I got divorced like 5 months ago after a 9 years with this girl who cheated on me, emotionally abused me, etc etc
I’ve been suicidal since the split, getting worse by the day still, and literally nobody ever asked if I was OK, aside from my mom. Even when I begged close friends for support they basically just ghosted me. My ex is surrounded by support, from the same people who I thought were my best friends.
Do I just have shitty people around me or is this just what guys deal with? The attitude towards me is just “get over it”. I’ve lost almost everyone I’m close to because of this and I’m starting to think there might actually be one viable option of getting over it because existing is simply torture. All of 2025 felt like just a bad dream but it’s unfortunately real.
Edit: Yes I have a counselor - a very good one I see weekly.
I dont know who you have around you, maybe they are shitty people. but I can assure you that it’s not “just what guys deal with”. it’s taken time, but I built a support system of kind caring friends who show up. we’re open and honest and vulnerable and emotional with each other. we talk on the phone and go to each other’s houses.
you can build those supports too. it just takes time. ever been to a Recovery meeting?
