Rocky Balboa’s Got Nothing On Single Moms!

  Submitted by Delaine I’m writing this article with the theme song of the movie Rocky playing in my mind.  For at this very moment, I don’t just feel like Delaine The Divorced Mother who raises her three kids 95% of the time on her own with no help.  No no -  I am a champion; [...]

Guys, Don’t Hate Her Cause She Has Dated Younger Men

Submitted by Delaine As I read through his lengthy profile on the dating site, I found myself laughing out loud.  It was written with such good humor that I assumed THIS line was too:  “What I don’t like: 1) Women who date younger men in the hopes of hiding from the fact they are OLD. 2) Women who [...]

The Male Wound & Why They Act Like Pigs

Submitted by Delaine So I’m becoming less judgmental and more open to men – and it has taken me a few years to get to here since divorcing  (better late than never, right?).   But after watching the movie, The Ugly Truth, and seeing how underneath Gerard’s Butler piggish character was a wounded man with a big heart, the [...]

And JUST LIKE THAT, Love Might Enter Your Life

Submitted by Delaine Shannon’s day had been typical and ordinary; she’d had no ‘signs’ or reasons to think it might be anything but. At 5 o’clock, having finishing her nursing shift at the hospital, she decided to stop in at a trendy bistro for a drink;  having a drink alone was no big deal to her whatsoever.  She stomped [...]

Was Your Divorce A Means To Heal Old Baggage?

Submitted by Divorce Coach Shelley Stile Here’s a fascinating take on divorce that I find more true than not:  We choose our spouses, usually subconsciously, as a means to healing old emotional wounds we have been carrying around our entire life. Our divorce then becomes the wakeup call to clean up that mental baggage we [...]

Anger & Mistrust of Men: Have Your Walls Become Your Prison?

Submitted by Delaine Do you ever wonder if divorce and/or infidelity have ‘hardened’ you? I don’t mean ‘hardened’ as in “made you stronger.”  I mean as in, “encased you in a shell of mistrust and bitterness towards the opposite sex.” Cause that’s what happened to me; I wasn’t even conscious of it at the time.  Truth is, to this day, I still [...]

Under The Scrutiny Of Married Women

Submitted by Delaine Sara looks amazing at age 42.  Having recently become a triathlete and dedicated herself to an intense training regime,  she has a figure – and a muscle/fat ratio -  most of us would give our eye-teeth  for. But Sara is also divorced.  And just because of the ’D’ label, she has had to deal with something most [...]

“TigerText”- A Way For Cheaters to Cover Their Tracks

Submitted by Delaine It’s something I bet Tiger Woods wished he’d had - and something everyone, including cheaters, can now take advantage of.  It’s called TigerText.  And it can kill embarassing text messages or ‘evidence’ – forever. Released this past February by California start-up, X Sigma Partners, TigerText is an iPhone application that enables users to set [...]

Guilty or Not Guilty? False Representation In The Bedroom

Submitted by Delaine When my divorced friend Barb moved in with her new boyfriend two years ago, she promised herself she’d make their relationship - particularly their sex life - top priority.  So in addition to their 6-10 weekly sessions of dynamite sex, Barb ALSO decided to make every Friday night all about his  – and only his – sexual pleasure. Now I’m sure you’d [...]

The Value of a Smart, Knowledgeable, No BS Girlfriend During Divorce

Submitted by Delaine Smart.  Knowledgeable.  A ‘no bullshit’ kind of woman.  This is the kind of girlfriend/ e-friend I think every divorcing woman needs to have in her corner during her divorce. I’m not saying it’s the only kind of friend we need.  There are those whose shoulders we cry on, those who provide spiritual insight, those who make us laugh, and so on. [...]
