I remember how tough it was after my divorce. Since she picked most of my friends, hijacked my family, for a year I was alone most holidays. The ones that really bugged me were three day summer weekends. I was too anxious to fish or do something relaxing, no money to travel as the ex has it, so I exercised and went to work. Yep, work
Exempt employee, so I didnt qualify for overtime , but I worked nonetheless. Having that one extra day without phones ringing, and paper pushing women bothering me allowed me to really organize the following weeks. It made me much more productive. And I would do a project now and again for the big boss, got a promotion.
Came out stronger financially, then did something stupid, got married again and divorced again (nobody is perfect)
Anyways, a shoutout to the newly single, life gets better, use this extra time wisely
Tip for the married, have a group of friends apart from your wife as divorces come out of the blue with no or little warning
