Tips on regaining your confidence after divorce

I came across this category and was interested enough to put forward my top tips for building confidence. I have never been married, therefore never been divorced though I have been through a number of break ups, so do have lots of empathy with those that have gone through this. Over the last few years, I have trained as a Life Coach and now work in this field. I am hugely into self development and since 2006 have digested loads of books on building self confidence, attended a number of self development courses, have been coached myself and have worked with over 100 clients. I have loads of ideas on ...  Read the complete review

I guess you could write a review on this subject advising those who have been divorced on how to regain any lost confidence but having never been married I do not have any experience of that however I do know what it is like to be the child of divorcing parents and not only having your whole world turned upside down but also to lose all onfidence in both yourself and those adults around you on whome you thought you could rely. Fortunately for me those feelings did not persist for long as my father found a wonderful woman who I now see as my mother rather than the person who walked out on us when I was younger. For me regaining my confidence was not ...  Read the complete review

I was clicking around dooyoo, as you do, and came across this section. Interested I had a look at who had posted reviews / information, and not that surpisingly found that only women had anything to say on this subject. Now that means one of two things. 1) Only women loose their confidence after divorce. Or 2) Men are too scared to discuss such issues openly. I unfortunately lean towards the latter, and feel quite sad for the men out there suffering in silence. I'm now going through my second divorce, and was even less prepared the second time round than I was the first. To be fair the first time I went through divorce I was a lot younger (25), and bounced ...  Read the complete review

Readers may or may not be aware of my situation. For those who don't, here's a brief (!) explanation. A few years ago, after over 20 years together, my husband, Nigel, decided that he was in love with his secretary Lyn. I was devastated. My world fell apart. I had married for life. I intended working at my marriage and not giving up - like all the rest. Trouble was, Nigel had made up his mind. Despite almost a year of counselling both personal and with Relate, we split up. I told him I would always love him and that I would not divorce him - he would have to wait to be free. For months after he had gone I was on a roller-coaster of ...  Read the complete review

I will begin this opinion by saying that my experiences of divorce are not anywhere near as bad as some of the ones that I have read here, mainly because there were no children involved. That said, I did find divorce traumatic and I decided to write my opinion on the subject to try and offer some help to others in the same situation. I’ve been married twice and divorced twice so I’m probably as qualified as any to give my opinion on this subject. I got married when I was 23 years old to a man who was a sports fanatic. He was a keen Walsall FC supporter and he also ran both the local football league and two football teams, one in the Saturday ...  Read the complete review
