That seems to be the root of the problem. Do you have children?
- ak39 8y agoI thought so too. But didn’t want to post because it is a total guess. Breaking and ending a once loving, intimate and totally absorbing relationship is one of the hardest things for a human to endure. The end of anything is always sad, the end of relationships most of all. But again, we are guessing. Life’s multifactorial and single issues often connect, catalyse and exaggerate what the mind imagines to be a single stress. Wish the OP all the best.
- dawidw 8y agoI asked about children not because of curiosity, but how to deal with the situation. I think if OP doesn't have kids, then the best would be just finish all the contacts with ex-wife. Physical and mental. It's mental effort due to fact that you can't forget you had wife. If OP has kids, the situation is more complicated. Kids need parents, even they are divorced/separated. So I would encourage to keep the best contact with them as possible in certain circumstances. The problem is that there will be need to constantly meet ex-wife, and that would require even bigger mental effort to deal with it.
