What impact has the current economic climate had on your decision to divorce?

Posted Monday, October 6, 2008 - 4:42pm

I have to put off my divorce until I can make it on my own

We’re still divorcing, but with increasing trepidation

Times are so tough that I'm having regrets about divorcing

No regrets, but I may need to renegotiate my settlement

None… Liberation is priceless!

What's your biggest fear or obstacle in getting remarried?

Posted Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 11:22am

I'm doomed to make the same mistakes all over again

My friends will start a wager on how long this one will last

I'll be too scared to leave if this one doesn't work

He'll either cheat on me or leave me

If this marriage fails, there must be something wrong with me

I have no fears! I'm moving on with confidence

What are your secret regrets?

Posted Tuesday, September 9, 2008 - 12:12pm

I regret leaving my Ex. I want my old life back

I regret I didn't say "no" to marriage and "yes" to career

I regret thinking that having kids could "fix" us

I regret I didn't leave sooner

I regret nothing! My past is part of who I am now

What's the biggest challenge you have faced in your post-divorce job search?

Posted Friday, August 22, 2008 - 3:14pm

There's a large time gap on my resume

I have no idea what I WANT to do or CAN do

I don't have the skills/education for the job I want/need

I can't afford childcare while I'm at work

I can't seem to fit my post-kid body into a cute pant suit

When your Ex has the kids, what do you do with your time?

Posted Friday, August 15, 2008 - 9:24am

Sit dumbfounded trying to figure out what to do

Eat bad food. Drink. Catch up on R-rated movies

Finally do some work and polish my jobs skills so I can shine

Have wild overnights with my boyfriend...or some girlfriends

Worry I'm a terrible mom because I enjoy the peace and quiet

How is Your Ex still in the picture?

Posted Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - 10:48am

I tolerate my ex for the kids and try to act civil

Love my ex just not the way I used to

My ex is on speed dial: certain habits are hard to break

We still share some of the same friends

He's not: want him cropped out

I would recommend my ex for a date

How do you celebrate family milestones?

Posted Friday, May 2, 2008 - 9:24am

As a large, happily-blended family

Together like oil and water

My Ex and I plan two separate but equal functions

My Ex and I compete to out-do each other
