How is Life after Divorce?

Do dress up…but not for him. Do it for yourself instead. Do look good and have fun…but do it for yourself. Don’t act desperate or needy. You don’t have too cook his favorite meals all the time. You don’t even have to be at the house all the time…waiting for him…to be groveling after him…and being at his beck and call. Be out of the house sometimes. Go shopping…visit friends and family…pursue a hobby. It’s one thing to do something nice for your spouse…but human nature…in general…gets turned off by “trying too hard”…and chipku-ness. No, it’s not a game. It’s about you continuing to live your life…which does not revolve around him. This also means that you shouldn’t stare at him from afar with beseeching eyes that are wondering if he’s mad at you…or if he’ll ever forgive you. And when he sees that you’re strong…confident…that you don’t “need” him…he just might value your role in his life a bit more.
