Did you think you'd be married forever, and now you find yourself looking for a way to survive a divorce you didn't see coming? Many women are blindsided when their man comes out of nowhere and announces that he wants to go his own way.
Here are a few tips that will help you survive this divorce and go on to be happy with your newfound single status and future relationships.
Didn't See it Coming When faced with a divorce, many women claim they never saw it coming.
Everything was going great when he came out of the blue and said he was tired of it all.
Yet, most women fail to realize that they'd had warning signs for months.
Take a moment to analyze what went wrong.
Did you husband tell you what was grating his nerves? Did he try to talk to you, but you always got on the defensive? Do you now realize that he's been telling you for months how unhappy he is, but you just ignored him? This can be a huge learning experience for you, so don't overlook it.
Good Friends I've known women who, after a split, chose to surround themselves with women who tended to have negative and fatalistic attitudes.
These women badmouth men in general and can even get on board to attack an ex.
This may feel good for a little while, but in the long run you're better off leaning towards the friends who have a positive outlook on life and love.
Hang out with the girl who has that innate ability to make you laugh.
She'll be able to make you see that life without your husband isn't the end of the world.
Stay Busy It may be tempting to seclude yourself and shut out the world.
You want to lock up in your bedroom and never seen anyone again.
A few days of isolation can be what you need in order to get your emotions in order, but you don't want to draw this out for weeks on end.
Get out, have fun, meet up with friends and reconnect with the hobbies and activities you may have set aside as you worked on your marriage.
For the most part, we all have a small part of our life that we set aside when we marry.
This is the time to find yourself and discover what really makes you happy.
Dating Again No one can really tell you when you should go out with another man.
The amount of pain you feel could be enough to make a date with a man something very uncomfortable and awkward.
Give yourself plenty of time and don't feel you have to be with a man in order to be happy.
Spend time with yourself before jumping into a relationship.
Once you truly feel ready, you'll be better equipped to explore the possibility of a new romance and you'll realize you've survived a divorce.
