As agonizing as the divorce process can be, most of us come out the other side with relatively little permanent damage. In fact, after we’ve had time to gain some perspective, many of us feel that we’re actually stronger than we were before. I’m (mostly) in that camp. In fact, I’ve been trying to decide whether [...] Right after my divorce, it was pretty hard for me to “keep my chin” up, as they say. Hold my head up high? That took months, and in some ways, years. This weekend, I went to my hometown with my parents and one of my brothers to attend a fundraiser for the wrestling club that my [...] When I went through my divorce nearly six years ago, I wasn’t on Facebook yet. Twitter? Hadn’t even heard of it. Unfortunately, I didn’t know anyone in “real life” who I could talk to about divorce, at least not in the “been there, done that” sense.

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 [...] |
