Using Humor To Heal During Divorce 


Sometimes when you are going through a tough time, you can use a good laugh. Divorce is one of those times when you can use all of the humor you can get. Divorce is not a funny issue, yet we can still find humorous moments.


We need to keep our spirits lifted and have faith that although we may be going through one of the most difficult times of our lives, life will get better. Using laughter and humor can be therapeutic. When are at your lowest, go out and rent a funny movie or get together with your girlfriends for a girl's night out and share some laughs. Try to look for the humor in your daily life. Kids say the funniest things and pets have a way of making us smile with their antics. Stay in the moment and enjoy these times when they present themselves. It is often too easy to be focused 24/7 on your divorce without letting your mind take a break.


Here are a few funny jokes I found while searching the web that will cheer you up during a divorce (all of the authors are unknown):


1. Definition of a bachelor; a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.


2. A man was driving home one evening and realized that it was his daughter's birthday and he hadn't bought her a present. He drove to the mall and ran to the toy store and he asked the store manager "How much is that new Barbie in the window?" The Manager replied, "Which one? We have 'Barbie goes to the gym' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes to the Ball' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes shopping' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes to the beach' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes to the Nightclub' for $19.95 ....and 'Divorced Barbie' for $375.00". "Why is the Divorced Barbie $375.00, when all the others are $19.95"? Dad asked surprised. "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's car, Ken's House, Ken's boat, Ken's dog, Ken's cat and Ken's furniture."


3. Yeah, my husband and I just split up. I finally faced the fact that we’re incompatible. I'm a Virgo and he's an asshole."


4. For Sale: wedding dress, size 12.Worn once by mistake


5. She was a great housekeeper, too. When we divorced, she kept the house.

I know this isn't about divorce but it's about marriage -
A woman marries a man thinking she can change him--a man marries a woman knowing he can't.

90% of men kiss their wife goodbye when they leave the house. 10% kiss their house goodbye when they leave their wife!! :)

Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener!

We were very happily married for 8 months. Unfortunately we were married for ten years!

I must admit you brought religion in my life.
I never believed in hell until I met you!! :)

What should you do if you see your ex rolling around in pain on the ground?   Shoot him again!!

What is the definition of divorce?
The screwing you get for the screwing you got!!

Too funny!! Thanks for the laughs!! :)

Okay, I gotta add my own little joke, based soley on my experience.
In my life, I ever drank. I was always the DD.
I tease my friends that the first time  drank, I got drunk. The first time I got drunk, I got married. Needless to say, I never drink anymore.

Then there was a man who said, "I never knew what real happiness was until I got married; and then it was too late."

A Woman's Perfect Breakfast
You're sitting at the breakfast table.....
Your son's picture is on the box of Wheaties.
Your daughter is on the cover of Fortune.
Your boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
Your husband is on the back of the milk carton.

Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and give her a house. -- Lewis Grizzard

The woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed way too qualified for the job.

Look Miss," said the foreman, "have you any actual experience in picking lemons?"

"Well, as a matter if fact, yes!" she replied. "I've been divorced three times."

A man complained about having had two unhappy marriages. His first wife divorced him and his second wife wouldn't.

Half of all marriages end in divorce.
That's not as bad as it sounds. The other half ended in death.

Jill went to the bank and applied for a loan. "I want a loan, I'm going to divorce my husband."
"Oh, we don't give loans for divorces" the manager says, "We make loans for appliances, automobiles, businesses, home improvements...."
Jill interrupts and says, "Well, this is certainly a 'Home Improvement."

Ok, long but funny.

A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?"

She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by."

"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"

"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.

"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"

"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents."

He said, "Do you have a real grudge?"

"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one."

"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"

"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes."

"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"

"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce?"

"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He said he can't communicate with me!"

When a woman steals your husband, there is no better revenge than to let her keep him.

Here's a couple more:
Question: Why is divorce so expensive?  Answer: Because it's worth it
My husband and I divorced over religious differences.He thought he was God, and I didn't.
Marriage is a three-ring circus:Engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.\

There are two times when a man doesn't understand a woman:  Before marriage and after marriage.
