Why not celebrate?

We celebrate everything else. Why not celebrate being divorced? It's the biggest party of our lives when we get married. I think we should embrace the the idea of divorce, it is happening, take the opportunity to celebrate your transition. How many of you think this a good idea?

Of course! But I understand how people typically see it as an end rather than a beginning. After all we typically have invested a lot in our relationships and often it involves more than just two people. But it is a beginning and our friends should help us celebrate the opportunity rather than dwell on the past. Personally I am theortically still married for another few weeks but have been "divorced" physically for a 18 months so I am ready for a party to celebrate!

When are you going to have a meet up group season?

I wish I'd thought of the celebration thing sooner. My closest friends are married, so they were uncomfortable with this sort of idea, but you definitely need people to bond with during this uncoupling time. I found that with a former group, in NJ, we did bond, but then the group became sub-cliques based on parents/singles/age/etc. It was a bummer because we didn't remain friends.
