My wife and I divorced last October. I moved out and we sold our home almost a year ago. I have periodic contact, mainly just her coming to take our dog a few days at a time. We were together 8 years and married for 6 years.

I think I have cried every day for almost a year. The main issue, I think, was not having enough sex with her, although I thought it was more often tha0n she claims it was (maybe once a week). Now, every day I live with regret for not trying harder to make her happy and I just cannot move on. Of course, the idea of her moving on with someone else exacerbates my pain and anxiety. I try to exercise and shift my focus, but I am still just a mess.

Just reaching out if anyone has any tips.

Thanks in advance.

Hello scor: I see this is your first post here on PC. Welcome to Psych Central. One additional forum, here on PC, that may be of interest to you would be the Coping with Emotions forum. Here's a link:

And then here are links to 4 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of healing following divorce (there are more) plus a link to an article that discusses healing from emotional wounds:
