4. Taking up as much space as you want in bed
This is pretty superficial but you can hog the covers as much as you want. It’s your bed now.
5. Regaining your confidence as an individual
No one enters a marriage expecting to get a divorce. As you grow together, the more you balance and anchor each other. When you go through a divorce, you lose that balance and anchor. You must re-learn to stand on your own again.
Learning to tackle life solely once again will help you find the confidence you need to move forward happily.
6. Finding strength you never knew you had
It’s definitely going to build over time. You’ll find it the first time you make dinner for one; the first time you make a big financial decision without a spouse; the first time you kill a spider on your own; the first time you feel like you cannot possibly face the world today, but you do anyway. Each time you jump a hurdle you never thought you’d encounter, you realize your capacity to do hard things.
Therefore, embrace the change. Do your best to embrace the parts of the divorce process that are hard, but also embrace the parts that will help you through it. You will make it.
