Divorce is rough, we get it. Next to moving house and the death of a loved one, it’s the most stressful thing you can do.
But, as always, there is a silver lining. A group of ‘redditors’ (users of the online community, Reddit), recently revealed what their ‘post-divorce goals’ were. Something they had always wanted to do, but couldn’t while they were still married.
So if you’re in the midst of a divorce, been separated for a while, or simply ready for a challenge, here are 11 things you can do:
1. Move to a new city.
"I'm going to start looking for my perfect, warm year-round, laid-back, and slightly exotic locale for retirement. No cars, shoes, or coats required (and preferably going topless is OK too). And then I'm going to move there in a few years, long before retirement, while I'm young enough to fully enjoy it." - @wakeup_andlive.
2. Find a career you're passionate about.
"I finished my education and became a registered dietitian, a career choice he did not find worthy." - @hornpipe.
3. Make your house your own.
"Get a pool table. Put up the dart board I've had for years. Have a real place of my own in my own house that isn't "leftover" after the STBX (soon-to-be ex) decorates everything the way she wants. I don't need a "man cave." I just need a place in my own house where I get to do things I like to do." - @thrown-away_account.
4. Travel.
"See Europe again. I would love to take my kids, but that'll happen in time. I'm talking about going to Europe with (or without) people I want to be with, do things with. That was supposed to be the STBX, but whenever I'd bring up wanting us to travel together, she was almost always against it. So we just didn't travel. Now I get to travel without having to discuss it with her. And I'm fucking excited about that." - @thrown-away_account.
