How should everyone behave after the bride and groom’s vows of “I do” turn into “I do not”?
Divorces are nasty, tangled affairs, and while being civil to your ex is sometimes a task as daunting as taking the one ring to Mordor (in J. R. R. Tolkien’s fictional universe of Middle-Earth), it’s not impossible. Divorce and the early post-divorce period are times when emotions are running high, decorum is soon forgotten, and everyone gets in on the mess, from in-laws to friends and family. Everyone gets a piece of the divorce drama pie, and somehow, amidst all this, you have to try to stay civil to your ex. Why? Because it is classy and because it is the right thing to do, no matter how difficult it is and whether you have children or not.
Etiquette is usually one of the first things thrown out the window during a divorce, possibly alongside some of your ex’s belongings. I will admit at one point I tossed many of my ex’s clothes out of the second-story window of our house, and my ex had to climb the trees to get some of his dangling underwear. It was not one of my finest moments, but everyone has at least one of these moments during a divorce. Like many, my emotions were on high power, ranging from rage to fits of crying, and honestly, no one is in the mood for being polite during divorce. However, when all is said and done, the papers are signed, the ink is dry, and the waters cool down, and there comes a time when you and your ex need to put things in perspective and act like adults to each other.
Being cordial to each other and showing you do follow some sort of etiquette is a positive step in the right direction toward moving on and not letting your emotions for your ex dictate the rest of your life.
