[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It feels like Jen has become more immature since her divorce?  Like she’s regressed a decade or maybe two?

She wasn’t this ridiculous 5 or 6 years ago was she?  [/quote]

Agreed. She was not. It’s a free fall.  It makes me wonder, how would I fall apart if I got divorced?  I almost did, for cheating no less. But, I feel like my identity is not wrapped up in being a wife. I think despite her protestations, this was her identity. She is still in free fall and has not hit the ground yet. [/quote]

Well, I nearly fell apart after my divorce.  “Wife” would have never made it to any social media descriptors of me.  It was about loosing a relationship I relied on and all the changes that rippled from that.  It didn’t sound she was terribly invested in Brandon  right before the divorce.  Not defending her, just saying you can’t compare your imaginary reaction to Jen’s real one.[/quote]

I agree. I’m divorcing a serial cheater. It’s traumatic. I’m doing pretty damn good a year after discovering things, but not “proclaim my healing and introduce a new lover on social media” good. But I’m in a support group with women who are really struggling years later. And healing isn’t linear, so maybe I’ll get worse before I get better. It’s really hard to predict.[/quote]
