Going through a divorce is never easy, even when both parties are on the same page. However, the process can be even more difficult when your spouse was responsible for initiating the divorce. This can leave you reeling and may even cause feelings of intense loneliness and abandonment. MyDomaine.com offers the following tips to help you cope with an unwanted divorce.
If you have a shared social circle with your ex, you might find some of them keeping their distance after the ink has dried on your divorce decree. While this is distressing, it’s not all that uncommon. That’s why it’s so important to seek out new friendships to fill in the gaps. Join groups, take up hobbies, or contact friends you’ve fallen out of touch with. A robust social circle is integral to helping you heal, while also taking your mind off what you’ve been through.
While you’ll naturally want to enter into a relationship at some point, don’t rush it. Derive some joy out of being single, even if it’s just having access to both sides of the bed for a change. You must heal before you pursue a new relationship, or you run the risk of experiencing the same problems you did previously. Taking your time will also help you avoid the dreaded rebound relationship, which almost always ends badly.
Most importantly, take the time to get reacquainted with yourself. It’s easy to lose yourself during the course of a relationship, especially if your marriage lasted a long time. Now is the perfect time to get in touch with the person you were before. Now more than ever, it’s important to take care of yourself and to do the things that nurture you both in body and spirit.
