What is the BEST part of divorce to you.

[arabian]

eating what I want
not having to be a live-in maid and cook
reading in bed
my mess is MY mess

[organizer]

Not having to being a "mother" to a 50 year old.
Not having to clean up someone else's mess.
Having space that is mine.

Finding a boyfriend!

No body telling me i am wrong every single day.

Best part was saving my military pension, then it was not having my ex spending all my money on parties, adultery, gambling, alcohol and so on.

Not worrying about what mood he was coming home in every day
Not worrying about keeping the kids quiet so they don't bother him
Not feeling like a doormatt
Being happier then I have in years
Finding someone who loves me and my boys and treats them like they're his own

Humm, sleeping in my own bed instead of the couch.

- I don't have to live with the constant disappointment of hoping he'd help and him not doing anything or doing the exact opposite of what would be most helpful.

- I don't have to live every day with his selfishness. Now at the end of a visit I just send him home.

- The house is much more peaceful. My teenager is much more relaxed without his father's negativity constantly.

- I no longer have to endure his teasing that were really snide remarks about what he thought about the things that were important to me. He still makes them, but as I'm no longer "responsible" to him, I don't have to listen to them.

- I'm thankful we're still friends...believe it or not. We were lucky in this. We still have many similar interests. We shared and tried to build a life based on (mostly his) these interests and I still enjoy them, and it's nice to have a civil conversation about those things and still like being in each other's company. Our relationship was unconventional from the get-go...looks like it's continuing that way.

- I don't have to worry about his financial wildcards. He was always the one I couldn't predict in the budget and always the one that would set my on-track budget off the track. Now he can wallow in the money management he thought I should have been doing all these years. :-P

- Life is so much more peaceful and quiet and settled on many levels. It's a great relief.

- I no longer have to live with a man who never loved me or respected me.

I'm sure I can come up with a few more.
