Cupid’s Advice:
Everyone and their mother have heard the horror stories that come hand and hand with divorces. With that many emotions running wild and free there’s bound to be some intense divorce drama. Cupid has some advice:
1. Patience: Often in divorce people think the quicker it’s over, the better off both parties will be, however this is not always the case. Many times taking things slowly and thinking everything through is the best way to go. Rather than rush through the process let the proceedings happen at their own pace.
2. Be firm with your decision: Once you make the decision to cut the tie from your spouse make sure you don’t waver. Going back and forth won’t help anyone in the situation so being resolute about your decision is the best avenue to take.
3. Communication: In many of life’s important instances, communication is the key to success. While there will likely be a plethora of things you want to say to your partner, make sure that you let them get in their words too. Communication is a two way street that must be tread on lightly, especially when it comes to ending a relationship.
