Guest Article for the Upside of Divorce, by Sara

   November 12, 2012 · NEW HORIZONS - Guest Post:   "The Upside of Divorce" by Sara


Although you may feel like burnt trash after a divorce is finalized there is light at the end of the tunnel. You may feel like you’ve lost your soul, but then again, you could also breathe a sigh of relief. Regardless of the reasons behind your divorce, here are some good things you gain from the experience.



Flirting - Some people are just naturally flirtatious regardless but feel they cannot flirt while they are in a relationship. After the divorce, there is no guilt about shamelessly flirting with your bank teller. Flirting is fun.



My Way – While you were married there were probably behaviors and hobbies that you had to give up in order to make your spouse happy. Now you are single you can take up those hobbies again or find new ones.



Meal Times – No more compromising on menus for the household. There is a good chance that you and your spouse didn’t see eye-to-eye on some types of food. Now, you are able to enjoy whatever foods you like without argument.



Decor – While many couples are in unison when it comes to home decor, many are not. You may compromise your artistic abilities in order to make someone else happy, even though you’re not. Living alone allows you to express yourself without arguments about colors, patterns or styles.



Friends – A common complaint about being a couple is the lack of being around the friends they had prior to a relationship. It’s not often that your spouse will enjoy the company of your friends as much as you do. Now you are divorced you can enjoy your friendships that you felt you had to quell.



Dating Again – There are few experiences in life that can match up to the exhilaration of a new relationship or meeting for the first time. Entering the dating scene provides the opportunity to experience new love all over again.



Responsibility – Outside of a divorce that involved children, being single again allows you to focus on yourself. The only one you need to be responsible for is yourself. This feeling can be very liberating.



In today’s world, divorce is quite common. As long as both parties gave it all they could the experience isn’t actually wasted. Like all mistakes in your life, this could be viewed as one that could help make you aware of your own faults in order to excel at your next relationship.

Knowing others have had similar or same experiences as your own helps a lot in sizing up what is next for you, how to cope, and how to find yourself and other friends, supporters, dating partners and maybe another significant other!

My story was questioned to find what key items were used to help move through divorce and more importantly to a "new" after divorce. Points of interest and positive items in my divorce are explained below.



This week on Chapter 2 – Real Divorce Stories, Real Divorce Support – Brian Daniel shares his surprising divorce story and more
