Do you know why your unhappy wife secretly notices happily divorced guys? I’m a happily divorced man. The divorce came first – then the happy.
Pain first – then growth. It just doesn’t happen for us the other way around.
This is true for any guy who attains happily divorced man (HDM) status.
First come the pain, confusion, anger, powerlessness…did I say pain… of feeling like a failure. It feels like your guts are in a vice and someone keeps tightening it. You lose your appetite and then weight. Then you lose sleep and ability to focus.

Your brain is like mush and you can’t concentrate or keep a sane thought in your head.
This is exactly the time when you first realize, “Dang, I need to talk about this.”
Then you usually wait another 6 months or so. You think it may be impossible to be truly happy again.
And you would be wrong.
You Don’t Need to Wait for the Pain, But You Probably Will
If you are a man in a struggling, frustrating or painful relationship you can actually choose to start growing now and not wait for the divorce!
You can trust me that a much bigger pain is on it’s way and can avoid it by acting now. Yeah, I didn’t do that but I wish I did. But nobody told me I could – or should.

HDM’s like me know stuff. It’s really cool stuff. Stuff you will need to know sooner or later.
What stuff is that?
Stuff like why your wife secretly notices other men who are happily divorced. You may have already observed that and it kills you.
Yeah, that sucks doesn’t it? That happened to me too. I didn’t understand.
I had no idea why she could not see in me what she thought she saw in others.
I do now.
I was acting like an unhappily married man instead of an HDM.
It turns out that these guys drive women wild…in every sense. Why wouldn’t you decide to be this guy while you’re still married?
Sounds like a really stupid question, I know. But it’s not. It’s your only way through this no matter what happens with your stinking marriage. And it’s probably the only thing that has a chance of improving it.
And if you’re thinking this, yes… I spend a lot of time talking to wives and ex-wives like yours.

Is This A Pipe Dream?
Okay. You’re probably thinking, “Sounds nice. Unattainable – but nice.”You’re probably thinking that achieving results like those is possible for only a very small percentage of men.
And you’d be correct. You probably have met only one or two of these guys in your life, if that many. And if you’re like me, you quietly envied them. You figured they had a chromosome you didn’t have, therefore, they were “outliers” – freaks.
Nope. Not true. There are millions of these men around the world.
And the ONLY thing that separates you from them is this.
They have committed to the process of developing the competence and then, the CONFIDENCE, to change the way they think, speak and act.
The only difference between you and them is that they made a decision. They wanted more and, dammit, they would figure out how to have more – BE more. They didn’t wish for things to be different – they wished for themselves to be better.
Men who live their life in the skin of an HDM are just like you. The only difference is in their tolerance for mediocrity.
Their decision to change was made with the uncertainty about what they didn’t yet know. They knew the new skills they had to learn would require practice – then more practice.
