Besides all the good points already made, there's the number one thing for you to do: Be there for your kids and give them all the love you can possibly give them. This includes hanging out with them as much as possible and never talking bad about the other parent. Of course be honest about the state of affairs, but do never forget...for the kids there'll always be Mommy and Daddy *as a unit*. Do not rob them of that security blanket because of your own personal issues with your Ex...the kids have nothing, NOTHING to do with that! If you can, try to maintain a dignified, workable and polite relationship with your Ex. This will make many things a lot easier. Put your future and changed relationship on the grounds, that while everything between you may now be at opposites, you both love your kids and continue to act in their best interests. If nothing else, they need to know that you do because you (both) are the world to them. One issue, however, almost never gets addressed and talked about in these

I could have used this guide a couple of years ago, when I went through my first really painful break-up. My particular trespasses are being the "pathetic, sobbing wretch" and spending too much time on Facebook. Well, you live, you learn. Ha!

Some excellent advice, and even more in the comments section (particularly Grant and ellis - few things demonstrate one's manliness as effectively as speaking well of an ex!). The only other piece of advice I can offer from past experience: remember that if she found you worthy to date for __ period of time, then someone else will too. You might be afraid of being alone for the rest of your life, but the sooner you realize how worthy you are, the sooner you'll see just how easy it will be to date again. And don't be gun-shy, man up and ask other women out once you're ready for it! Each rejection just brings you one step closer to your next special someone. Wonderful article.

Another tip that really works is to watch an inspirational film clip everyday or whenever you need a lift. Something that confirms your status as a dominant male..a man... the top of the food chain and chain of command. Try millitary or simply Lions in the wild. Good advice.

I got dumped after five solid happy years then found some traditional male responses truly helpful - no talking about it - lots of drinking, live rock and comedy clubs, screwing around - also throwing myself into my job, computers, ocean sports, etc. Guys are luckier in this regard: more interests and intellectual activities to lean on.
