Let’s get to the bottom of why your ex wife moved on so quickly. You probably find yourself wondering, did your ex wife ever really love you? Did she even care about your marriage? If so, why did she get a new man so fast?!?
This video answers the question, why did she move on so fast? And I think in the process of answering that question we can ease the pain of believing she never loved you.
Understanding why she moved on can help you find a sense of peace or comfort, which is a welcome relief from the confusion and frustration your are likely feeling now. The first explanation for why your ex wife moved on so quickly is that she’s a few months (or even years) ahead of you in the grieving process. Most divorces are filed by women, and most women have already gone through all the stages of grief by the time they file.
The second reason why your ex moved on so fast is that she is using a new relationship to distract herself from emotional pain.

    Men: a woman moves on fast because she never loved you the way you loved her. A woman 'loves' a man for making her feel loved. ie by what you can Do & Provide for her. Once she finds better or is bored then You nolonger make her feel loved about herself. This makes her very angry with you as she had more expectations in her percieved future that you have not lived up to. This is why you can be discarded. Once you understand women you will realise there is nothing to love about them.

    So based on your paradigm, there is no accountability for the grenading of a family. It’s not her fault, it’s not your fault. It’s nobody’s fault. Just families destroyed. Kids separated from parents. Kids exposed to other new partners. No biggie. Just as easy as moving on.

As long as she lives, there if she wants to see herself as "good" she has to see you as evil. It actually tells us absolutely nothing at all about how she felt about you or the marriage...." Sounds like a description of a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). In which case it tells us that she has never loved you.....that she is, in fact, incapable of love. I do agree that it makes no difference. A divorce is final. One should not go back to a divorced spouse.....work on healing and move on.

    You can never be loved by a person focused on their wants, needs etc... She was with you because you filled some needs she had. The moment she no longer has those needs, your relationship is over. That is NOT love, that is mutualism. Love is when both of you become each other's beloved.That means in sickness and in health, for better or worse etc... This attitude of mutualism she'll take into next relationship and it will fail. You should have pity on next boyfriend. Notice that the majority of second marriages fail.

    She did exactly this and hid the fact that I took all decisions, but I would always ask her opinion and most of the time if not all I would take her choice. To top It all of I longed for her to help me take decisions so I wouldn't take all of the responsibility on my shoulders. I would ask her often to help with decisions and respect her choices. In the end she told me It was all meant to please me and she was afraid I would leave... This truly broke me.

    You're not alone in this point of confusion. I see a lot of men struggle with this for many years. I don't know the details of your marriage at all, but in many, many cases the leaving spouse DID try to involve the other, usually for many years. The problem is that in a lot of relationships men and women don't communicate very well, and when one partner is trying to express the distress they feel the other isn't able to hear or understand what they're saying or asking for.

    @@RachaelSloanRelationshipCoach well, to be able to change things, first I have to be made aware that a divorce is seriously on the cards. I have never considered a divorce as being an option, unless both have seriously tried their best to fix their marriage. This was clearly not the case with us, which is totally irresponsible if children are involved. Of course children can equally suffer when the parents are still married and are fighting in their presence, but this can be avoided and a divorce almost certainly will harm them psychologically.

    I was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer in June 2022. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments for several months. In November 2022 went thru major surgery to remove the cancer; very high risk of surgery. In January 2023 the doctors seen spots on my liver. Conducted a biopsy. On February 12, 2023 my “wife” left me. On February 20, I am diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer & stage 3 lung cancer. I found out she has been cheating on me since October 2022. But I’m realizing she had contact with this low life for over a year. Now I’m going through very intense strong chemotherapy treatments. Everyday I’m battling for my life, every millisecond of everyday. I was a burden to her, a liability to her. She is cheating on me with a older low life piece of crap. She is 36 and he is 50+ years old with 5-6 kids and is living in a house that he is renting from his ex-wife. Icing on the cake. This low life piece of crap knows everything about my daughter. That is disgusting and sickening. Now she is filing for divorce and stripping away my daughter away from me. Completely out of my daughter life. And to replace me with this garage as her father/dad………. I’m dealing with that right now.

    I guess resonated with me but I still feel that guilt. We went to couples therapy (never that long and never dived into the real issues) and I went to individual therapy for myself but never really jumped into the issues that were hindering me from connecting in a meaningful way with my STBX. She had told me a number of times what was troubling her over the years but I never delved into it due to my own shame, guilt, and trauma about previous life events. She did try and stayed in an unfulfilled relationship longer than she probably should have. I do take the blame. We never openly and honestly talked about the central issues. Even though I knew the issues I never fully committed to fixing it. Just temporary Band-Aids on a cut that was growing more infected by the day. Then after a little bit it was back to the same-old, same-old. She had enough. Maybe she didn't bring these up because she didn't want me to feel bad. Mostly I think she was done with bringing it up. You make great videos and I appreciate you taking the time to upload them. Most videos for men going through divorce are by men and they have an undercurrent of toxicity in them. Your take is different. Thanks again.

You can tell me the whole story and what you'd like to achieve, and if it sounds like something I could help with I'll tell you how coaching works and we can each decide if we'd like to work together. If you're not looking for more involved support, I certainly understand.

    Thanks Rachel. These videos are helpful. One thing I have problems with, and please pushback if you think I'm wrong or anyone else...... When it comes to blaming, look we both made plenty of mistakes. I might have made a lot more than her even, not sure. For years I've come up with all kinds of initiatives to improve the relationship though. Let's read this book and do the things it suggests, take a course, go to counseling together, do stuff for each other to make the other person feel loved whether we feel like it now or not, etc. Everything was met with a great deal of resistance and most things she flat out rejected completely. Telling someone you want to get divorced is obviously the ultimate rejection of any commitment to the relationship but for years already there seem to be all these moments of lack of commitment. I'm not angry at the hurtful things she has said or done, I have said and done hurtful things myself. I'm angry at her for not being fully committed in learning and changing what needs to be learned and changed to have flipped this around. If she she would have been as passionate about making us work as she is with her hobby, I think we would have done great by now.

    You're welcome. I'm glad the videos are helpful. I'm sorry to hear that your wife was so lackluster in working on the relationship. You may be right, that if she had been as willing to work as you were, things may have been different. In fact, you probably are. When two people commit to working together and both are willing to be humble and grow, there are few problems they can't overcome. But she wasn't willing or able to work on it, or on herself. I don't think you're wrong to be angry at her. In fact, I think anger is often an important part of the process of grieving and healing. I would encourage you to tune into the anger and learn from it- what is it telling you about yourself? It is easy to stay on the surface of the anger and be mad at HER. But that's not really what anger is about. Anger is the internal voice that says, "I deserve better. I deserve more. I'm worth fighting for." She didn't want to work on it... and you deserve a partner who does. Someone who is as willing to reflect, learn and grow as you are. It is rare for couples to stay together when one definitely wants children and the other doesn't, or when one feels the need to travel the world while the other never wants to leave their home town... and yet often couples will stay together for decades even though one is 100% committed to healing, learning and growing and the other one is really just interested in gardening. I'm really sorry that you're going through this. I hope you can embrace your anger in a healthy way as you unpack the marriage and start to move forward. You deserve love and commitment at the same level you give it. She is not the person who can give you that. After sharing so much time together, that may be difficult to accept... that's what anger is for :) It can help you find your way to acceptance.

Literally everyday before the day came things were calm. The day came and she started being very nasty and started blaming me for everything. No papers were given to me on that day either. She has been very hurtful in her words tho. I want to stay but she’s been giving me mixed signals I feel.

    I apologize for such a slow reply. Somehow I missed your comment. This may no longer be relevant, but it sounds like she is projecting her emotions on to you. There is a real finality in signing papers, and it might be triggering her need to justify her decision in order for her to overcome any lingering doubts or self-blame. That can lead to her lashing out and blaming. Definitely confusing, and definitely not fair, but perhaps, on some level, understandable. How are you doing now?

    This fit so well and made so much sense. She was at least half a year ahead of me, going by what she said (reason #1). Also I know her mother/her parents kinda fucked her up, along the lines of "don't make waves", "as long as you don't address a conflict there IS no conflict" etc. Her mother also has terrible behavior when it comes to conflicts. She'll insult you/demean you to your face, but when you "fight" back SHE'll get angry. She won't actually SAY she's angry, she'll just stamp around angrily etc. She's already in another relationship, at least since early in the separation, hell, maybe before, I'll never know. So she's doped up with oxytocin etc. (reason #2) and the relationship automatically validates her (reason #3). I don't know to what degree she blames me (reason #4), at least some I assume. I blame her as well, not exclusively though. I acknowledge I made mistakes and at least some of the stuff she claimed (not paying enough attention, I got too "lazy", too comfortable, took too much for granted etc.) is definitely true. I acknowledge my part in our problems, but at the very least she never ever clearly addressed her unhappiness etc., just "hints" and "signals". So I may have given her reason to be unhappy (she also had her faults, but I accepted them as part of the deal) but she never really fought for the relationship, never gave me/us a chance to fight for it. I expected honesty from her, to call me on my shit if necessary. I definitely needed a kick in the ass, but that only came with the "it's over, it's too late". Would have loved at least one chance before that. Now I'm working on myself, taking time for myself, no dating, just processing the divorce, the pain, and trying to come out of this mess better than was before it.

    All of these explanations sound feasible, but you can't ignore that as an adult you have to develop some sort of communication skills and emotional intelligence along the way to explain how you feel to your partner. The rationalization just doesn't jive saying that she should just be understood or that she felt the guilt or remorse for leaving. It seems as if someone is relieving themselves of a whole relationship, there were things making them unhappy I don't think they'll be too miserable or shaken up by blowing up the relationship. Moving on for them means a new start and a new start is usually means to celebrate.

    Hi Kevin, thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. I wish you were right when you say that as an adult you have to develop some sort of communication skills and emotional intelligence.... I agree that the world would be a MUCH nicer place if people did, but the reality is that they don't have to. And so often they don't. Many, many people (including many of our politicians) are walking around acting out impulsively and emotionally like 5 year old children. Communication skills and emotional intelligence are often not prioritized or valued in our society. And I do think you're right - for some people moving on is cause for celebration. For others it is deeply painful, even when they've chosen it. I did an interview awhile back with a coach who works with divorced women, and she really opened my eyes when she described how broken her clients felt, even though they were the ones who filed. She also talked about how talented many women become at pretending everything is great when they are dying inside, because they feel immense pressure to do everything on their own, be everything as a 'modern woman'. I imagine the exact inner experience varies wildly, just as it does for the men I work with. I'm sorry to hear that your experience has been so painful. I hope you're finding some good support to help you move forward and heal. Thank you for being her and sharing a little bit of your experience!

    Yea...no...i call bullshit again, while I agree that shes probably further along in the separation process...to make the assumption that she already went through exactly what we are going through now is nonsense. Because when someone is gone like really gone, the loss is real. In all aspects. She was able to to come up with ideas and experiments to maybe fix something and try it out because we were still there. Weather it worked or not...age "want through all that grief already" with us sleeping next to them available for them. Theh in essence got to have their cake and eat it too. Got to say all their goodbyes within themselves while still being intimate. We the dumped get NONE of that. Not even close. We get cruelty, resentment and annoyance by our Exes. It's a completely different animal. So no it is not the same and she dod not experience the same thing already. She took the easy way out with lots of thought and trying..whatever she could come up with. She could watch you tube videos and take advise and try those things actively. We get none of that. To try and make the claim she went through the same thi g already is rubbish and should be called out for the rubbish it is. This is why it's easier for the dumper. This is why it appears they have moved on faster. Because they were able to do whatever they wanted and now still get to do whatever they want while blaming you and being cruel at the same time. That fact should be discussed a hell of a lot more. The dumper should have spoken up and gotten the dumper involved. It takes 200% to trh and fix something or mend a relationship or marriage. Not just 1 half of that. How fucking selfish.

    Your comment made me sigh this morning, Tim. I agree. Life is painful. Sometimes I find myself wondering why it has to be that way... last night I took a restorative yoga class. Usually I prefer the more active stuff, but I really needed to settle my nervous system yesterday. It helped. And in one of the long, still, supported poses the thought occured to me that there is literally no light without darkness, and vice versa. If there was only light, we wouldn't even know it was light. It is only the contrast that defines them, and we couldn't comprehend one without the other. I think perhaps that's also true with emotion. Could we know joy without knowing pain? Would there be any meaning to pleasure if loss didn't exist? I'm not totally sure, to be honest... but I think that if we ever really did arrive in heaven or hell we might only experience it as joyful or painful for as long as we retained our memories of what the opposite experience was like. This is a bit of a ramble. Not sure if it helps or not! But I hear you - and I agree. It's hard. It hurts. I also think its worth it. Have you seen this from Katie Morton?

It is hard to tell just from comments... but it sounds like maybe your ex still occupies a lot of your thoughts? Is that the case or is it just that we happened to be talking about her? In my experience it can feel pretty good when you see your ex struggling, especially when she treated you so poorly... but it's also been my experience that holding on to that feeling can be limiting in the long run, because it keeps you focused on her instead of on yourself and your life. That might not be the case at all for you. Like I said, it's hard to tell from such a brief conversation.
