The 3 Worst Ways to Tell Your Spouse You Want a Divorce
Think back to high school when you were dating the love of your life and walked around in a state of bliss. Then, inexplicably, you saw him/her making out with someone else under the bleachers after school. That's the moment you found out you were breaking up. Marriage is supposed to be different, better, more mature. However, after careful and extensive research, I've discovered that that's not always the case. Here are the three absolute worst ways to tell your spouse you want a divorce. Bleachers not included.
A Post-it. If you've ever seen this episode of Sex and The City, then you know it can happen. My friend once woke up to an empty apartment, her husband's ring on the counter and next to it was a Post-it that read, "I want a divorce. P.S. I fed the cat." Now, add to it that he emptied the cupboards of all the alcohol and you've got the third worst way to announce you want a divorce. This ranks third because technically, it's non-confrontational. No yelling or destruction of property takes place here. But in most cases, it's horrendous because the emotional wreckage is vast. The recipient of said Post-it is left, holding a 3X3 divorce decree wondering why he chose green as opposed to pink. If you must leave without a verbal adieu, then have the temerity to write a proper note giving reasons behind your decision... on something larger than three inches that isn't a neon color.
