Are their kids involved?

If yes, then probably best to tap your breaks. It might be tempting to move to hawaii and setup a new life in the jungle working for cash only and not paying child support like my friend Justin’s dad did. However that really messed him up because his mom was a mess and dad disappeared. You will definitely still need make changes but within the framework of still being a good father.

If no, then I say now is a great time to reassess what you want your new life to look like. Move to the Bahamas and start a dive shop. It’s your life and you only get one.

I immediately wanted to sell my house & move far away to a different state or join the military. After talking to some people, it was repeatedly recommended that I don’t make any major life changing decisions until I get a hold of myself. Everything went down in October, divorced finalized in January. Everyday since, has been the same day on repeat for me. I’ve had enough & am trying to sell my house. She left all of her belongings at my house & stuck me with all 5 pets. For me personally, it’s been time for major change & I’m somewhat in a better place but had to seek help from psychiatry & therapy. I’m the one who’s been stuck with parts from my old life every single day, not her & it’s time.

When you can tell yourself that you’d make the change for you without weighing your divorce as a variable. If the change is something you’d do if you weren’t hanging on or grieving or uncertain or distracted, make the change. It will help reestablish you as an individual. Don’t make the change if you care if you ex notices or has an opinion on it.
