Why is divorce so fucking difficult?

Been separated about a month. Met up yesterday to start talking about some of the practicalities. It’ll be an amicable divorce.

But today is so goddamn difficult. We’re not in love anymore and there what’s been zero chemistry for years. Divorce is the right thing. But we are still so close and know one another so well, we’re such good friends and I just miss him.

There’s so much bullshit to deal with in terms of legal stuff and selling a house and I just can’t face it. It’ll all be fine in the end with the practicalities but I want to cry for a month. I almost wish it was more heated so there’s be more steam to blow off.

Aaargh!

If you're amicable and there's no kids involved in can be quite straightforward. My partner and his ex got divorced for the bare minimum cost and fuss using online guides on how to do it and dealing with the courts direct. They agreed on a very equal split of stuff and it was fine. Mine was far more messy and drawn out but it doesn't have to be. Good luck.

I agree, it’s so easy to get married and such hard work to get divorced. Although we were not the least bit amicable, best thing I ever did!
