Hello Paul,

I am wondering the same thing that Anita posted about…what you mean when you say your family are monsters, are not bad people?

I also will echo what nextsteps said…that women do not just want rich guys.  If anything, women at your age will have a better sense of who they are and what they are looking for.  Yes, some women only want wealth and everything that goes with it.  I would also ask you to consider the difference between a woman only interested in money, and a woman who is interested in financial stability.  Big difference.

It is also true that your divorce is relatively new, and without a doubt, it takes time to recover from that, even though it was more or less a mutual decision.  I will also note that your post is more about missing the connection you had with someone, versus missing your ex-wife.  That reads to me like you are in a good place, even though you may not feel that way at the moment.

Nextsteps is also accurate in saying that not being with someone now does not spell the end of any chance of you being in a relationship again and having children, if that is what you are hoping for.

You are doing all the right things in taking care of yourself.  I hope you continue to work hard, go to the gym, meet up with friends…all this will lead to healing and putting you on a new path.
