Why You’ve Become Invisible to Women After Divorce (And How to Change That)
Mate, she’s not avoiding you — you’re avoiding yourself.
“8 months single, and I might as well be invisible!” his message read.
The little typing bubbles popped up… then disappeared. Then popped up again.

“I don’t get it. What the fuck am I doing wrong!?”

If you’ve ever been through a divorce, you’ve probably felt this same way. The frustration. The desperation.
You need to feel wanted again, but whether you realize it or not, the energy you’re putting out is working against you.
