I parted ways with my ex three years ago, and I’m here to give you some good news: There are silver linings to divorce.
My divorce has been the hardest thing I’ve been through, hands down. It doesn’t go away either. Sure, the aftertaste eases up a little. You start having good days peppered in with the chaos. And before long, those days start outweighing the hard ones.
But ending a marriage isn’t cut and dry, even if you wanted it to be over. It doesn’t just pack its shit and leave. It hangs on with reminders. Like when you drop off your kids with your ex, run to the grocery store, and see a couple picking out apples with a toddler in their cart smiling at their banana.
Before you know it, the voice in your head whispers, “Remember those years when you thought you’d be married forever? Why did you let that go?”But I’m a woman who parted ways with my ex-husband three years ago , and I’m here to give you some good news: There are silver linings to divorce. Several of them.Your children go from seeing their parents partnered to going it alone. They watch you navigate your way through hard situations and decisions.
I was afraid of having sex with a different man after being with the same one for almost two decades. Believe me when I say this won’t last. And it’s glorious.You get to leave your coat on the floor, or have your closet color coordinated. You want leopard print pillows everywhere? It’s your call. There are no debates over paint colors or light fixtures anymore. It’s your place, and you get to do it your way. That includes being in charge of the thermostat.
If you are treading your way through divorce and it feels like you may never get to a comfortable place again, print this list off. Then, put it on your fridge or mirror for anytime you need a reminder that you will not only get through this, but your life has so much potential to be even better than it was before.
