A Hulk Hogan divorce. I can proudly say I was there when Hulk Hogan body slammed Andrea the Giant! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, than I can’t even begin to explain the excitement and anticipation this event held for me and I bet millions of other 12 year olds. But, no matter how mighty, I guess we all have our challenges. If I could sit down with the Hulkster for a drink, this is what I’d suggest.
A few things you might think about doing: Write out for your kids, the complete story of your marriage, how you met, your dreams and hopes, the good and the bad, the sacrifices each of you made, and how -beyond either of your capabilities to control – the marriage just came to an end… Write out in precise detail what is making you angry, and why. Put it in letter form to your ex-wife and really tell her everything that has been, and is bothering you… Let her know that you are a person with wants and needs too… Stand in front of a mirror and “rehearse” an angry confrontation with your ex-wife and/or anyone else involved. Make an appointment with your priest or minister; or find a friend who’ll listen as you explain the frustration, hurt and futility you feel.
Regardless of how you do it, it is an absolute necessity that you let it all out. No matter what divorce it is, a Hulk Hogan divorce or otherwise. This anger and bitterness you feel is like a poison that you must cleanse from your soul. The sooner you get rid of it, the sooner you’ll be able to get on with your life – regain your mental health and position yourself for happiness.
Finally, there’ll come a day when you’ll no longer be bothered by thoughts of your ex-wife. It won’t even bother you when you see her with another man, and that’ll be the day when you’ve finally accepted the fact that you marriage to her is really over. You will have truly let go of her, and will be ready for a new try at real happiness.
Your progress from being rejected by your wife, to acceptance of the fact that you don’t want her if she doesn’t want you, and positioning yourself for a second chance, won’t come easily. In fact, it will take you about two and a half to three years. You must understand the damage you’ve sustained, the healing that’s required, and the time it’s going to take to get well. Too often, men still in the recovery stages of a divorce, jump into a new marriage before they’re ready. And when the “bomb explodes” the second time, the trauma is more painful and the recovery even harder than the first time.
It’s imperative that you “cut yourself off” from you wife as quickly as possible. It’s just as imperative that you immediately set about analyzing what it is you want out of life, what you need to do in order to get what it is you want, and then take the necessary steps towards achieving whatever it is you want.
Where Does a Hulk Hogan Divorce Go From Here?
First, you have to KNOW what it is you want. Then, you have to know what you HAVE TO DO in order to get what it is you want. And finally, you have to START MOVING in the necessary direction to end up with what you want. In other words, if you don’t know what you want, nor how to get it, you’ll be without purpose or direction in life.
This is ”goal-setting,” and unless you set goals for yourself, you’ll just be allowing yourself to be pushed through life by whatever happens next. Use this “terrible time in your life” as a time for introspection and a new start. think about yourself, and start taking the “baby-steps” necessary to making you proud of yourself. Stop mourning the loss of your marriage; pick yourself up, and determine within yourself that you’re on your way to bigger and better things – total happiness and love!
Rebuilding your self-esteem – your ego and how good you feel about yourself – is one of the first steps you must take. A Hulk Hogan divorce might not have a problem in this area but for the rest of us, there are many ways to move in this direction…
You might buy a new suit; paint the inside of your home; take a trip to someplace you’ve always wanted to visit; go to see a special movie or any number of other things. The important thing is that you do something that makes you feel good.
From there, comes the introspection of where you are, and what you’re going to have to do in order to survive. Plan it all out on paper, and then do what you have to do in order to make it come out as you’ve planned.
Most important – don’t be afraid of making mistakes or of “falling down” once or twice along the way. It’s just as if you were eighteen year old again, and just beginning a life on your own. It’s like when a baby learns to walk – he’s going to stumble or fall a couple of times, but by continuing to try, he eventually not only walks but finds he can run as well. So it is in rebuilding your life after a divorce.
It’ll be hard, but the sooner you start dating, the easier it’ll be for you to regain your emotional well being. At first, even though you have to force yourself, you should just go out and associate with other people. See for yourself that other people don’t “immediately recognize you” as a divorced man – a loser, or a failure.
In the course of recovering from a painful divorce, even a Hulk Hogan divorce, it’s not unusual for a man to go through a number of brief sexual affairs. With some, there’s a flurry of sexual activity – followed by periods of celibacy – and maybe a “special steady” for awhile. This kind of activity is really sometimes necessary, and definitely a part of the healing process as some men rebuild their self-esteem.
Hang in there Hulkster! We’re all still rooting for you.
