Sadly , in the very least 5 years , no matter the status of the break up , maybe financially longer , it depends on how you adjust , if young children are involved , for an average person in reality' its probably a decade , just go day by day by day , and be extremely careful with any new suitors.

You see stuff on TV with mega wealthy celebrates and lawyers , and you think " they did it " , yeah maybe , but look at the actual cost , the worst part is a settlement if lawyers are involved , keep them out of it , completely , just signoff , its tough.

Its also worse , country dependent , here in Thailand they just leave , you cannot do that in Australia , and with young children , you have the element and complete rip off of child support , especially if the other partner in financially illiterate.

It was an amicable divorce, but still my economics took a substantial hit. I was never hurting for money, but I had to reduce my spending until I built things back up. It took about 3 years to get back to where I was at the time of the divorce.

Took me about 2 years. During that time I concentrated on my career and worked really long hours. I was managing an office of 8 women from mid 20s to mid 30s and we hit every bonus and did very well financially and they gave me dating advice every day for a year. That helped. I also saw a therapist once a month for a year and a half. 2 years after the divorce I started a business and bought a house free and clear. About 2.5 years after the divorce I felt like dating again and was going out 2-3 times a week. Getting cheated on and getting a divorce was the best thing that ever happened because my life is 1000% times better now.

It took me a couple of years. I left with just the clothes on my back
