Is this literally a “they should probably be grateful but at least don’t be such a bitch about it, it’s obviously a compliment” argument?

“Fred Armisen in a wig and a dress is a deeply shitty joke”

my brother is getting a divorce, not his choice. But I 100% know, as does he, and all his friends, that it is for the best. He is still so angry and so hurt. But we all know, including him, that he is going to be great.

I went through something very very similar. Cross country move, fucking a friend, totally screwing me over. It was the worst.

Someone told me when I was getting divorced, “it’s going to feel like the end of the world until one day it doesn’t.” It was true. That was almost two years ago and I’ve never been happier. You will be ok, I promise. Take care of yourself, feel all your feelings, get a great therapist.

I’m so sorry. My husband left me for someone else and we had a very bitter, protracted divorce that didn’t get better afterwards when he had it annulled so he could have a church wedding to her. I won’t lie, it’s painful and it can ruin your self esteem for a while. I cried a lot for a long time, got mad when I…

Been there. I now realize it was for the best, but it took a long time to get to this point. Just remember that you’ll get through it and things will get better. It might take a while though, so don’t make any rash decisions in the meantime. Try to focus on the things in your life that you like and which make you…

This happened to me after 23 years. I found out what really helped me was my determination to follow “living well is the best revenge.” The financial part is hard, but you just get creative. Cling to your sense of humor, even if it’s black humor. It’s been 5 years for me now and I’m so much happier than I was at the…

One other thing that’s helping is keeping busy. I’ve been using meetup to find some fun low-key socializing.

I’m so sorry. I’m gay, and didn’t come out until I got in my first LTR, we lived together for a few years and as my first big, almost crazy, love and when we grow up I was devastated. It was also a few mo this after my mom had passed away a my family had fallen apart a I as rudderless. I thought I as never going to…

Better out than in, I guess. It’s all gone down this week, and keep flipping between being fine and bursting into tears. I’ve been told it’ll come in waves.

I’m so, so, sorry. The only thing I have to offer is this virtual floofy belleh.

My daughter got divorced 2 years ago. It was really hard and still is but it gets better. Time truly helps. And I say this as her best friend and she tells me all of her woes. Time helps it feel less hurtful. I’m so sorry you have to go through this.

I’m so sorry, I have been there and it sucks. My advice is to do whatever you need to get through this next period in your life. Don’t beat yourself up if you are minimally functioning for a while. And ask for whatever support you need from any and everyone who can offer it. I had some friends who took me in and were…

Not divorced, but the child of divorced parents and also almost had a wedding. One parent was devastated with the divorce, by after a period of mourning has gone on to lead a healthy and vibrant life. Surround yourself with people that love you, and fuck around with people that don’t. I’m so so sorry but please know…

I went through this as well. (Today’s actually my former wedding anniversary) It’s going to be difficult, but you will get through it and find that you are stronger than you ever knew. Surround yourself with loved ones and remember the importance of self-care. Allow yourself your emotions, but don’t be ashamed to…

I’ve been through this. In 2013, my husband moved us from the midwest to Los Angeles, promptly began fucking a mutual friend, and decided our marriage was over (or, if you believe his initial ramblings ‘I’m not sure I even, like, believe in marriage at all’).

I’m right here with you. My 14 year relationship is on the rocks. I wasn’t expecting this, and it really sucks. You have crying jags, too?

Took me about two years. It’ll suck. You’ll be okay in time.

I don’t know if you have kids or not, but if not, do your best to maintain no contact, or as little contact as possible, and don’t engage in any kind of discussion beyond ones that are logistical/necessary. It’s hard, but believe me continuing to dive into that sorrow pool is much, much harder.
