The are no soulmates or happy ever afters. Sure, there’s this perceived almost spiritual connection during the chase, in the run up to the first shag, and maybe up to the tenth, but after that, there’s just a socially acceptable coupling out of convenience, necessity, or a sense of obligation.

My finances have gone to shit since the #divorce. 9 days to payday and my net worth is £39. My parents and aunt visited at the weekend and ate a bunch of my food. Mum accompanied me to the supermarket. When we got to the till she rummaged around in her purse and I thought she was going to pay, but no, she just had her clubcard at the ready to bag the points in case I didn’t have one.

Pretty #lonely and #depression. Kids to busy for me, still not over the #divorce. My rent a friend therapist is the only person I really talk to. I’m #bipolar and I feel the drop coming.

Listened to The National's "Trouble Will Find Me" LP last night. Realized that was the first time in a VERY long time I wasn't listening to it at 2 AM, drunk, and sobbing because it reminds me of my daughter.

It still reminds me SO much of my daughter and I'm very sad that she still chooses not to communicate with me. All I can do is make sure she knows I'm here when--if--she's ready.

And it was good to be listening to it sober.

The UK child maintenance calculator incentivises parental alienation. My ex wife is entitled to more money from me the fewer nights the kids stay over with me. Guess what… the kids suddenly don’t want to stay over as much 🤬 #divorce
It’s a win-win for the ex. More money AND more time with the kids. The system is fucked.

After leaving her marriage, Lyz Lenz found herself with stretches of time on her own. "Every day I was alone, I had to ask myself, What do I want to eat? The question seemed impossible," she says. For her Substack, she talked to Margaret Eby, who is working on a book about eating alone. "Margaret helped me understand how what we eat when we eat alone can help us become the purest expression of ourselves — in all our dirtbag glory," Lenz says.

Britney Spears Stans Are Hopeful About Her Post-Divorce Future, But a ‘Level of Angst’ Looms #2023_08_22 #rolling_stone #tomas_mier #music #music_features #britney_spears #divorce #free_britney #stan_culture

Hi Fedi! Anyone have any heartwarming #divorce stories? I gotta say it's been an intense but surprisingly warm, intimate and hopeful experience. Divorcing someone you care about is so much nicer than trying to make marriage work. If you have the luxury of being in a position where divorce is a possibility for you go for it! On the other hand if you already made the mistake of getting your intimate relationships officially ratified by the state, does the state need to know the further details of how those intimate relationships change over time? I don't know. I guess i can't give divorce quite the unequivocal, full-throated endorsement i give to shoplifting from big box stores when you can get away with it, but it might be a close second. Divorce someone you love today!

After four years of marriage, Britney Spears is officially divorced and ready to celebrate with a big party!
