Things I wish someone would’ve told me before I got divorced in my 20s — Part 3

Transcript

Things I wish someone would’ve told me before I got divorced in my 20s part 3. Starting off with number 7. You should not have to shrink your needs just to keep your relationship peaceful. If the only way to avoid conflict is for you to stop asking for things, that's not peace. Number 8. If you’ve been part of a couple for most of your adult life, you might have absolutely no idea who you are when the relationship ends. That’s okay. You get to figure it out. And number 9. Divorce isn’t just sadness. You can feel grief, relief, anger, freedom, guilt, and happiness practically at the same time. Apparently divorce comes with the emotional variety pack. Um, and part 4 is next. See you.
