In this last episode with Stephane, we polish up the importance of needing a plan. He recalled how his lawyer said to him that on paper he was bankrupt and how that had him make a plan. He created a daily budget, which helped him get back on his feet and allowed him to know where he was going. 

He also speaks about dating and how that was not a focus for him till he was ready. After being married for 20 years he shares how he didn’t know what to do. How you have to be ready before adding people to the equation.  According to Stephane, divorce makes you grow in a lot of different ways, which makes you who you are. He states that divorce is an opportunity for a second chance, to start over.

This interview with Stephane was another glance into what a man observes and experiences inside a divorce. The more interviews that become available on Divorce The First Six Months, the more it is realized that whether you are a man or a woman, we all crave and feel the same emotions. Some more than others, but ultimately we wish to be loved and understand. 

We make the best of our situations, and for most, we rise out of the situations as better people. Stephane is a perfect example of that. It took getting divorced to begin doing the things he wanted to do in life. Which begs the question. Why don’t we do it while we are with our partners. Why does it take us losing something to remember or commit to what we want for ourselves?
