I got divorced in the best way possible
Signed the papers yesterday and I thought I'd be the hardest thing ever. Turned out it was the easiest one.
I'm not saying anything against my wife (ex-wife now). She's a very loving and caring person. What I'm talking about is the divorce process itself because I thought it would be a very complicated process, but turns out it isn't (at least for us two).
I could go into detail about what led to the divorce, but I really don't want to because it's very personal for me sorry
When we first got together, my partner thought I was crazy for suggesting we write down expectations about finances, careers, and future plans. But that very prenup that we did right before our wedding helped so much during the divorce process.
I binged this Huberman Lab episode yesterday with some divorce attorney named James Sexton talking about how legal contracts actually strengthen relationships rather than jinx them (wild concept, I know). He even said how couples with prenups actually stay married longer on average. Not us obviously (bad joke I know) but the episode explained why our split was so smooth.
We're legit still friends, which I didn't think was possible. We even had dinner last week.
This was my divorce experience and I'm very curious if someone else had similar experiences with me (especially if u guys did a prenup before the wedding)
