Default What is the BEST part of divorce to you.

Okay - divorce sucks. We all know that. Especially for the kids. Personally I loved what I heard on dr phil the other day( did I actually say that???lol ) That it is better for kids to be from a broken home then to live in one.

But with that disclaimer what did you find the BEST thing about getting separated/divorced? I want to hear all the positive things about it. Even if they sound really stupid and petty. Most of them are -- but the pleasures are small and enjoyable.

Deciding what I eat - I can have frosted flakes for dinner if I want with no funny looks - except the cat and those looks are more hungry looks ;-)

okay a total cliche but no toilet seat up- You would think after all this time I would be used to it being up. but nope. You men must love less nagging about it ;-)

The closet all to myself - it's so spacious.

Decorating to my taste and only my taste.

All the support friends and family have shown me - I would have never felt so loved had I not needed it. *sniff sniff*

Along that line- realizing how strong I could be when needed.

No toothpaste goop in the sink- yuck- or at least if there is it is MINE

I don't keep tempting foods for me in the house anymore - and I don't have to anymore for him

A clean place- or if i am lazy- only my mess.

Less grocery shopping to do. Less to carry into my place.

Not having to consult someone else about what I want to buy or do. I'm a night owl and an insomniac at times- so it is awesome to be up and about without worrying about waking your partner. I can vacuum at 3 am if i want

I seem to have tons of time to myself to do what I want now.( maybe it goes with being an insomniac ) I am getting into hobbies I have forgotten about and looking into new and exciting things. ( have to do with the time and with that my routine has changed and I am now looking for new things to do- mostly me not my former partner.)


So tell me all the good things about being Divorced, Remarried or Single! I want to revel in my singlehood:-)
