I love that quote the best

I love that quote the best thing my ex-husband's girlfriend ever did was take him off my hands...I have been thinking lately as my divorce is almost final...to send her a thank you note! Not that I really would, but it is nice knowing I don't have to deal with him in a partner relationship again. I no longer have to wonder when he will cheat on me...again. That is all now behind me and my happily ever after is here!! AEH

it's a twisted world when

Happily Ever After is Possible after a Divorce for Sure!

Debbie, All I have to say is that everyone after a divorce can definitely have another version of "happily ever after." If someone would have told be last Spring that I would be in the wonderful, fun, abundant place that I am right now, I would not have believed them as I had so much to release from my view of what I thought my "happily ever after" was going to be. Now that I have do so (and much, much more), I can definitely agree with one of my favorite divorce-related quotes: "The best thing my ex-husband's girlfriend ever did was taken him off my hands." AMEN! And, I would not want my life to be any other way:). I hope Star Jones and all divorced women out there will give the same to themselves.

Quietly "Star"ring in Her Own Divorce

Marriage is wonderful when it works. Everyone is looking for a happily ever after.

But marriage takes energy, and these days average couples are working harder than ever to keep a marriage together, so you can imagine the challenge for a couple in the limelight, like Star Jones and Al Reynolds.

Someone told me they overheard Star on a plane a couple months ago saying that she and her husband had not even been in the same city over the last few months.

Can't blame the airlines for this long a layover.

For reasons only Star and Al know, one or more things along the way changed up their original gameplan for their version of..."happily ever after." I don't think she had that big wedding with the intention of getting divorced...getting a few freebies, maybe.

No one has a wedding with the intention of getting divorced. No one should judge, though people due to human nature cannot help themselves. Like Star said, "The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts."

Regardless of who files for divorce, it's painful and awkward for everyone involved.

There will be some other version of "happily ever after" for her and for him.

Though it's hard to imagine at the time, usually events that force change often bring you to a stronger better place — sometimes just a stronger arm — but hey, that also works.

Everyone who goes through divorce has another version of "happily ever after" within their reach.
