We're definitely having a party at the end but the ex-husband will not be invited, obviously. She figures if she got a party for marrying a "great" guy then she should definitely party after managing to get rid of what turned out to be a really awful guy instead!Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-26993410505485338802012-06-15T04:30:14.264-05:002012-06-15T04:30:14.264-05:00It's too soon at the moment but as soon as I f...It's too soon at the moment but as soon as I felt able, I'd do it. To mark a part of your life that was so formative, and when there are children involved (as there are), it feels better to do something to show that it was important, that they are still important. Far better than a slinking away as though it no longer mattered. It will always matter. And I'd rather celebrate the time I spent with my husband than spend my time griping about who did what when or who never emptied the dishwasher.<br /> <br />And divorce ain't going to go away, we need to change how society reacts to it. No one on the outside of a marriage has any idea what's going on behind the supposedly 'united' front.Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740360046558563158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-55097220047869843632012-06-14T21:19:47.792-05:002012-06-14T21:19:47.792-05:00oh my god, that story about the old couple!

After my (rather brutal) divorce was finalized, I decided if the marriage started with cake, it should end with cake. I gathered together a group of friends, we bought a cake, drank champagne and toasted the end of my relationship. Divorces can be amiable, but they can also be a messy, heart breaking business. In my case, involving my ex-husband would have only made my process of moving forward more difficult. However, taking a moment with friends to put my past life to bed and look forward to the future was definitely worth it. And it was a great excuse to eat cake ;)Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-91797898261959386792012-06-14T14:31:39.463-05:002012-06-14T14:31:39.463-05:00Personally I think it would be a very upsetting th...Personally I think it would be a very upsetting thing to do, break ups are hard enough without having a ceremony to celebrate itCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803310423261777004noreply@blogger.com
