A breakup can be brutal, no doubt about it. But it’s not the same as a divorce, and here’s why: In a breakup, you (hopefully) don’t need to hire a lawyer or appear in court. While a breakup could involve a restraining order or a financial dispute, generally speaking, there aren’t any legal implications to splitting [...] A while back, I asked readers to weigh in on the following question: In what ways has your divorce affected your current behavior when it comes to dating and relationships? The responses that you submitted varied greatly, from feeling as though divorce has taught you what to avoid, to having lingering issues with trust. Your [...] I enjoyed a recent Huffington Post Divorce post called “Dating After Divorce: Rebounds and Supernovas” by comedian and writer Juliet Jeske. We all know what a “rebound” relationship is, but what about a “supernova?” Jeske writes, “I call the first major relationship after leaving my husband the supernova—a collection of stars exploding all at once [...] I remember learning about the Trojan Horse in high school Humanities class while watching an old-school, melodramatic film on the Trojan War. As the story goes, the clever Greeks made it into the city of Troy undetected by hiding in a giant wooden horse. Hmm. When the time was right, they emerged from their hiding [...] At last weekend’s Minnesota Blogger Conference, I stood in line for coffee next to a man who helped organize the event. We exchanged names and blog titles, and when he heard Divorced Before 30, his ears perked up. “You know, it’s interesting,” he said. “Women start all kinds of really specific blogs to share their [...] When I got engaged, I wrestled with whether to change my name. My fiancé (now ex-husband) felt bad that I even questioned taking his last name, but at age 28, it felt weird to give up something so personal, so me. In the end, I decided to have two last names—basically, hyphenated, but without the [...] Today’s guest post is another from Gina, who recently wrote about some of the less than stellar things friends did and said while she was going through her divorce. ***** Today my ex and I talked on the phone, which we frequently do. In fact, people are surprised at how often we talk. But that’s the thing. [...] Today’s guest post is from Gina. ***** After 6.99 years of marriage, my husband and I finally came to the conclusion that something wasn’t working. It was an interesting conversation—held during a 10-hour drive returning from what was a very nice vacation: no fighting, no blow-ups, just relaxation and good friends. Perhaps the lesson is not to [...] In today’s guest post, Karen writes about some of the lows she experienced while going through her divorce. ***** I stood in the window of my third floor apartment, gazing into the parking lot below. Overwhelmed and exhausted, I’d been in my new place for only a week and still had boxes everywhere. I should have been [...] Today’s guest post is from Natalie. Like jobo, she writes about how divorce made her stronger. ***** I got divorced after three months of marriage. The situation was full of red flags before I got into it, and it got even worse after the “I do’s.” It was so brief that I really thought I could move [...] |
