My divorce isn't even through yet and I am bracing myself for those moments of sadness that you describe.I never intended to walk this path and it is hard not to thing of it as another failure sometimes.<br /><br />My mother said recently "It's a shame you ever married him"! I then reminded her how she came by her two adored grandchildren! You are so right.

It all sounds rather hollow. The funny thing is that the biggest beneficiaries are the people cashing in on it. I admit it's nice to celebrate closure but there's something very trite about celebrating divorce. I imagine these people going home and having a good cry! I am afraid of hen parties so yours sounds rather lovely! It's a rather sad state of affairs when people are celebrating the end of something that they were only too happy to celebrate years before.

Great story too, euww, your poor friend's ears! At least it must have made her absolutely sure she'd done the right thing. I remember the columnist Kathryn Flett saying she'd nailed her wedding and engagement rings to a tree and then shot them to smithereens with a 12-bore. Sounds like the infection-free way to go! xx NMO, lovely to see you darling! Great story too, euww, your poor friend's ears! At least it must have made her absolutely sure she'd done the right thing.

Marriage, and divorce, are definitely not all they're cracked up to be!

I'm not saying closure isn't a good thing - it absolutely is! But if you have children you never really get closure ....as we know!

Perhaps we could find some university with a few million to spare and we could investigate. I think we'll need a few staples to start off our research, so Chardonnay, chocolate, boxed set of Sex and the City ....
