This is the way I put it "Leaves fall off the trees every year, but they always come back" meaning... your wife will either come back with time, or someone else, (new) will come along, your never too old to love, or want someone to love you. Your not the only one after 22 years who gets a divorce, just don't look, go out, and have fun, someone else will be around, God always has a plan for you, so all I have to say is it's hard, but the leaves will come back, they always do, they have to.

This is a tough one. My folks left each other after 25 years. My dad had a hard time coming to terms with his life alone. He eventually settled into a good, healthy routine of surrounding himself with supportive and fun friends and activities. On the other hand, my mom jumped immediately into another marriage. She ended up regretting making this hasty decision on the fear of being alone. Yes, there is life after divorce, even when you've been married so long. What are your interests? Can you hook up with others that are also into the same things? You will probably end up being happier than you were in a shaky marital situation. I really wish you the best.

Yes, it was most of a 31 yr marriage for my ex husband to decide to give more of his time to his women than our family before it came to a divorce, and now things seem to be a hell of a lot less stressful. So, it depends on how you make up your mind to handle your second chance at having a life. Do things that you missed out on or didn't do because of the marriage that you wanted over time. Things will work out in your favor if you let it and not dwell on the past. You can bet that your ex is having a great time at doing just that.

of course there is life, only right NOW you are hurt and not yourself and just can't see it. it will hurt for awhile, as u see 22 years of your life just walk out the door. but when u start accepting it and seeing it for what it is, u will realize u did not want to be with this person anyway, just make peace with yourself and with what happened, and wait before u start a new life with someone else, wait till u know u have healed somewhat, and than move on, don't keep thinking in the past, leave it in the past. as your destiny doesn't lie in your past.a whole new life will open up after u bury the past and let go of it.

Yeah, there is life. At least you are now free from suffering loving a person who doesn't love you anymore. Love change with time and time will also healed your pain. Soon you will forget it. Enjoy your life, join some group and get to know more friends.

There is if you want there to be. I am in the same situation. I have found that I can live life again, but not sure if I could ever love again, since my heart still belongs to him, even though I know how bad he is for me. Sad but true
