It’s sad that it didn’t work out but I feel happy for the people who wanted to regain their freedom and did. I don’t think there is anything sad about celebrating that. It just depends on how the person wants to process it.

My friend was mad that I wasn't in a celebratory mood and thought a party was weird. I think a lot of people just like parties and want you to move on to find someone else so they don't have a friend that is single or worry about you hitting on the married men. That was my experience. There is some benefit to it ans sometimes I wish I had one even though I wasn't up for it. Many divorces are very contentious and you feel very alone and just tired and sad. It helps to have friends around you and something to look forward to in your life after divorce. I'm kind of mixed feelings on it.

I see two types of divorces.
- people who married someone who became truly awful
- two reasonably good people who couldn't make it work and brought out the worst in each other.

For the second type, especially if you have kids, what is there to celebrate?

My one the second and it makes me deeply sad to think of what could have been. Mostly because I see him every week and we are both so much better than we were when we were together. Maybe like we were when we were younger and lighter ? That said, I get the parties. I am happy when other people are happy. They should do what they want.

I'm still living in this marriage. Can't wait to get out, but I won't celebrate. That just seems tasteless.

I think it is great. I’m so sick of people asking like divorces the worst thing that could ever happen to you and a bad marriage is awful and ending a bad marriage is a success rather than staying in one

I do like the idea of normalizing and de-stigmatizing D. I think a lot of my pain came from thinking I had failed.

And the legal aspects. I wish I would have had an agreement in place. We were / are smart and yet so foolish!

If you leave a job that ended up being a bad fit for you, you’d be happy to move on right?

I’d celebrate.

I do think divorce lawyers are gross. They should not be celebrated, at all.

This is interesting..can someone explain why some women think that divorced women may hit on their husbands? Men don't think a divorced guy out there is going to hit on their wife. But some women have that weird insecurity and it's bizarre.

Women will blame the married men not the divorcee .

From my experience it's insecurity about themselves and the behavior of their husbands. They don't want to normalize it because they don't want it to happen to them.
