thought it was just her not liking her body after the birth. I tried telling her she was more beautiful then ever! But she turned 30 and 2 days later told me she wanted to be alone. She never gave me reason or anything she cut everyone off my sister also who she talked daily with. I feel like she is struggling with something and I just can’t help.

I know my childhood intricately and I was never fearful of abandonment. As early as 3 or 4 I would constantly devise ways to get away from my parents to go on adventures by myself. Far from being scared or "lost" i was always angry and defiant about being interrupted when found. My most famous was at 4 years old, finding my way miles away from our home on an air force base to the home of our housekeeper that I had only visited once previously via car ride. It's hard for me to fathom that I have fear of abandonment affecting me now. I just don't know how that's possible but I feel everything Rachael is describing.

apparently, The way a person will react after divorce has to do with early attachment in their first 2 years to their mother or primary caregiver. Some people were well fed and cared for and are securely attached. Others become avoiders or anxiously attached because they had some trauma in their first 2 years. If you can't get over your divorce, it might be something about your mother or lack thereof.

It’s so hard to think she’ll ever come back. Even after all the hard work I’ve put into myself since she divorced me. She’s living with her bf now and they had a kid together. She’s got our two children living under this guys roof too. Since she left I’ve gotten and stayed sober (almost 2 years sober) I’ve gotten a great job that I’ve kept and I’ve become such a great father and person. I pray everyday that either god helps us to reconcile and get back together or to heal my heart. I miss my kids being in my life everyday and tucking them in every night. I miss the touch of someone esp her. I never thought we’d really get divorced. I thought after I got myself together she’d come back. We never got a real shot together because I was drunk everyday. Nowadays, all I do is work and sometimes go to the gym. But I do drink so I don’t go out and I don’t really have friends anymore. So I’m alone all day everyday. I’ll be 33 this year and hope to god I don’t continue getting old and die alone. Idk how she can’t see that I’ve become the man she wanted me to be and have an interest in working things out. I’ve dated and had a couple girlfriends since being divorced but those relationships only last a couple months because my hearts not even close to being healed. That girl even after everything she’s done to be still has my heart.

Hi Omar. I'm sorry you're going through this. I'd like to encourage you to be gentle with yourself, and patient. You can find your purpose and be intentional about how you move forward in your life, but first there is a lot of emotion that needs to be felt and processed. If you're feeling overwhelmed, try breaking everything down into smaller chunks. What needs to happen right now, in this minute? Chunk out your time in your mind into hours and days. Don't try to predict or plan the rest of your life right now. In those small chunks of time, listen to your body. It will guide you and tell you what you need in order to move through the emotions coming up for you. You can't avoid or skip over the anger or grief... you have to move through it. Then you'll be able to create your future, but likely not before.

We were married in Boston and my family and friends had flown in. By the time she'd met me, I was a shell of my former self. Everyone close to me, even in MA, knew it wasn't healthy for me to stay that far away from from the life I'd previously built. Within four months after we were married, on my birthday no less, she told me she wasn't going to move and I could either file for divorce or stay. I was angry and embarrassed to get divorced so soon after out marriage. My pride and emotions got in the way of solid decision making. I chose to stay unwillingly and it ate at me. How could this woman claiming to love me do such a thing. I'd turned 37 that day and despite having dated a lot of women over the years, I finally decided she was the one. Wrong! In the intervening years I spiraled downwards. We'd even had a beautiful son, though I was suffering deep depression. By the time I'd met with a therapist for the first time in my life, I felt trapped and cornered. If I moved away, I would only be able to see my son once or twice a year and need to fly six hours there and back each time. It was agonizing. I hired a divorce attorney, though I was an emotional wreck. Months later she wanted to make things work out and move.The only way I could see my then five year old son was to remain married. It didn't solve all our issues and her edgy Boston personality had worn thin on me. A few months after getting back together while now living in Seattle, she was pregnant. Holy shit! I was finally able to locate a therapist who has been working with me for 2.5 years helping to put Humpty Dumpty back together. It was painful to trace many of my issues back to childhood and link those experiences to choosing a spouse that wasn't right for me and had been tapping into specific painful parts of me I wasn't aware existed. Through lots of steps forward and steps back, the therapist helped me distill many of my issues down to one point. My spouse wasn't a bad human being attempting to intentionally hurt me, though our personalities and communication didn't mesh. No matter what we tried, and I'm an open person, she has a wall that was never going to come down. In summary, now I know what I need in a woman. No one is perfect, though it's now abundantly clear to me now about what I don't want in a relationship.

Men lose their status, social circles and entire reality in divorce. The financial and family pressures are real.. and yes family courts are imbalanced. But the real challenge for men is navigating a world that only values sex, and as a result, disproportionately provides support and attention largly to women because of that obsession. The burden of performance also rests largly on men, so we have to work so much harder to turn our lives around, rebuild skills, and ultimately re-acclimate to the single world. Women have endless optionality, whereas men are mostly overlooked unless they are in the top percent of desirable men. Focus on yourself guys, relearn your skillset, develop new habits and hobbies, try to find a good church. Don't bother with dating or women until you get yourself right.

This is not the time to meet someone else. You have healing to do first. When we go through this kind of deep relational trauma, we have choices. Either we can allow the wound to fester, or even pour salt on it, and our window of tolerance for risk and connection will shrink. Many, many people do this, and they end up living very small and lonesome lives. The alternative is to do the hard work of going into the pain, dealing with the difficult emotions and moving through it so your nervous system can rebalance and your capacity for both love and grief expand instead of contract. It is possible to live a rich, full life with love and connection after divorce, but it requires a lot of courage to first go into your own wounds and do the work of healing what has been injured inside of you. That work is scary, and it helps to have a community at your side. It's hard to explain it fully here in a comment, but I made a free masterclass that does a better job of speaking to this process. You can find it here: resources.rachaelsloancoaching.com/masterclass-register

Nobody can rush normal healing work everybodyheal differently. Only you will know how you're going to heal and is nobody's business. Is your pain your loss and people needs to understand and respect the times. Is not that you are insensitive or cold is a painful process is not a party. You'll be ready when you You'll. Nobody knows when is going to be. Is just respect for grieving and process what's going on that's all. Respect the time to heal 🙏 good luck for this. COÑO is time to cry and organize the life.

For men, the difficult part is realizing that women do not experience true love. Women do not "love" in the sense that men understand it. Love for women will always be conditional and based on their own self serving agenda. When a man accepts this and fully processes it completely, he can move on into a new world devoid of this unfortunate game. After that, life becomes amazing. We just need to let go of the idea that women actually "love" anything.

Whenever the brain uses absolutes like "ALL women do xyz" or "women will NEVER love", it is a pretty strong clue that we're operating from biases driven by fear. If you've been through the ringer in a divorce, that fear makes a lot of sense. The brain wants to protect you from that kind of devastating future pain by writing off all women and creating a clear set of beliefs and rules that will protect you. But protection like that can easily become a prison that isolates you and prevents you from experiencing love and meaningful connection.

@@RachaelSloanRelationshipCoach Fear? You're damn right. I'm fearful of falling to my death but I work at height and rock climb with confidence for recreation, eh? I can control the danger with constructive fear balanced by reality and decision making. The amount of real danger with women far outweighs any benefit. Women offer no venue to participate that is reliable, rational nor honest. These are not "beliefs" that dictate my rules but the clear facts of this game. Let me rephrase for clarity: The vast amount of women have shown that their concept of love is based on agenda and gain, certainly not respect or appreciation for the individual. This is not a meaningful relationship, nor love. This kind of "meaningful connection and love" is worthy of isolating from and you are now seeing men avoid it en masse for excellent reasons. Women have been assessed as an uncontrolled life hazard that cannot be mitigated to acceptable levels. This is men's experience talking, with their feet. There is no argument against this, it is happening rationally. If this is women's demonstrated type of love... we don't want it. We are just fine without this sort of "love and affection", don't worry. I understand that women are in a panic over losing so many valid financial sponsors at such a fast rate but it is not men's problem. Men decide who to ask to marry, who they court or even take on a date. Regardless of what women think about how men should choose for relationships... women advertise themselves and men choose them or not. More and more men do not like the offerings so are choosing to be alone. That is where we are at, men have learned to avoid the problems associated with women. it is women who cannot be alone and that is a women's problem it seems.

The comparison isn't fair. The majority of men who face an unwanted divorce, can't just be happy and fulfilled whatever they try to do to cope. It takes (a lot of) time before reaching that state which is only "level 0" = wanting to start over. Men you are comparing them to, are the ones who wanted the divorce, who had options before leaving, who were maybe caught cheating, or had ambitions that their exes didn't share, so they knew clearly it was better for them to leave. They always were prepared to leave! They mostly weren't invested in the RS. So it's not a question of "knowing how", it's a question of state of mind before "learning how" if learning is needed.

@@Da_Captn Yes, you just can't compete with hypergamy. My experience: When I left her (for no one else) because of her recent series of disprespect, and the discovery of what looks like cheating or a start of cheating. She chose to bring me back by faking a prengancy. And when I started to try to stitch thing, I discovered that she was just preparing to find somebody else while "trying" to keep me as an option. she couldn't take the fact that I can leave, especially for nobody (she doesn't know how to do that). It was a vengeance and I fell for it. I still can't swallow this pill (after leaving for the good reasons, I fell for the first trap) but in my original comment, I was talking about the comparison between a sad/lost man AND other men who don't give a F* after a separation. I explained that it's not a question of learning HOW to do it, it's a question of not WANTING to do it, because they cared about the relationship. Everybody knows what should be done to move on. but you can't play your mind. only after zillions of heartbreaks, a man can learn to be cold. but this comes at a cost : even your relationships become cold. You can't just activate warm mode during the RS and cold mode after a breakup.

Dear Emanuel, I believe that you strongly believe you have no options, but that is still a belief. Often it is a strong belief that the brain doesn't like to let go of, because if you let go of that belief you would have to do things that are scary... like putting yourself out in the world in ways that could end in rejection. Until you feel grounded and confident within yourself, you may find yourself clinging to the belief that there are no options for you... yet it is still a belief. There are options for everyone. 80 year old men get married. Women fall in love with fat men, with short men, with men with giant noses and lots of ear hair. It happens every day. I have worked with two different clients, both the same age, similar looks, similar incomes, etc. One believed he had no options and hadn't spoken to a woman since his divorce. The other had 4 girlfriends at the same time. If your brain insists there are no options for you, then it is time to get curious about that belief. Why is it important to believe that? What is that belief protecting you from?

@@bigwavejohn8886 Being in a foreign country definitely makes things harder. It highlights the feeling of being on your own. I lived in Oaxaca, Mexico for a few years and I can relate to that feeling. I'm glad you have your daughters and now little Margrit. I don't know if you're looking for more support or tools, but if you are you might like my new masterclass. It's free and it goes a little deeper into the 'how to' of emotional regulation, which could be helpful in your present circumstances.

It definitely doesn’t have to be that way, but I know it feels like that at first. Especially the finances and if you are going through a custody battle. I talk on my channel about all kinds of strategies to get through it, that you can actually implement easily if you think it would help you. Good luck to you.

It is simple. And it is also incredibly difficult. It requires cultivating real awareness of powerful and often unbearable emotions, primal reactions and deeply ingrained beliefs that are continuously reinforced by the people and media around you. Most human brains revolt at that idea, which is why so many people stay stuck. But they don't have to. It takes great courage, commitment and hope to do this kind of work, but the people who take that risk can and do change their lives for the better. I have the great privilege of watching that happen every day.

"Regardless of whether it was you or your wife who initiated the divorce..." Believe me, it was the wife.

Unfortunately it usually is, about 70-80% of the time. But I do hear from quite a few men who initiate, and those stories can be helpful in understanding how painful divorce is for everyone involved.

It’s hard to get over when the man causes the divorce, because of the divorce their 8yr daughter is in therapy. The exwife is dating his friend. How do you expect them to get closure. Seems unreachable to me

@RachaelSloanRelationshipCoach Жыл бұрын
It is quite a process, that is for certain. There is a lot to look at and unpack. What I can tell you is this - I've seen it happen. There are men inside my coaching program and community who are doing this every single day, and I find myself deeply humbled and inspired by them. The work to get to that closure can be challenging. It requires a lot of courage and a commitment to engage consistently in the process. Because of that, many people never do it and end up staying in a pretty miserable place for a long time. But your daughter deserves to have her father in her life - her whole father, not the wounded version who is hobbled by the past. I think that is why many of my clients take the leap and commit to doing the work - so they can be there in the way that their children need them to be. You can move forward from this. It is truly incredible the healing I have seen men achieve, through hard work, courage and commitment. I can't do the work for you, but I can give you an effective, step by step process to follow and connect you with a community of men who are undertaking something very similar. You can find details here: www.rachaelsloancoaching.com/better-beyond-divorce Whether you do this work with me or elsewhere, please do it. There is another side to this for you, and perhaps even more importantly, for your daughter. You can get there.

Hi Michael, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm afraid there are a lot more men impacted by spousal abuse than most people realize, and it is something that could use more discussion and awareness. How are you doing now?

Thank you for watching and commenting. I agree with you. In my coaching practice I work every day with men who are going through agony that I can not even adequately describe. I've had more than one war veteran tell me that the this is far and away the worst pain they've ever been in. I also have the immense priviledge of partnering with these men and witnessing their healing. It is inspiring and, frankly, awesome. You are right to say that I cannot fully understand. What I do know is that healing is possible, even from the depths of despair so deep that someone can't imagine staying alive. I've seen it many times, and I get to witness it daily in my work.
