Divorce isn't an end; it's a different beginning.

I Met My Ex-Husband’s New Girlfriend
Three days ago, my marriage officially ended. I received an email from my ex-husband informing me that I was a free woman. It was about time. Although we only just separated in February of 2020, our relationship had been slowly dying for many years, bleeding out from a million tiny cuts inflicted by our words and deeds on a daily basis. We had been to marriage counseling three times in the past eighteen years and had nearly separated twice before. On an annual basis, my ex-husband would announce that he was done and our marriage was over, only to stay and tough it out a little longer.

Trophy Wife
Turns out I sucked at it, and now I'm getting divorced at the age of 27. Which kind of feels embarrassing to say, even though I knew the marriage was doomed from the beginning.. So why am I shocked now?

When They Grow Up!
The marriage would come years later, but it’s a story behind that, first; let me tell you about why I decided to stay. Well, I had thought that I had found the right man. He was so cunning and warm with his words and so charming with the southern ways I fell totally in love with him. He did all the right things. And every day I fell more and more in love with him.

My Husband’s Mistress Can Keep My Husband, but I Want the Anthropologie Dress Back
Some women are predators. I’m not blaming her. Ok, I am blaming her entirely. I blame him entirely too. My husband was, technically, an adult when they met, even though he quickly regressed into a man with the emotional maturity of a teen in love.

Yet still I stayed
You know how when you watch a movie, you put yourself in the shoes of the actor/actress and you tell yourself how differently you would do things if put in their situation? How if you ever found yourself in an abusive relationship, you’d immediately get out before any real damage could be done? I was one of those people. I was wrong, but I was one of those people once.

Frost
Obadiah and Lana dated each other for many years online until one day they met face to face and both of them felt that the love they had for each other was real. For a time, they were inseparable, and they married.

Cheating on My Husband Made Me a Better Mother
While waiting in line at the market to buy groceries with my two children, my younger son reached to hug me. Pulling my cheek toward his lips, he planted a kiss there.

Crash N Burned
It has been about a week since we communicated. I am ridiculous lonely without his company. A face on a screen 5000 miles away was still better than absolutely nothing . Now I have nothing and no one. I was obviously completely naïve thinking I would just simply find someone else after 15 years with my husband. I thought I had found my someone else. It turned into something else.

Yeah! I'm single!
It does not matter how often anyone says, being a confident single woman is a desired goal, it will never become as focused on as finding love. Movies, songs, stories, friends, and ex-husbands will continuously remind me of the importance placed on the goal of finding a partner.

A Peaceful Life with my ex-husband: how did I get here?
It was March 17th, last year, when my husband Ricardo came to our bedroom to tell me these words: “I don’t love you anymore, and I want the divorce.” I remember myself thinking — “Ops! What is he talking? Oh fuck!”. So my brain did it all in two seconds to put some words in my mouth, so I asked him, “Umm, Why?” — painful but a needed question.

8 Lessons Learned From My Divorce Will Help You Have a Split Without Fights!
I say for sure that I wouldn't be so happy today if I hadn't gone through a divorce in 2019 when my ex-husband gave me the precious information -"I don't love you anymore, beauty. Let's divorce." I'm not saying that my divorce was delightful, but after a year and a few months, I feel happier than before. I understand that it doesn't happen in the same way for everyone, and many people take longer to recover from the shock divorce can bring. I know how hard it is to hold that tear or that dry lump in the throat. Divorced people want only a hug and two open ears to hear all the marriage stories they have to tell. Divorced in suffering want only five or six hours o your day for you to hear all the whining of divorce and the additional traumas of being kicked in the ass. Is it too much to ask a friend for some hours, maybe days, talking the same thing over and over?

It was always her
Seeing the person you love the most, left in a blink of an eye to be with someone who he never stopped loving. You’re head is spinning; you start to break down and wonder, where did it go wrong? Looking back at all the wonderful times you both shared together, was it even real? How can you compete with his first love? You try your best to fight for your family but in the end you move on forward.
