Cupid’s Advice:
Divorce is a literal death of a marriage and is an emotional and stressful ride. Cupid has some ways to keep things civil during a divorce:
1. Communication through a neutral party: A divorce unleashes a flood of emotions including grief, anxiety, fear, anger, and pain. A response like this is normal, over time the intensity of your feelings will subside. To avoid a yelling and screaming match try seeking a trusted friend, family member or therapist who can help you communicate.

2. Focus on the future: Talking about why you broke up or who’s to blame will not solve anything. Try avoiding these conversations with your soon to be ex. Keep your discussions focused on there here and now. Such as what needs to be done, and if there are children, focus on their needs and schedules.
