How can I help my Friend/BF with coping with his divorce?

The guy I have been hanging out with/dating... is going thru the final stages of his divorce. And it is not pretty. They seperate because it had just fizzled out and they were not compatible... but now she has turned ugly and is trying to take everything she can get from him. 10 yr relationship in california. He is a simple man who has worked hard for the past 30 years to create a life for himself... and now is feeling super defeated the last couple weeks. Typically he is a very centered man and positive, but something has gotten a hold of him and he is not himself.


He did say a couple weeks ago that he missed his 'family' as a unit. He has two step daughters 14-16 and a 6 yr old son he sees for a week at a time everyother week. He doesn't want to reconcile but misses being with his family as a whole. He is living with a friend and has been on his own without depending on anyone since he was 18.


I want to give him words of encouragment...


ANY SUGGESTIONS!???How can I help my Friend/BF with coping with his divorce?
Friend all divorces are hard ,after a divorce or seperation you can't live in the past but look forward to the future the best thing therefore to tell him is to look forward not backward the more people tell him this the better as it is true.How can I help my Friend/BF with coping with his divorce?
by telling him divorce is not an option. what god has joined men should not separate them.
Sad to hear about that. Is ur friends wife trying to go away from him? If you sense it to be so, encourage ur friend to go and talk to her whats wrong. Ask ur friend to talk to her as to how they can solve the problem.





Give hime the courage that if his wife leaves him, she is not lucky enough to live with him. Life is not about having a good wife alone. There has be a balance between work, family and pressures.





Make him feel comfortable. Give him the confidence that u and other friends are there around him to support adn take care of him.





all the best.
Give him a bible
let him be. you will only add to his problems if you are his gf. omg. anyways, it is his trials and tribulation. if he needs you he will call on you otherwise he is a big boy, let him deal.
He has you. It's only natural that his soon to be ex has turned up the heat, and that is probably because of her knowledg of you. In turn, he is feeling the squeeze just as it is intended. This will make anyone unnerved and upset. In addition, there are always certain moments, even fleeting ones, day or night that are loving twinges for the soon to be ex. Just give him some time and that you are there if he needs someone to talk with.
He has to deal with getting a divorce in his own way. All you can do is be there for him anyway you can and when he's ready to talk just listen and be understanding of his feelings.
