VIDEO: Three Great Things About Being Divorced 

this is funny! and true.  thanks for posting it!

"..." - I agree. All is good and food for thought.

...my closet space is abundant because I moved into my new home. My ex has moved out of the apartment she rushed into last year thankful that she is back in the house that I owned prior to our marriage (pre-marital has benefits or silver linings, if you will permit); and, according to her perspective, she would like to make this her own home but is unable or willing to deal with the reality of costs... That is her problem, not mine. I plan on setting up our daughter's trust to have ownership; and, of course, in this way I know that I continue to protect our daughter's future in light of what her parents do from day to day...

...I have friends that are now attempting to hook me up with their idea of whom I should be with in my life. They do mean well and I am thankful for their efforts...

...life is what I make of it and the decisions that are made are focused on what our daughter needs... She has always been the "silver lining" of the marriage; and, although we do spend time apart due to the settlement agreement, the quality of time is higher because of the one-on-one...

bp,

You mean men don't appreciate the extra closet space or not having to deal with a snoring spouse?  ;-)

But seriously, I think we're all just trying to find the silver lining in a painful situation.  And one day when the hurt is gone hopefully it becomes true.   But maybe by that time there is someone else to fill your closet and keep you up at night.

"..." - Where are the features, advantages and benefits of divorce for men... I have noticed an interesting skew towards women on this site... Or, is it that I am now somehow less sensitive and being more of a "man..." Say it ain't so...

I have a very long list of the positive things that a divorce can be for men but... sadly... I have not written anything of interest... or meaning... Wait... I have an idea... I will self-publish my life on Amazon.com... Sell my home and produce a movie about me and what it really is like to deal with a separation and divorce from my perspective...

Hmmm... I better keep my thoughts in order... I think the reality of this movie would be too much money spent on 15 milliseconds of fame... ;-)

Men, if you are in the throes of separation and divorce, you must do the following: honor your children (if any), honor your spouse (difficult but necessary) and honor your self. Walk the walk and not the talk. Keep your head up and move forward. Do not waiver your right to humanity or humility while maintaining your dignity... At the end of the process, you can walk away knowing that you did right by all even if it was not right by God.

These past few months I have been thinking a lot about those same things and I can see it's true.  Can't wait for mine to be over and so I can move on.   :-)
