Is there anything I can do to feel better about getting divorced?

Answer 1

You can look forward and not backward. The past is done and cannot be changed. The future is yours to live as you choose. Begin a new chapter in your life and don't look back. Accept that you may have done some things you are not proud of, but also vow to never do them again.

This is a good time to look at your life and change the things you want to change. Take a class, join an interest group, join a community service organization, start a new hobby. The world is yours to explore. You can become a better person through all of this.

Answer 2

Be active and stick to doing things that make you happy.

Do things to feel good about yourself. Direct your attention to pampering yourself and reaping the benefits of your glowing beauty.

Don't long for comfort, don't ache for a date... Spoil yourself with all the silly things you like doing that others only wish they could do.

Turn on the stereo when you clean, dance, hop around, be active and goof off a lot. There's no strings to hold you down so stomp out a wacky dance and laugh at yourself in the process.

If you need help understanding what I'm talking about... Watch kids play, see the humor in things they do... And laugh.

Answer 3

It will hurt for awhile if you aren't the one that wanted the divorce.
You'll feel sad when you see a married couple together smiling and looking happy, you think to yourself I don't have that anymore. But one night you'll wake up and ask yourself why am I doing this to myself. Then start going out with your friends dancing, partying and it want be long you think man this is the life I was really meant for , have a good time , meet someone else and before long you'll forget you were ever tied down.

Answer 4

Remember you can always do better than someone who wasn't willing to make your marriage work. Focus on enjoying your alone time and pursuing things you didn't have a chance to while you were married. Throw off the baggage so you can move on. But, do some self analyzing so that in a future relationship you will not make the same mistakes.

Answer 5

Been there, done that and yes. You start really taking care of yourself and also party like a wild woman.
You are getting free and rid of excess baggage, obviously this marriage did not work out. but this does not mean that your life is over, understand? The right one will come along and you will be happier, go through this with courage, you are not alone, get professional help if you need too.
Good luck, It will get better, I promise.

Answer 6

You are going through grief. It is a process. It takes some time. Only you know how much time. Hang in there. The pain fades after a while. You will survive. Sorry it hurts but there is no magic pill for this.

Answer 7

No - only time. Marriage is like 2 pieces of paper with wet glue on both. You stick them together, let them dry and them rip them apart. A piece of the other person will always be with you...only time can ease the pain you feel.

Answer 8

Well there is no instant cure,time will heal all wounds.you have just been used to being with that person and you need to think about something besides your relationship with him.make new friends ,go to new places,that you did not go with this person,and just don't lose yourself in the process of healing.good luck,i've been there and things will get better.I promise

Answer 9

Yes! Start dating. Do things you haven't had an opportunity to do while you were married because you were busy cleaning the house and cooking dinners. Have fun with your friends.

Good luck.

Answer 10

Jump off a cliff! How would that make you feel? Your so specific about your problems (narrow minded). It doesn't surprise me you are getting a divorce. How about drugs? Try being a hooker! Better yet sympathetic. Get off your soapbox!
