Welcome to AngryExWife
A passion project about human behaviour at its most vulnerable and irrational. Divorce is not the end.
I know the name of this blog can stir negative emotions and many have presumed I am attacking a side. That was not the aim, but these responses seem to be relative to where people are in the process. So much so, that a name change is on the way.
The only people who respond positively with a grimace or a laugh are people who are married or those post lawyers.
I don't encourage bad behaviour or picking sides. Quite the opposite, I never judge and I write with the intent to provide a platform for someone to share their experience. People have shared their most vulnerable moments, and I respect them by not publishing specific details but by sharing another aspect.
That's not to say I haven't been shocked and wanted to dig even deeper.
The stories remain anonymous even when the person was happy to be openly public.
Divorce is a journey and you will never know what is ahead of you. That can be twenty years down the road when a small blip changes everything. I have witnessed this, and it's a non negotiable should you want to share.
You don't have to be the person divorcing to share your story. You can be a relative, a work colleague, HR, a Judge or even a friend or babysitter.
Divorce has a ripple effect on everyone in different ways.
In the two years I have been writing and meeting people, I have received nothing but thank you from grandparents, siblings and people struggling with the process. I have also received messages from married people because I have reminded them to do better in their marriage. It's easy to see how things avalanche when you ignore the signs.
If you are a professional, you are not anonymised unless you want to be. I only publish the positive insights and knowledge and for now nothing is paid.
Your sharing is genuinely caring.
