Show Divorce Div orce A Positive Look i Z r t.- t. t N u 7 1 w V i j I by Mary T u I- I 1 4 y V When I joined the ranks of divorced women I was disappointed f to discover that although there have been many books books' and nd art articles cles written about divorce and its consequences the res results ts the authors wrote about were either bad sad scarey or to say the least negative Not one book or a article I read described the benefits of divorce that a woman could look forward to I realize the authors of these literary masterpieces of gloom found it necessary to knock some sense into the newly divorced lady and force her to face the grim realities of surviving alone However I feel it is far more beneficial to enlighten the frightened female with the many joys and blessings which will be hers once the husband moves out I know I cant can't speak for all divorced women as far as what I consider the e joys and blessings of living alone but I have a strong feeling after reading my examples of compensations that the majority of these same women will exclaim right I dont don't have to put up with that an anymore moe I do have a lot to look forward to Maybe this divorce wont won't be so bad after all alL Why haven't the literary experts in the field of divorce informed these damsels in distress of the compensatory factors they can look forward to after separation For example imagine the relief of going to the bathroom without having to turn toilet seat is down not being the light on because one knows for sure that the criticized as an unfit housewife just because bec use the peas are having babies in the refrigerator not having to anticipate the menacing glares when the baked to listen liste to the nagging to potatoes or carrots ar are a little undercooked not having not with having ones one's figure compared to write a letter to his mother putting up that cute little blond down the street or hearing the remark why dont don't you look like her Last and of most importance is the extreme pleasure of not shouldn't in front of the listening to holier than thou statements like you swear children dear or You really should try to take better care of yourself dear When will these geniuses on the subject of divorce enlighten the dumped darlings of America on the gratifications of going up a flight of stairs without the fear of being pinched from behind of changing the T TV V. V channel without the fear of of rolling over in bed without the fear of beer having to dodge a half empty can being growled at to get over damn it and that the h has problems facing her I realize that a divorced woman s many authors on the subject mean well when they give advice on what she m may y have I have found in the few short However to endure in her quest for independence months I have been divorced that the two most valuable v assets a newly single of humor plus the ability to keep her mind mindon on woman can have are a good sense the positive aspects of her new life rather than constantly dwelling on the negative need for authors to My readers might qu question stion how I came to discover the when writing about divorce and its more positive approach present a It is really quite simple It hit me when I came to this beautiful consequences realization never again would I have to clean up those disgusting dribbles around the toilet |
