Cupid’s Advice:
Divorces will always be hard. Here are some of Cupid’s tips to help ease the transition:
1. Accept your mistakes: Rather than playing the blame game, understand that both of you played a role in the failure of your marriage. Owning up to your faults will also prevent unnecessary arguments.
2. Agree on space: After a divorce, both you and your ex need your personal space. Only contact your ex-spouse if it’s absolutely necessary, or when it involves the children.
3. Leave the kids out: Your kids didn’t divorce your ex, so avoid discussing matters of opinion concerning it with your children. Take a number from Sheen and Mueller, and avoid arguing with your ex when they’re around. By avoiding trash talk and gossip, your children will continue loving and respecting each parent – just as they did before the divorce.
