Shock

Getting divorced in midlife is a shock. Learning to enjoy being alone is a big ask if you’ve enjoyed coupledom or family life. If you don’t want to change, divorce is inconvenient. However, if there’s an inevitability about it, when one person wants out, why delay the process? It’s time to catch up with reality and move on it. You have a new life to create, where all those structures you may not have realised were constraining you no longer apply unless you want to simply rinse and repeat. Which often looks like an easier option, and might be your dharma.
