I have been divorced for two years now. I was with the same woman for 12 years married for 10 I have two kids. I have every other weekend, every time I think trying to find someone else. I go crazy. I can't handle it. I have decided I don't think I will get over her.

You were married for a long time, and despite the fact that it didn't work, it's hard to get a person you care about out of your system as important. I am divorced as well, and it's taken both my ex and me about 4-5 years before we let someone in our lives as a lover, etc. I'm not saying it will take that long for you, everybody is different. I hope that you will in time meet someone that will help you move on from an important period in your life, and love your children as well. There are women like this that exist. Good, luck. You WILL get over her, and a lot of it depends on your ability of putting your ex in a "sister" category ,where you both parent your children and care about each other. Then one day you'll meet another woman that could be a lover. Let's pray for sooner rather than later, but yes, it will take as long as it needs to. The more you are willing to date even nice women, the quicker you will find someone.
Take care.

Well I don't know why you got divorced, but I do know from my own personal experience that it can take up to 1/2 of the total time that you were together in order to get over your mate. That's 6 years for you so give yourself sometime. Does she still feel the same way for you? I hope the divorce wasn't done prematurely. If so, maybe you can reconcile. I know of a couple who got married 3 times and divorced 2 times before they finally got it right. And today, they are happy as can be. Get some therapy for yourself. You're not crazy, but you do need someone to help you cope with this. Best of luck to you.

Divorce is a hard process for a person . With the length of time invested you probably miss the ideas of forever more than her. You can not find happiness until you pick yourself p and start again. Life is going to go on, you might as well try to find a new plan. Get out and meet people. Learn who you are. After being with her that long, You were integrated with her. Find you inside apart from you.
You'll be fine!

I know it is hard to get over when you love someone so much. I was with my ex 17 years when we seperated, and I think that I might not ever find someone to love like I loved him. You need to think of yourself though have you talked to her does she have the same feelings its hard to tell when we don't know the whole story. Also just give it time, and you will find someone that you can love again. Why rush it just relax and wait for it to happen and along the way maybe think about why your marraige didn't work in the first place so that your next relationship will be better. I know it is hard, but just stick with your family and friends and it will get easier as time passes. Just remember that you will always have a connection with her because of the children. Maybe she has moved on so maybe its time to let her go. Good Luck.
