Well, when your going through it...it's not a momentous occasion. At least not for me when I filed and  the whole process is horrible. I have the same questions male/female? Whose Idea was it to celebrate? Theirs or friends who are thrilled? I think it;s important to be around friends when going through this horrible time. Emotions run high and low and change between the two alot. Just saying. sorry anyone has to endure this unpleasant but sometimes necessary pain!

Male friend. DH has known him for 15 yrs, I've known him for 11 yrs & he is a genuinely good person. And everyone is happy about it. I'm old school & am generally not a big divorce advocate BUT his soon to be ex wife is an absolute piece of work. He's excited to be finding himself again & I'm excited for him. She cheated on him 4 times in the 4 years they were together. He hadn't bought a single new pair of shoes in those 4 years or any clothes for himself because she was sooo expensive. In that time she held down a job for ONE month & he was their sole support otherwise. I'm proud of him for finding his voice & decided enough is enough. So yes, after 4 years of this lying, cheating, manipulative, gold digging, toxic woman in his life, evvveryone is happy to see her go. He will be MUCH better off without. I know who he is as a person so I know he won't want to sit home & do nothing after something as big as filing. So far all I've really got is gun range & twin peaks. I'm not really getting any other feedback. 4951
