Valentine's Day After Divorce

February 11, 2022

Dear Friends,

If you're recently divorced, or going through a divorce now, the prospect of Valentine's Day on your own can be scary. For a long time, you've had a go-to date, someone to buy you flowers or candy or take to dinner.

Just because you're divorced doesn't mean you're alone.

Instead of focusing on what Valentine's Day used to mean for you and your ex, focus on how you can do something nice for yourself or others. Take yourself to the spa or buy yourself some flowers. Take your kids out for dinner or call a friend. Remind yourself that there are people in your life who care about you. Staying off social media is usually a good idea too.

Divorce definitely changes your life, but it's often be in ways that are healthy and positive. This Valentine's Day, take time to remind yourself of the ways your life is better now and celebrate them.

This Valentine's Day, Let’s Hear It for Divorce

I love divorce. I know, I know; this sounds like one of those clicky openers designed to get people to yell at me, but let me explain. [...] I’m 28 now, and while I can’t say that my parents’ divorce hasn’t affected me at all as an adult, I honestly think it’s given me more than it’s taken from me. Not only did I grow up with two parents who were infinitely happier apart than they were together, I also learned by example to prioritize my own stability and pull the ripcord on any relationship that’s leeching me of my comfort.
