Divorce Is…

 I remember all those cheesy “Love Is” sayings, posters, cards, etc.

I think it might be time foe the rebuttal. 

Divorce Is…

“Getting to forfeit your last Words With Friends game and never having to play against Jill again.”  Because I HATE that fucking game.  Will only play with my Aunt Randy.

“Never having to go to Houston again for Thanksgiving.”  I may spend time with her family, but in shorter doses.  And quite likely for happy and sad occasions.

“Not spending all of Christmas with the whole Jill family.”  Last year I actually did my first Jewish Christmas in years - a movie and Chinese food takeout. 

Certainly, I’ll miss the companionship, the friendship, the traditions, and lots of other things.  But these are the positive things. Like

“Getting even more of a break from cooking every fucking meal.”  Fresh Chef, grown kids, and busy schedules have lessened this over the years, but still -just need to feed myself.

I’ll add as things come to me.  Just looking on the fucking bright side.
