What to do and how to live further
If the wife left with the intention of divorcing the marriage, one should not give free rein to emotions.
In the heat of the moment, you can “break the woods” and forever deprive yourself of the opportunity to restore a relationship with the woman you love. Short term tactics:
- Don't ruin your relationship with your ex-wife. In moments of quarrel, do you feel the urge to express all your accumulated grievances, to insult your spouse or to hurt your feelings more painfully? It’s better to stop and think about your monologue. After all, the words once spoken will hang in the air. And even if the family is restored, somewhere in the woman’s subconscious the man’s insults and revelations will be deposited.
Don't complain. You should not tell your family and friends in detail about quarrels with your wife. Attempts to put your spouse in a bad light will lead to the fact that even after reconciliation, people from your close circle will treat her poorly. If you need to tell someone close to you about a quarrel, try to avoid details and a detailed retelling of events.
Don't try to drown out your feelings with alcohol. Going on a binge is not a solution to the situation. Most likely, your friends will encourage you to go to the nearest bar and have a couple of drinks while having a heart-to-heart conversation. Giving in to temptation means increasing the chance that spontaneous stupidity will be committed (under the influence of alcohol). And tomorrow you will have to repent for a drunken visit to your wife, an offensive SMS or calls to her parents.
Long term tactics:
- Don't rush into a new relationship. A new relationship really helps to take your mind off things. But if your ex-wife finds out that you have a girlfriend immediately after the breakup, the chances of getting your spouse back will be reduced to zero.
- Don't stop communicating with your ex-wife. This applies to both those who simply want their wife back, and those who have children together with their spouse. Maintaining communication means winning your place in the “new life” of your ex-wife in advance.
- Don't compare your situation to others. You should not try to take actions based on other people’s tips and advice. Only the husband knows what degree of trust there was in the family, the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship. You should look for a way to solve a problem only in your head, thinking about possible actions and their consequences.
After the wife leaves, there will be a feeling of emptiness inside.
A condition occurs that is called “emotional swing.”
For a while, you can let go of the situation and even find the advantages of divorce.
And then resentment, fear, jealousy and other unpleasant feelings roll in like a wave. And so on in a circle. In moments of negativity, you need to switch to any activity, be it work, household chores, reading books, watching movies or sports.
Don't try to solve the problem "here and now" by coming up with cunning plans and convincing lies. Take time to think.
Evaluate your behavior and your wife’s behavior as if from the outside. Analyze your relationships and the reasons for quarrels. This will help you make the right choice between “try to return” and “let go.”
Forgive and forget everything
Many people believe that to forgive means to completely get rid of the feelings of resentment that they once felt. In addition, this often comes with new expectations. The other half believes that the partner has realized his mistake and will not make it again.
Many married couples try to throw away all the negative burden after breaking up. Before you do this, you need to re-evaluate everything first. It is a mistake to believe that a person can change his attitude towards something that he does not like at all.
Complete reconciliation is only possible when a man and woman understand why exactly they decided to separate. After appropriate conclusions, partners may have a second chance to create a strong alliance.
Divorce for a woman
The initiative to destroy a marriage in most cases belongs to the homemakers. Basically, when patience has already run out, and it is not possible to establish a personal life with your husband. Despite the conditional preparation, divorce takes a serious toll on psychological health. And there is no one who rushes into a free life shouting: “Hurray!”, no matter how unsuccessful the marriage and bad the man. Even with preparation, it is difficult to establish a personal life.
Which, of course, is wrong. They devote themselves entirely to their offspring. Children are a great blessing. But what happens when they grow up and fly out of the nest? And there is no point in burying yourself ahead of time. Everyone wants to improve their personal life and find love after a divorce. Some people have a fickle lover, which is also wrong. Love is an important aspect and if it is not there, it is impossible to feel happy.
Over time, a man will definitely appear with whom you want to meet, fall in love and even marry. Recommendations from experts will tell you how to improve your personal life.
How can you return your wife to the family with prayers?
For believers, family discord is always a serious test. If a couple was married and swore their love before God, then such bonds are much stronger than worldly ones. But sometimes even those who believe in God have a hard time.
If it is necessary to return a wife to the family after she has left her husband, then a believer will go to church to confess and ask for advice. There are special prayers that address Saint Matrona as the patroness of marriage. It is her who turns to people who need help in family matters.
But sometimes it happens that even people who were previously non-believers, in a difficult situation, turn to God, as with the power to guide them on the true path. Such people do not know prayers, but if there is a need to turn to the Almighty for help, then there is no need to be shy. There are always those in the church who are ready to help. The most important thing is that the prayer is sincere and comes from the heart.
I would also like to warn those who dream of getting their half back with the help of magic. There are many witches who are ready to charm a woman for money and force her to return. But such conspiracies always have a downside and no one knows how the magic will hit the person asking.
Pros of returning to your previous relationship
If your spouse unexpectedly falls out of love, you need to first find out the reason for this. Only after this can you proceed to active action. To return your wife to the family and restore the relationship, you need to weigh the pros and cons in a calm atmosphere. Perhaps resuming the old relationship will not benefit anyone. In any case, you should remember that the renewed relationship will never be the same. They may be as good as before and even better, but the romance of first love never fully returns. As wise people say, you cannot step into the same river twice .
If a man is having a hard time with his wife's departure, it is undoubtedly worth trying to get his wife back . No one can give one hundred percent guarantee that this will actually work out. In any case, after your other half leaves, you shouldn’t panic and tear your hair out of frustration. First of all, you need to calm down so that you can objectively perceive the current situation. Before getting your wife back after a divorce, you can take the advice of a psychologist or a close friend whom the man completely trusts. It is not advisable to listen to relatives, because they may assess the situation biasedly.
It happens that the husband is calm about his wife’s departure, since everything has been going towards this for a long time. But there are also situations when the departure of a significant other comes as a complete surprise to a man. It is good if a gentleman perceives this with humility and, despite the resentment and annoyance, willingly begins a new life. But for this you need to have a real masculine character, and, alas, not all representatives of the stronger sex have it.
Some men, especially those of a melancholic temperament, have a hard time parting with their beloved and may even become depressed for a long time. In such cases, you should definitely try to return the relationship. You should also definitely try to return your loved one to the family if:
- The wife left for another, leaving her children, who were strongly attached to their mother, in the care of her husband;
- The woman left her family, guided not by reason, but by emotions. This often happens with impulsive ladies of choleric temperament;
- The gentleman understands that the prodigal wife already regrets her thoughtless departure, but at the same time, pride does not allow her to ask for forgiveness and return home. In this case, it is the husband who must take the first step towards reconciliation and family reunification;
- It is urgent to return the wife if her new lover poses a danger to her life and health: he shows open aggression towards the woman and her loved ones, behaves inappropriately, tries to introduce the lady to the teachings of a totalitarian sect, suffers from gambling, alcohol or drug addiction . And, of course, you urgently need to return your wife if she falls into the predatory clutches of Alphonse or a swindler who is after her money (connections, housing). If a man is not able to cope with this situation and reason with his ex-wife on his own, he needs to contact a psychologist or directly to the police.
The most common mistakes in relationships with your ex-spouse
You will not reach a compromise when communicating with your ex-husband if you adhere to the following behavior patterns:
Teachings and rantings
A long and tedious justification of your position is unlikely to achieve your goal, and your ex will simply become bored of listening to you. Speak clearly and clearly, so you can clearly convey your thoughts and desires to your ex-spouse.
Silence
The game of “silence” is effective in marriage, when sooner or later the partners will have to put up. In the event of a final break in relations, refusal to communicate is unacceptable; one must not remain silent, but actively defend one’s point of view.
Inappropriate behavior
Don't let calm communication escalate into shouting, scandals and violent insults. Convey your thoughts to your opponent in an appropriate manner, with self-esteem.
Concessions
If you firmly believe that your opinion is correct, do not give in and defend your point of view. Serious disagreements must be discussed in a calm atmosphere.
Trying to turn a blind eye to the problem
If you pretend that a problem does not exist, it will never be resolved. Only a constructive approach will allow you to achieve the desired compromise.
How to Refresh Intimate Relationships in Marriage
Published: June 06, 2020 11170
Reading time: 4 minutes
From the article you will learn: how to use simple but effective ways to bring passion and tenderness back into a relationship; Is it possible to refresh a marriage on your own, or should you always contact a psychologist?
Over time, sex in a couple becomes mundane and boring. It doesn’t matter whether the partners are in a civil marriage or whether they have an official stamp. You can engage in self-deception, console yourself with children, stability and other excuses. But sooner or later the moment will come (if it has not already arrived) when you sadly realize that you haven’t felt strong feelings for your partner for a long time, and he hasn’t reciprocated for a long time.
If you read our blog, then you know how important sex and orgasm are for women's health. But besides this, intimacy is necessary for overall family well-being. It's called intimacy for a reason. The Academy has many trainings and master classes that help not only refresh relationships in a couple, but take them to a radically different level, making them stronger, more trusting and gentle.
But if you are not yet ready for a deep dive into classes, but want to develop with the help of articles and books, you will like this material.
You won't find revolutionary new or scandalously edgy advice here. Everything has been known for a long time, but for some reason it is not applied. So we decided to once again write a cheat sheet that would remind our readers of the basics.
The magic of touch
Touch is important for every person. Snuggle up to your loved one more often, stroke and hug him. Touching does not necessarily have to carry a sexual message. Touch your man and he will understand how good you feel with him.
Start with a simple rule: hug him in the morning and before bed. Try not to forget about this.
Roni Beth Tower, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and professor at Columbia University, often talks about the power of touch in her work. Did you know, for example, that tactile contact conveys information no worse than speech? Or that touch stimulates the release of oxytocin? Have you heard that stroking reduces stress levels and even helps fight infections?
Important: touch is an exchange of energy. Try to put your love into this type of communication. If you touch a man with force, as if under a stick, he will feel it. And vice versa, when you begin to put your warmth and tenderness into your touch, he will feel it on a deeper level than words.
Cute daily little things
A favorite dish for breakfast, a small surprise gift, a cup of coffee in bed, candles at dinner, a glass of wine in the bath - these little things work incredibly hard. Yes, now your consciousness will go on strike: “What candles, what wine, if we live like neighbors, talking only about children! Yes, he will laugh in my face if I bring coffee to bed. Give me some stronger, more reliable method. They write about these candles in every magazine...”
Yes, they write. But have you tried it? We know for sure it works. Simple little things will bring warmth and tenderness into your relationship, which will gently develop into passion.
Words about love
Surprisingly, the closer a person is, the less often we tell him about our feelings. What about feelings? We rarely talk to him at all. “Put on the kettle”, “Buy bread”, “Pick up the child from kindergarten”, “Turn down the volume”, “Give me some salt” - phrases that often limit communication with a loved one.
We are so busy with work, home, children that we don’t have time for what’s important. Learn to talk to your man. Right today, try calling him “darling.” Watch what changes?
Shared experience
Try to ensure that you and your husband have a shared experience. And we are not talking about children now (apartment, loans, car, dacha, rent, groceries). This shared experience should only be about your relationship and interests. For example, going to the theater, traveling, a master class in clay modeling, reading books in the evenings, cooking a romantic dinner.
Start with something familiar, like going to the movies once a month. When the range of topics for communication increases, interest in each other will appear.
Nice clothes
Yes, they talk about this from all sides, but for some reason we continue to wear uninteresting clothes at home in the old fashioned way: stretched T-shirts, dull sweatpants, bathrobes (forgive me). This image is not attractive at all.
Remember, you don’t need to place all the blame for the lack of sex on your husband alone. You are in an adult relationship and everyone has their share of responsibility. If you want change, start changing yourself. What are you ready to change in yourself today so that tomorrow your spouse will look at you with different eyes? Wearing beautiful clothes at home is a small thing that will definitely turn into a big thing.
Give each other compliments
Compliments are so simple that we don’t attach any importance to it. But this is how it usually happens: big meanings are hidden in small things.
Let your man know that you admire him. You like his voice, hands, eyes. You are crazy about his strong back, sensual lips, confident gait. After all, something about this man caught your attention, something made you look after him many years ago?
If you find it hard to give compliments right now, write them down on paper. There is no need to immediately pass this list on to your partner, do it for yourself. A simple but effective exercise will “shake up” your emotionality.
Find your passion
As we said above, the lack of sex in a relationship is not so much his fault as it is yours. A man follows the feminine energy of desire, he cannot resist it. So start working with your passion, learn to feel your body, find your desire.
Natalia Makeda’s training article “17 days for your body” will help you.
Do you remember what erotic film you watched last time? What book “with strawberries” did you read? If you can't remember, you know what to do next evening.
Once you add a little sensuality and pleasure into your life, your spouse’s interest will increase exponentially.
If you are unable to return passion and sensuality to your relationship, seek support from psychologists . This is actually very important. More important than many things.
With love, Academy
The Academy blog is open to expert authors. If you want to write an article, please read the editorial policy. We welcome your materials!
How to quickly get your wife back after divorce
Despite the fact that almost all men are confident that they are ideal husbands, a woman will find a lot of reasons for dissatisfaction. Therefore, the first thing to do after a beloved woman leaves her husband is to think about the reason. Women are very reasonable and patient creatures, so before making a final decision, they express their complaints to the man. Another question is that it’s rare that a man takes this seriously, considering it “feminine nonsense.”
So why are women leaving? There can be many reasons for divorce, but the main ones are:
- lack of attention from the spouse;
- jealousy that goes beyond the bounds of reason;
- man's cruelty;
- mismatch of sexual temperaments;
- financial difficulties;
- problems with alcohol.
Often men complain that their wife has left and do not understand what she was missing? At first glance everything is fine. The husband works, earns good money, the wife should be happy and understand that the husband wants to relax on the couch with a bottle of beer on the weekend, and not go with her to the cinema, theater or park. But many men forget that when they were courting their future wife, they were completely different.
They were ready to walk for hours in the park and listen to the problems of their chosen one. They gave flowers and bought theater tickets, as well as all sorts of cute trinkets, which the girl was delighted with. But after a marriage stamp appears in his passport, the man believes that the mission to conquer a woman is over and he can relax. And she still wants to be loved and desired.
USEFUL INFORMATION: Types and purpose of title documents for an apartment
Given the crazy work schedule, many men try to relieve stress in this way. They are confident that this cannot be a problem. They come home, the police do not take them, but at the same time the men forget that when they drink, they lose their human appearance.
In many families it is not customary to talk about sex, and many members of the stronger sex are raised in such a way that only they can experience sexual desires, while a woman should be modest. But emancipation is rapidly sweeping across the planet and women have realized that they, too, may be dissatisfied with rare marital relationships. And this dissatisfaction often causes divorce, especially if a woman finds someone who is more attentive in bed.
Unfortunately, money is also a very important parameter of family well-being. Their absence is a serious drawback. Often men, in pursuit of finances, forget about their family. Therefore, you should not try to earn all the money, it is better to find a middle ground. But if it happens that a man loses his job, then it is his duty to convince his wife that this situation is temporary and he will make every effort to change it and restore financial well-being.
Make a decision to change completely
If there is monotony and boredom between a man and a woman, then this indicates that the relationship has reached a dead end. Something needs to be done about this vicious circle. Many married couples decide to divorce not because they do not see the future, but because of a strong desire for change in their lives. A new stage of the relationship is needed.
To do this, a person must change himself. Being completely obsessed with relationships is very harmful. You shouldn't devote your whole life to them. Reconsider your attitude towards your other half. Try to get your partner to have a frank conversation. Sit down and talk.
Find out what doesn’t suit him about you and express your opinion on this matter. Draw conclusions and change for the better! We are the builders of our own destiny!

How to maintain relationships with children
If you have children together, it is impossible to avoid communication with your ex-husband. It is difficult for a child to understand why dad should become a stranger.
In addition, from birth he grew up surrounded by people close to him - grandparents, your relatives and your husband’s relatives. If these connections are suddenly severed, his psyche can be seriously damaged.
- Let the reason for your separation become only your personal matter
and not affect the older generation in any way. For the sake of your children, you simply need to make enough effort to re-establish a decent relationship not only with the father of your children, but also with them. - Never turn your children against your ex
. But he also does not have the right to traumatize them and mention in their presence any negative information concerning you. Try to calmly talk with your ex-husband about this topic. After parents break up, scandals can cause them enormous stress and even awaken hatred towards both father and mother. Explain that in order to avoid trauma to their psyche, he not only can, but must continue to communicate with the child.
Naturally, this article does not discuss the possibility of maintaining friendship with a person who has drunk or with a person suffering from drug addiction. But even such a person should not be spoken ill of in the presence of children. This is a disease, and they should only know about it.
Property relations
One of the main issues that arise during divorce is the division of property. This is not surprising, because each party does not want to be left without everything, and seeks to divide the property in its favor.
It would be best to come to a peace agreement on the principle of “I have a car, you have a dacha.” In this case, the agreement reached is drawn up on paper and certified by a notary so that no questions arise later.
Otherwise, you will have to file a claim in court, and there the division will take place according to a different principle, in equal shares. Think about how convenient it is to manage an apartment that is in shared ownership?
How to behave when dividing property so as not to spoil the relationship?
When dividing property, make a list of everything you have acquired, and calmly discuss with your spouse what belongs to whom and which of you would like to keep what. There is no need to please your neighbors by swearing when dividing even cutlery and crockery.
Behave politely, correctly, and do not try to fraudulently appropriate more jointly acquired property than you are entitled to. Disputed issues can be resolved by going to court if it is not possible to reach a peaceful agreement.
Internet doesn't count
Often communication with exes takes place on the Internet. Often men, in response to claims voiced by a new woman on this matter, ask not to make mountains out of molehills, because “it’s just the Internet.”
There is a very fine line here, and situations can be different, notes Elena Kuznetsova. She is sure that if a man loves his woman, he will not hurt her. Or if he sees that the current woman is jealous, he will try to explain the situation. It will show correspondence, from which it is clear that they communicate with their ex extremely rarely, they simply congratulate each other on the holiday, for example.
Another thing is that the man denies everything, and in the evenings he disappears on the Internet, and his communication with his ex is very close. And even though we are talking not about real, but about virtual relationships, emotionally he is still with the other. He can be with a real woman, for example, for the sake of bed or “saucepans”.
Useful information
Elena Kuznetsova, director of the dating agency “I and You”, family psychologist. Phone 8-920-909-62-35.
“It sounds funny, but in this situation, a real woman finds herself in an even less advantageous situation than a virtual one, with whom the man lives internally and shares his impressions. If a man behaves like this, it means he is bored with his new woman. He does not receive what he receives from the previous chosen one,” states the psychologist.
A new girl needs to think more about her man in order to first displace and then replace her virtual friend, because interesting communication is rare. Just do not use assertive tactics under any circumstances if we are talking about a normal man and not. Rigidity can simply lead to a breakup, because your chosen one has already preferred another woman in terms of communication. And if a woman, less interesting in this regard, sets her own conditions, the man gets angry and says: “Don’t be hysterical, don’t invent something that doesn’t exist” - that is, he is already putting up blockers. If a woman continues to fight against a blocked door, she faces even more aggression.
Divorce certificates have already been received, financial problems have been resolved, and each spouse has begun a new life. But what should the relationship be like after a divorce, if there is a need to raise common children, run a joint business, or there are other reasons for meeting?
Of course, communication between former spouses, especially at first, is unlikely to become too confidential. However, it is possible to maintain decent and civilized relationships even after separation.
Love your other half again
When one of the partners increasingly catches himself thinking that he wants to return the family, then the separation was a mistake. After a divorce, a man cannot express his feelings as strongly as a woman.
Most young couples slam the doors and leave, because they have no idea how else to resolve the conflict that has arisen. Some partners get together only out of habit. They simply cannot cope with loneliness. And this is normal, because memory cannot be turned off instantly.
But these are not attempts to renew feelings. A person needs to return those feelings that he had at the time of his first acquaintance. It is very difficult, but with a strong desire nothing is impossible.
Why did she leave
The decision to leave the family is much more difficult for women than for men.
After all, by nature, a woman is a keeper of the hearth, prone to polygamy.
And if she no longer wants to be with her husband, there must be good reasons for this.
The husband is dangerous to his wife and child
We are talking about men whose behavior threatens the well-being, health and lives of all family members.
This category includes gambling addicts, alcoholics, drug addicts, criminals, domestic sadists, aggressors and people with obvious mental disorders.
As a rule, before marriage and in the first years of living together, a man hides or suppresses his dangerous inclinations.
He can also use the “substitution of concepts” strategy (I’m not a gambler, I’m just a gambling person; I’m not an alcoholic, but I have problems at work and I want to relax). A woman, even knowing about her bad habits, can convince herself for a long time that her loved one will change for the sake of the family.
Over and over again forgiving her husband for beatings, drinking bouts, the eternal lack of money and other terrible things, the woman gives up her illusions. She understands that there will be no positive progress, and an alliance with this man is dangerous (both for herself and for the children).

He's not a man
Girls grow up with the dream of a “real man.”
Strong, strong-willed, reliable, etc. Everyone has their own ideas about the ideal spouse, but the general model of the “correct” husband is dictated by society and is a kind of stereotype.
If, in the course of family life, the husband does not correspond to the image of a “real man,” the woman ceases to consider him as a full-fledged partner.
But often representatives of the fair sex regret the time and energy invested in their spouse, are afraid to radically change their lives and are not sure that the next chosen one will be better.
These thoughts make it difficult to leave the family. As a result, a woman shares a common living space with her husband, while showing disrespect in an open or hidden form.
The relationship represents mutual consumerism (the husband is the breadwinner, the wife is the housewife). Intimate life, heart-to-heart conversations, common interests and joint leisure are reduced to nothing.
Such a family can exist for a long time, while being a fragile union. A woman will leave on her own if a breakup catalyst appears:
- a woman met another man (who commands her respect);
- the joint child grew up;
- the woman has acquired financial independence and no longer needs a spouse;
- family relationships have deteriorated (indifference and a cool attitude have been replaced by aggression and/or physical violence).
How to get out of a codependent relationship? Advice from psychologists will help you!
Spouse - unpromising
If a woman is ambitious (and especially if she projects her ambitions onto her husband), the man’s lack of prospects can cause divorce.
And even warm feelings/children together/stability will not keep a woman in the bosom of the family.
The concept of futility can extend to the financial sphere, career, position in society and other indicators of success.
In general, the departure of a wife is rarely associated with any specific conflict or quarrel. Yes, a squabble or minor misconduct by a spouse can be the “last straw.”
But the decision to divorce takes a long time to form and is based on the first impression of the man in the status of “husband”.
The departure of a wife is more often associated not with the current state of affairs in the family, but with mistakes from the past made by the man during cohabitation.
How to get your family back?
Hello, I'm 33 years old and work in the security industry.
We lived in marriage for 9 years, didn’t drink, didn’t hit, didn’t squander money, everything went into the family, as they say. In general, like everyone else, someone was constantly giving in to someone else in their litter, but more often than not, I. My wife (former) is 28 years old, works in a cafe in a sports institution ,son is 9 years old.
In general, about a year and a half ago, on the pages of the Internet, I met the love of my childhood, communication began. She was going through a second divorce by that time, I felt depressed and tried to support her as best I could. I did not hide the communication, although in some places I allowed myself obvious flirting, of course My wife also found out about this. My wife was 5-6 months pregnant, she reacted sharply to (the rival), but I, not underestimating the seriousness of the situation, began to simply hide our correspondence, which continued for some time. I’ll say right away that the wife was not overly affectionate, a classic “cat” the most that could be heard, and then the Internet “mistress” bombarded him with praises, compliments, and obvious flattery. In general, I had a feeling of being in love. I paid almost no attention to my wife... I flew to the computer at breakneck speed and there was already that sweet-voiced singer ... A terrible thing happened, at the age of 7 months, the child was strangled by the umbilical cord, and I naturally did not show my wife enough attention, and soon after she was discharged from the hospital, I got drunk and generally announced that I was leaving the family. But in the morning it dawned on me!!! I begged for forgiveness, I seemed to have forgiven, but I could feel the weight of resentment. Yes, and I didn’t stop the correspondence, pride did not allow me to suddenly pick up and quit everything, over time everything faded away on its own. At first glance, relations in the family improved. But when I arrived from the session in the spring, my wife was replaced , intolerance to the slightest trifles, nagging, and a month later she completely expressed doubts about her feelings and for the first time the question of divorce arose, she answered negatively to questions about another man, betrayal, and said that she simply didn’t love her anymore. In order to save the family, she gave last chance. Whatever I did, whatever surprises I brought. Dinners by candlelight, Baths with rose petals, wild berries I picked in the forest at night for breakfast. Feelings of guilt did not aggravate my situation. And she deliberately provoked scandals, then If he was late at work, then he wouldn’t pick up the phone for two hours. Naturally, I lost my temper, yelled... But I never laid a finger on him in my entire life. There were conversations until the morning, etc. But as soon as everything started to get better, there was another scandal... In general, in December we broke up , I transferred part of my apartment to my son and moved 4000 km away from them. There was an official divorce. I couldn’t communicate with her for a long time, then communication seemed to resume, there were even conversations about starting all over again, then there were tears, remembering old grievances. And the next day again a cold NO!!! And again I’m rude, I know that it’s impossible, but I’m rude. Once I said that I was preventing her from communicating on Skype with ANOTHER!!! I almost died, everything burned in my chest, but I found it in I had the strength to wish them happiness, and hung up. I try not to call or write.
Tell me, what should I do? I want to start all over again, to be close to my son. But I’m even afraid to return to that city. What if she’s not alone? And I can’t overcome my jealousy? How can I make her fall in love with me again?
Help!!!What should I do?
I play sports, I don’t drink, I don’t panic. But I can’t live without my family... I don’t see any prospects.

How to maintain health and beauty after divorce
It is not necessary to radically change your lifestyle, to go headlong into diets and exercise in the gym until exhaustion. But you can’t let yourself go either. Following a healthy lifestyle will make you more resilient physically and mentally. You need to take care of your hair, keep fit in order to feel confident and in harmony with yourself.
- Eat right. Don't eat mountains of sweets and don't go hungry all day long. Eat balanced meals three times a day. Food should be healthy, fresh, satisfying and rich in vitamins.
- Get enough sleep. Get enough rest, usually 7-8 hours a day. Try to go to bed at the same time before 12 am and get up early in the morning.
- Do it. It is better to visit a gym, because there you can meet people, communicate and work out under the guidance of a trainer. But if this is not possible, do the exercises at home at least several times a week.
Give yourself permission to grieve.
There is no need to try to forget about what happened and hide your feelings. You need time to deal with the heartache and sadness left behind by your divorce. If you cry and feel sad for a while, that's okay. You need to cope with these feelings, get over them in order to start a new life without the burden of past relationships.
Spend more time with people.
Share your experiences with loved ones and friends. You don't have to try to go through a divorce alone. Try to get out of the house more. Go to theatres, cinemas, cafes, festivals. This is an opportunity to take a break from soul-searching and meet new people.
Break off your relationship with your ex-spouse.
If the divorce was difficult and you did not remain friends, it is better to stop communicating. Perhaps after some time you will again be able to call each other on holidays and discuss news, but not now. First you have to pick yourself up and start moving on without your ex-husband.
Look for inspiration.
Walk more in nature, read motivational books, sign up for art classes. Inspiration will help you recharge with positive emotions for future relationships and let go of the unpleasant consequences of divorce.
Despite the fact that you have become a free woman, you do not need to immediately rush headlong into looking for a new partner. If you haven't let go of past feelings yet, don't try to look for comfort on the shoulder of your next lover. Such a new relationship will not be strong and long. You will constantly compare your partner with your ex-husband. This will lead to another immersion in negative emotions, self-recrimination and, of course, will offend the man who happens to be next to you.
When taking a break from your worries and visiting nightclubs and restaurants, do not abuse alcohol and do not go there alone. The desire to feel loved and needed again can lead to negative consequences and jeopardize your safety.
Do not try to start a new relationship as soon as possible and find a replacement for your ex-husband. Your first task is to rest, recover, come into harmony with yourself and let go of past love. Then your new relationship will be strong and happy.
Ask friends for help. If you feel that you are ready to try to build a relationship, create a profile on a dating site, start conversations with the men you like in a cafe or at a party. But the best thing to do is ask your friends to introduce you to someone reliable.
Do not get ready for a serious relationship immediately after a divorce. It is not necessary to immediately look for a new husband. Enjoy simple communication, flirting, romantic dates. Enjoy freedom and new relationships, but don’t cling to your next lover as your last chance to build happiness.
Possible strategies for dealing with your husband and his ex-wife
Let's look at all the possible scenarios and possible tactics for dealing with a spouse and his ex-wife. First of all, you need to calm down as much as possible and learn to experience all the negative emotions associated with this situation. If you throw a tantrum after every phone call from the past or a weekend together, it’s bad. How long do you think your man can stand this?
If there are no children together, and the husband assures that they are just communicating
A much more complicated and unpleasant situation is if your husband and his ex-wife do not have children, but he or she still communicates. They call each other, text, maybe see each other. What to do in this case?
Here you, of course, are more free to choose your behavior and ultimate goal. In fact, you can behave more harshly, explain why you are against such communication and protest against it. Much depends on what kind of person your husband is and...
Change tactics, try to act in different ways, alternate between carrots and sticks. The main thing to remember is that time is on your side, it will gradually put everything in its place. But you shouldn’t open your mouth and catch crows either - keep your finger on the pulse and fight for your man if the need arises.

New life with ex-wife
To get your spouse back after a divorce, you must first attract her attention. This can be done in different ways. The return of the prodigal wife and a new life with her is quite possible. You can use little tricks for this. The question of how to get your ex-wife back after a divorce cannot be answered unequivocally, because each couple has their own secrets of love and mutual understanding . To do this you need:
- Forgive each other all insults. Believers can go to confession together with a priest, non-believers can talk to a psychologist;
- Remember that the new life will be different from the previous one;
- Make sure that the experience gained during separation is only beneficial;
- Never reproach each other for past mistakes;
- Try not to make the same mistakes that caused your wife to leave home;
If there are children in the family, under no circumstances should you involve them in the plan to return your ex-wife, because this can become a great stress for the child’s psyche. If a young child left with his father asks where his mother is, why she does not return, in no case should he answer that the mother “left”, “abandoned”, “disappeared”. You need to calmly explain to the baby that mom must live separately from dad for some time.
The nature of their communication and the reason for separation
First of all, answer yourself the question of why this worries you so much. There may be plenty of reasons for ex-husband and wife to communicate - these are common children, business or other vital interests. When a man actively participates in raising children from a previous family, this speaks more of his strengths than his shortcomings.
Do you suspect that the feelings between them have not cooled down? And this option is quite possible, especially if they have lived together for a long time, from eight years or more. You just can’t influence the existence of these feelings right here and now. You will need more time and a good strategy to become the main woman of his heart.
Why is it important to behave correctly in a situation where your spouse and his ex-wife are communicating? The main and, perhaps, her only advantage is that she knows him better than you, and most likely knows how to manipulate him perfectly. This is why it is so important for you not to make mistakes in behavior on your part.
But you also have an ace up your sleeve - despite the reasons for their breakup, and even who initiated it, they still broke up, and you are nearby, and you are his wife. Ask yourself what ideal scenario you would like to achieve (the option that his first family goes to colonize Mars does not count), and systematically move towards this goal.

Return to previous married life
When starting a new life with your ex-wife, you should keep in mind that the charm and magic of the previous relationship will not return. The new life will be completely different, but no less happy and joyful. The main thing is that both spouses want to start over, without repeating previous mistakes and without “stepping on the same rake.” In order to bring your new relationship with your spouse at least a little closer to the old one that existed before she left, you need to:
- Remember that there is always a place for romance in life. You need to pamper your spouse more often, give her compliments and please her with pleasant little things. Perhaps she initially left precisely because the romance was missing from the marriage;
- Find a common activity that is interesting for both husband and wife. This could be fishing, or relaxing together, as well as walking and traveling with children. When spouses are connected by a common cause, they become closer and forget about their differences;
- Celebrate all holidays, anniversaries, and memorable dates together. For example, you can celebrate the anniversary of your acquaintance, wedding, or first kiss every year;
- Remember pleasant moments from your past life more often, look at old photographs together;
- Revive old traditions that existed in the family before the wife left, and also come up with new interesting rituals. Psychologists say that this brings spouses very close and unites the whole family.
If there are children in the family, they need to explain that mom has returned, and now everything at home will be the same as before. The main thing is not to sort things out and not create scandals in the presence of children. Otherwise, the child may come to the conclusion that without his mother, home was better and calmer .
Psychologist's answer
The reason for such an ordeal for a man who was once inspired by a new lady is depression and a bitter feeling of loneliness. But why?
There comes deep regret about what has been done. True, not right away. In the first months after divorce, men do not experience pronounced depression. And, alas, our eagles are not haunted by obsessive memories of their past family life. Ex-wives are simply shocked that their former husband so easily fluttered out of the warm family nest.
But then, more precisely in the middle of the second year after the divorce, it all begins. Psychologists call this time the “seventeenth month syndrome.” It is after this period that ex-husbands begin to have problems with themselves. Many of them are so confused that they eat everything immensely, washing down what they eat with alcohol. They twitch, fuss, even work ceases to interest them. And the most amazing thing that happens to them is the loss of intimate desires. It’s hard to believe this, because the infidel dreamed of some vivid sensations that were different from everyday intimacy with his wife. These symptoms also have their reasons.
It’s simple: getting to know a new woman more closely brings not only pleasant moments, but also often resentment and disappointment. They are criticized, reproached no less than the wife did, and they are burdened with exorbitant worries about the new family. And their new women can be unfaithful too. Such relationships turn out to be more impulsive than the thorough ones they had with their previous spouse. They are quickly changing their ideas about freedom. It turns out that there is nothing unusual about the new chosen one. Very soon the same everyday intimacy begins that was with my wife. And most often, the dreams of a divorced man are almost never realized.
And there is no holiday. Then the man begins to evaluate his previous family life more and more realistically. And what’s surprising: the brightest episodes of the previous marriage emerge by themselves. What's next?
Psychologists do a lot of research on the “seventeenth month syndrome” and have come to the conclusion that at this time most divorced people think about returning to their family. Another thing is that not all ex-husbands are accepted back. But
or otherwise, two-thirds of men three years after a divorce consider their “ex” to be a more worthy person than their new wife or mistress.
Relationships with relatives of the ex-spouse
Your ex-husband’s relatives are also your child’s relatives, so you shouldn’t completely cut off relations with them.
No matter who initiated the divorce, the existing blood connection will not go away
First, make sure that the stress of the breakup itself has passed, and make decisions with a sober head. If you temporarily don’t want to communicate with your husband’s relatives, explain this to them, choose the right words, and they will understand you.
At the next stage, when emotions have subsided, decide for yourself how close a relationship you want to maintain with your ex-spouse’s family, and act based on your interests. choose and set a distance at which you feel comfortable, and do not allow these boundaries to be violated. At the same time, relationships may change over time, so you need to be prepared in advance for possible changes.
Tips on how to stay in a good relationship
If it is not possible to return your wife home, and she already has a new family, it would be a good idea to enlist the friendly disposition of her new husband and children (common or from her new marriage). When a woman sees that her ex-husband calmly accepts her new loved one, she begins to feel subconscious gratitude towards her ex-husband.
It is quite possible that one fine day a woman will want to return to someone who has always treated her with understanding and accepted her as she is, with all her shortcomings and weaknesses. If a man feels that his wife’s new lover may pose a danger to her (for example, he is a drug addict or a follower of the teachings of a totalitarian religious sect), it makes sense to urgently contact a psychologist with a request: help him get his wife back. In some cases, you need to immediately contact the police (for example, if your ex-wife’s new passion has criminal tendencies or is aggressive towards her children from a previous marriage).
If a husband sees that his wife is absolutely happy in her new marriage, but cannot come to terms with this, there is only one way out: to pull himself together by showing masculine character. When it’s hard for a man to see his ex-wife with his new family every day, he can temporarily change his place of residence and find a new job. In short, it makes sense to ensure that these random encounters occur as rarely as possible. Gradually everything will be forgotten and a new life will begin .
You shouldn’t rush things and look for a new passion immediately after your wife leaves, because under the influence of emotions you can do stupid things in the heat of the moment. It's best to be alone for at least a few months. You should also not communicate with your spouse’s close relatives, because they may have their own opinion about her departure. Such opinions are usually subjective and not always fair.
Bringing your ex-wife home is quite possible. In most cases, love is definitely worth fighting for. However, you should be prepared for the fact that this struggle may last quite a long time. The main thing is to carefully consider all actions and not act at random, under the influence of feelings. In the struggle for love, a cool mind is needed. If your spouse returns, you should try to make sure that she no longer has the desire to leave. To do this, a man must be patient and reasonable, and also need to be able to forgive .
