Congrats. Now let's hope you learned your lesson.

Thanks for all of the good advice (especially the one about the hooker). I knew that this day was coming but now that It's here, I feel kind of lost.

I've felt this way once before. was happy to be out of the relationship but a little lonely in the evenings. Try to stay busy with friends if you can. Sometimes if I was bored and wanted to chat, I'd talk to people here at the asylum. In fact I still do this occasionally, lots of great people here.

The best advice I can give is to spend some time alone. It may be quiet around the house, but in my experience it's not a good idea to start looking for a new companion just yet. Internet, cigars and maybe a little wine are the best medicine for loneliness.

Been through it as well. Spending some time alone is the best idea. Don't get into another relationship for at least a year, maybe more. And the best thing I did for myself after splitting with my ex-wife was to go see a therapist. Really.

It's not an easy transition, even without kids in the picture. Just be careful, take care of yourself, and remember that just because there's no longer a need to justify your purchases to anyone else, you still need to pay the bills.

Hope this is the start of better things to come, Don.

Congratulations, now you can go to the cigar bar all day, come home smelling like a chimney and nobody will say a word!

Get some friends together, have a smoke and a few drinks(if you want). Just enjoy some good conversation and enjoy freedom. Soak it all in Don. It feels great.

Let's define FREE. Do you owe her money each month?
Can she call you anytime "She feels like talking"?
Are there kids involved who will be splitting time?

Freedom isn't free. This is not what they meant, but it sure is a catch all phrase.

If your answer to the above questions was NO each time, congratulations, you are free.

I asked my lawyer how we did. She said "better than most men end up with".

DIRECT DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF DIVORCE:
(Latin)- To rip a man's genitals out through his wallet.

Good thing you made out better

I paid a **** ton of money to my lawyer. In the end the only things I lost were a couch and a table. I got everything else, including the kids and child support.

Congrats on your divorce!! It will get better. The hardest part for me was learning how to date all over again and I was only married for 4 years. Enjoy your freedom!

I know that some of you guys will want to kill me for telling you this but here goes. I received the latest bill from my lawyer today. I still have a $560 balance from my retainer. It looks like my lawyer will end up owing me money. On top of that she told me that if I get the Sheriffs job, she may have some side work for me. That's a switch, a divorce lawyer paying her client money.

Smoke something nice and take it all in... then let it out!!!

Set up an ultimate relax day at home. Put a cooler in front of the t.v., your Humi, any foods, a case of beer (your choice), and the remote. Watch t.v. for hours on end, smoke, and drink! Your a free man, time to kick back for a good 18 hours
