Why Men Quit Dating After Divorce (And Why It’s Not Too Late for You)
These 3 beliefs are keeping you lonely after heartbreak.
Women have become too dangerous for men.
That’s how Jamie felt after divorce detonated his life. His ex pulled the plug on their 7-year relationship — and confessed to an affair in the same breath.
He felt defeated. Betrayed. Like love is a scam.
He swore he’d never date again.
Deep down, Jaime still craved intimacy. But the risk was too great. It didn’t feel safe anymore. Besides, he had his 8-year-old son to raise.
So he went into survival mode. Numbed himself with whisky, Uber Eats, and streaming binges.
Many men are like Jaime; stuck behind a self-righteous shield.
They’ve quit romance.
Loneliness feels safer. But the void it creates is equally painful. They know something needs to change, but they don’t know how.
If this is you, hear this: Dating after divorce isn’t complicated.
You just gave up before getting to the juicy part. But if you break these three beliefs, you’ll be smiling again. Excited to date. Grateful for a blank canvas to start living again.
