Divorce isn't an end; it's a different beginning.
(A)lonely
I stand in my kitchen at 1:57 AM eating my third Rice Krispie Treat by way of the range light. If it wasn't so sad, it could be romantic... The warm light hitting the furniture in the dead of night. The quiet stillness of the room. The two cats slinking around and purring gently.

Finally Letting Go
Divorce. A word that no one thinks of when picturing how life will turn out, but that's how mine is. I married the person I believed was my soul mate three years ago, even though we both proved otherwise for the entire seven years we were together. I don't know what kept us together despite us both knowing we weren't meant to be.

My Husband Cheated On Me And I Don't Love Him Anymore (Not Attracted To Husband After He Cheated)
I often get emails from women who have recently learned about their husband's cheating. I know that the days and weeks following this might feel as though you are in a fog and sometimes you're not even sure how you will get out of bed or put one foot in front of the other. I recently received an email from a wife who felt this way. In her email, she kept mentioning that she just felt "lost," and "alone" and "stuck." She wondered what was wrong with her and why she had seen some of her friends cope much better while she was struggling so profoundly.

Words of Inspiration: Thinking About Getting Divorced?
Join our Divorce by Rose Community App ANONYMOUSLY: Sometimes we just need some words of inspiration. We just need to feel inspired, uplifted and energized. We need to feel good, we need to feel that there is a solution, we need to feel that there is an answer- that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You will get this when you’re surrounded by supportive people. You will get this when you’re surrounded by people who feel like you, who act like you, who are looking for solutions, who are looking to upgrade, who are looking to up level, who are looking for realistic ways to move forward with life. This is what we do in Divorce by Rose. That is essentially why I created this Divorce Community APP. It’s to have this like-minded support coming from parents from around the world who are feeling the same way as you, behaving the same way as you, and feeling the same ways where sometimes they are lost and confused- they just need some direction or they just need to talk to someone in an ANONYMOUS environment. So, I asked some people this week to give me a sentence or two about how you feel this week that Divorce by Rose helped you? And I just wanted to share some of the comments with you. Remember that everyone is remaining anonymous on this app so all their names are unusual- no one is really using their real names.

Letting Go of Relationships We've Outgrown
One of the most challenging parts of my healing journey has been the need to let go of relationships that weren’t actively a part of my growth. Well, I say let go, but actually, sometimes I was let go of. Whoever does the leaving doesn’t really matter; both ways can be just as difficult to deal with.

3 Life Lessons I Learned From Losing Intimacy With Other Humans
It's been four hundred and twenty-five days since I've had sex. Ouch. Surprisingly, that crushing fact has little to do with COVID-19 and everything to do with my recent divorce. But I am so tired of talking about my divorce. I look back on the last time I made love to my ex-husband with contentedness; I made love to him because that's what I did, I loved him. I am grateful for the excruciating life lessons from ending that nineteen-year experience, and I'm moving onward and upward. I've had four hundred and twenty-five days to ponder extensively about my life, its connections, and where to go from here. Where do I end up searching for answers when my heart is restless? The internet, of course. Colton Poore wrote a wizardly article on intimacy that compelled me to change my dismal approach to this piece completely:

6 Reasons I Believe The Divorce Rate Is So High~
Here are six reasons why the divorce rate is so high: 1. Independence Is Crippling Marriages: People end up in divorce court because they wait too long to find solutions to the problems in their marriage. We are a nation of highly independent people and in my opinion that independence we covet stands in the way of us being able to humble ourselves and ask for help from each other—and the experts.
