[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very little divorce in our circle

But even when my BFF got divorced, I certainly did not think she was lucky. Her teens went into a tailspin, she lost a lot of money, and she is lonely all the time.

Midlife divorcees just seem sad. The second adolescence they seem to go into, the screwed up kids, the compromised ability to retire (usually doesn’t hit them until years after the divorce), and then the realities of a dating pool where everyone has baggage and blended family hell.

Yeah, this isn’t my experience at all.  No second adolescence, no screwed up kids, no financial issues, no problems with dating.  What did happen is that I was able to stop being fully responsible for another adult human being who should have been fully capable of taking care of himself.  My house is cleaner, I have less chores and I can actually spend some time living for me.  Older kids so maybe that’s a factor but I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy.  Or healthy (not just physically but emotionally as well).  Life is good.[/quote]
