[OziBlokeTimG]

Me at 63 23 years married.
Never ever expected to finish up single. But it's now been about 3 years. I'm feeling great, and don't care about getting involved with someone else. Retirement pending, good health is now a priority with me. If i do meet someone... i have no expectations at all.
Good luck everyone, stay well.

Great videos!! I'm 60 y/o been divorced for 6 years, after 32 years of marriage. I love living alone, the kids are grown and doing ok, we're all getting along now. Life is good.

[bobmcbobface]

Thanks brother-I’m 33. I was with my wife for 6 years, married for one. She dropped the divorce bomb three weeks ago completely out of the blue. This is tough but I know I’ll get through this.

[ryanporter]

After my divorce, I've been having the most peace I've ever had in my entire life! Lots of introspect, learning to respect myself on a much deeper level and knowing exactly what I'm willing and not willing to put up with is invaluable.

[John-ig]

I've watched all your videos on divorcing now: the depth of thought and wisdom is a class above anything out there. I'm saying that as a divorcing man who has watched literally hundreds of videos in an effort to find some path through, so it's incredible after all that to find another level of advice, or to be surprised. The video about understanding marriage before you marry, yep I think every young person should see that one, absolute truth spoken. It's too soon to show my teenage sons, but at the right time in a few years, I'll be sitting them down in front of it because it says it better than I ever could. Your videos deserve to get a wider following and in time I'm sure that will accumulate. Thank you.

[lauralittle]

I'm a 54 year old very single person ( woman) for the first time in my life and i am very much enjoying 🎉your videos! I love how they start and how you film them and how you talk even. .Your videos are excellent and i came home tonight to watch some more .💪😊❤

34 Divorced Man with 2yr daughter - went through a nasty divorce completely blindsided its now over and as a recrmyly single man this channel has been a sanctuary. Keep up the videos!

[davegayaldo]

thank you 62 here, 32 years married. 1.5 years divorced and recovering, all within 2 year span, knee replacement, hernia, surgery, sobriety, and rehab, and then divorce…. Your spot on about quality time used the dating scams learning to be at peace and enjoying your newfound, but yet abundant freedom.. I haven’t been on any dates and I’m not sure that I want to somehow wise enough to realize I didn’t want to fall into a trap trying to replace void or something else.

[plasmaarmelund]

You are so right that getting to know yourself after divorce is very difficult and terrifying for a lot of men. Especially because we tie up our entire identity into the role as a husband, provider, and protector. When the marriage falls apart, it's an ego-death. And finding out who we really are can be daunting AF. A lot of men struggle really hard in this phase of their lives. But therein also lies a massive opportunity for growth and becoming an even better person than you were before. It's all about applying the right mindset and listening to videos such as this one is a solid step along the way.

[brianten-inzw]

At 60 getting ready to go through this myself.

[prophetxx]

Sir, you are a jewel in this space, your life experience, knowledge and articulate way, will make the channel grow, young guys need TO get the years of experience you Sir have. I realize more and more that everything in Life is about learning the nature of the things before we aquire of go for them

[Mdykstra]

I agree with everything you say! Forgiving yourself is the first step. Trusting in your decisions and goals. . Give yourself the same attention and dedication that you've given to others all through the years. Never let anybody into your frame that doesn't enhance your life.

[Paul-ofut]

My partner cheated and left me we was together 10yrs. I loved her very much but I'm struggling to deal with single life at 53 nobody to talk to nobody to hug nobody to eat with. I've never been single since i was 18 i wish i was strong like you because I'm really struggling. Great video thanks

[suefleming]

Great advice.
I'm a woman and I have found so many women to be some of the bossiest people I've ever met.
I also found them to be the least knowledgeable that I've ever met.
Love your videos and keep enjoying life !!!

[Sko]

John your content helps a lot of men. Keep it up. Men in a separation, divorce situation need this content. When divorce first happens and your wife is done with you, you feel that it is only you going through this. Turns out this happens to thousands and thousands of men.

[NKdP]

I love what you have to say. It's genuinely refreshing to hear this from a male perspective. I love what you say about peace of mind. I feel it. I am still in the process of divorcing my husband who left me after 29 years of marriage, 2 1/2 years ago. I'm 53. I am in the process of completely reinventing myself and am determined to keep healing myself and finding myself before ever going back out there again, even though I really miss companionship and closeness at times. If I keep doing the work, it may happen but I have no expectations. Thank you. I'm glad I came across your channel.

[orvelorten]

Hey John, excellent advice. 3 months out of an 8 year marriage and doing everything you touched on in this video. Been doing the work on myself and honestly have no interest in dating until I'm at least a year out. I've done a lot of work but realize i still have plenty more to do.

[fruitloops]

Thank you for your videos John. They've been invaluable for me in my journey. It's taken me a long time to get to the point where I'm not angry anymore. Also, I realize my mistakes in the marriage. What I've realized is that I've been alone for years and just didn't realize it or was in denial about it. Thanks again.

[JeepWrangler]

First that is a great park that you have to go out and recharge. After 38 years of marriage, I am the one that pulled the trigger. I was afraid of the financial loss, but after being physically and verbally abused, I filed for divorce. I realized that living with waking up each morning dreading what the day will bring is worse than being broke on my 60's. About a year after my divorce, I retired. I probably violated a rule by inviting a big life change after another one.

About 4 months after my divorce, I was pushed into a date by a female friend, with a nice looking woman who was close in my age. I thought the date well but evidently she was not attracted to me. The worst thing was that I learned that she shared everything about our date and conversation with that friend of mine. Why do women always have to discuss everything with their friends? I do feel at peace right now. I enjoy my dogs and my hobbies. I enjoy being alone and through Meet-Up I joined some hiking and kayaking groups and I have people to go out and do things with. I am not sure that I want to do the whole going out on a date thing. not sure if that is normal.

[gregq]

At 48 I could barely function after my divorce much less date so I waited about 3 years which happened to be the best decision ever. Yeah it sucked getting used to being completely alone but you push through and after a while, you start to see the positives. It also provided time to focus on my kid and save a some $$$ doing gig work on the side when I didn't have her.
