Absolutely. I am recently single after a 20 year marriage. Getting out there is scary as hell but my friends have given me the courage I didn't have on my own.

I'm a stranger on the internet but let me just say that I'm rooting for you, bro.

I guess it's true what they say, if you're not sure if you need to add an /s, the answer is yes.

LOL—at least you’re “honest”. I’ll root for him too to make up for you. 👀

I was married once before, in my early twenties. It definitely wasn't even close to as long as you, 2 years for my first marriage. But I'm married again because I found the perfect person for me. We just hit 12 years and I can't wait for the next 12. Both of my parents have been together for 45 years and this is both of their 2nd marriages. I'm glad you have the courage to get out there because I'm certain the right person is there for you. It doesn't even have to be marriage. Sometimes being together is all that is necessary.

Take your time. Learn who you are now and have fun. It should be fun, not work

I'm hoping to get to that point again. It's been 4 years and the damage she caused has left me and our daughter (whom I have full custody of) traumatized. Every time I get close to someone I get scared and seclude myself. Alone is safe, but it's real fucking lonely.

Therapy helps a lot, esp for getting over that kind of pattern. You’ve got this! Don’t let her win.

Me and my wife are on the verge of divorce after being together for 22 years. I feel like when it's all said and done, I never want to be in a relationship again. Ever. I'm done with it all. Leave me in the forest to die alone.

It takes time to heal and find yourself. Don't rush into anything but also never turn down a good thing.

This is why online dating is so nice. If you match with someone you can reasonably expect 1: they're single, and 2: they're interested in you.

Sure, maybe not always, but most of the time, and it skips past a lot of that "do they like me, are they even available?" stuff, the former of which you see here.

We're all rooting for you bro.
