Episode 2

Buggin' Out

Episode Two of The Dating After Divorce Survival Guide draws its name from the Tribe Called Quest track and is the conclusion of the story arc that began in Episode One: Can It All Be So Simple. Here the stage is set for how Eric makes his reentry into the jungle of single life.

Find out what happens to the mindset of a man, who wholeheartedly and perhaps naively believes in the power of love, and what he does, when:

*love falls apart,

*what he does to try to keep it together, and

*how that impacts his outlook on the single life that’s awaiting him.

Eric Payne

I got divorced in 2015. Afterward, I wandered around a lost, emotional mess. Men have feelings too! I created The Dating After Divorce Survival Guide to provide a path to emotional well-being that I never received and to tell the truth — men are just as scared as women (maybe more) when it comes to rejection and failing at love. But like me, if you're willing to dig deep, work hard on yourself, and not play the blame game you can turn divorce into a springboard to discover yourself, discover joy, and maybe find love again or maybe for the first time.

I'm Chicago-born, New York City-bred, and currently residing in Atlanta. A marketing and advertising guy most of my adult life, a writer since the second grade, and a storyteller since before even then, I've published two books of poetry, a parenting book, and the groundbreaking fatherhood and marriage blog, MakesMeWannaHoller.com. I have no problem laughing at myself and sharing the lessons my failures have taught me. I believe in superheroes, practice gratitude every chance I get and annoy my kids by being a super-loving father.
