WTF DIVORCE IN THE PANDEMIC- WTF Divorce With Rob Roseman

WTF Divorce on Instagram @wtfdivorce for confessions and fun

humour -Divorce is hard. It feels isolating & overwhelming. Let's not do it

alone. Rob has over 57+ million views on Instagram and 10k+ divorced men &

women say it helps them feel less alone.

Rob got divorced right as the Pandemic started. He found great content on social media (divorce support, coaches, etc.) and wanted to find a way to share it with other men. His goal is to help other divorcees with relatable divorce support content from experts as well as to create a community where readers would know they aren’t alone.

Everyone is clueless when it comes to dating after divorce.

The dating world has changed so much, especially with dating apps, and most divorced people haven’t dated in years.

Dating coaches can be such great resources in understanding

the dating world and how to conduct yourself. Rob recommends using them as much as possible.

One thing that can be helpful is to speak to divorced friends of the opposite sex to understand their perspectives on various aspects of the dating world, such as dating app profiles.

One of the biggest challenges here is coordinating the schedules of both sides.

Tools to helping you when you are faced with Divorce

Recognize that it’s OK to have different feelings. It’s normal to feel sad, angry, exhausted, frustrated and confused—and these feelings can be intense. You also may feel anxious about the future.

Give yourself a break. Give yourself permission to feel and to function at a less than optimal level for a period of time.

Don’t go through this alone. Sharing your feelings with friends and family can help you get through this period

Take care of yourself emotionally and physically. Be good to yourself and to your body. Take time out to exercise, eat well and relax.

Avoid power struggles and arguments with your spouse or former spouse. If a discussion begins to turn into a fight, calmly suggest that you both try talking again later and either walk away or hang up the phone.

Take time to explore your interests. Reconnect with things you enjoy doing apart from your spouse. Have you always wanted to take up painting or play on an intramural softball team?

Think positively. Easier said than done, right? Things may not be the same, but finding new activities and friends, and moving forward with reasonable expectations will make this transition easier.

Reassure and listen. Make sure your kids know that your divorce is not their fault. Listen to and ease their concerns, and be compassionate but direct in your responses.

Maintain stability and routines. Try to keep your kids’ daily and weekly routines as familiar and stable as possible.

Offer consistent discipline. Now that your kids may share time with both parents separately, make sure to agree in advance on bedtimes, curfews and other everyday decisions, as well as any punishments.

Let your children know they can rely on you. Make and keep realistic promises. And don’t overly confide in them about your feelings about the divorce.

Don’t involve your children in the conflict. Avoid arguing with or talking negatively about the other parent in front of your kids. Don’t use them as spies or messengers, or make them take sides
