Some divorce advice for everyone. Here are 99 crazy things you (yes, even you!) will do in divorce.

Here’s the remaining 99 crazy things you do in divorce. (You can check out my blog post with the first half of the crazy things list you’ll do right here.)

You’ll probably find yourself doing some of these slightly odd things listed here.

50. Becoming the “divorce expert” in your circle of friends.

51. Shaving your legs more.

52. Or going weeks without shaving them, when you’ve given up.

53. Wishing you could run away.

54. Free range fear becomes your constant co-pilot.

55. Being awake at 3am. 4am. 5am. You fall asleep as your alarm goes off at 6.

56. Adding your divorce attorney to your iphone favorites list.

57. The strange quiet that first day your child is with your Ex.

58. What do you do without your child around?

59. Sleeping in your child’s bed just to smell their scent.

60. Being afraid your child hates you. So you buy them more candy. Or apps.

61. Christmas morning. Alone.

62. Suddenly hating Santa Claus and his elf minions.

63. Crying in yoga class. The instructor brings Kleenex to class for you.

64. Going to a movie alone on Thanksgiving.

65. Running into your Ex’s brother. Do you speak or pretend you don’t seem him? You go with pretend.

66. Couples dinner parties. Where exactly do you sit?

67. Shopping for groceries at 7-11.

68. Worrying (which is why God created champagne!)

69. Feeling numb.

70. Numb isn’t so bad.

71. Wondering if everyone else wakes up worrying too.

72. Deciding if you do end up alone, you’ll be OK.

73. Fro Yo!

74. Not calling people back for weeks. Months. Do I actually have to form words?

76. Suddenly everyone you meet is divorcing.

77. You can list all the celebs currently divorcing.

78. Buying a date dress.

79. How can Gwyneth make even divorce seem cool?

80. You have to find all new friends.

81. Don’t you hate having to find all new friends?

82. You have no photos for your dating profile. They all suck.

83. Getting one of your new friends to take a dating site photo. You look like a frightened accountant.

84. Gummy bears!

85. You get depressed and attempt to lighten your own hair.

86. Pay $250 to get someone to undo that Miss Clairol home coloring mishap.

87. Don’t recognize yourself in the mirror anymore. (That might be a good thing.)

88. Bless your friends that will let you vent and rant and crazy text.

89. Wishing you could go home, if only you knew where that was.

90. Insulting yourself to get out of bed.

91. Do I really have to put on actual non-pajama clothing?

92. Everything exhausts you. Including yourself.

93. Microwave popcorn is a meal.

94. Searching youtube for divorce advice.

95. Being alone can be fun!

96. Dear Lord, I’m not flirting with your husband.

97. Feeling nauseous when opening any letter from your attorney’s office.

98. Now you get how people make it through great difficulties. They have no choice.

99. Realizing, even with all your flaws, you really aren’t so bad after all. In fact, you like you.

  • I've been divorced for years now, but can still remember nearly ALL of these in vivid detail! I'm so glad to see I wasn't the only one, thank you for posting this.

    • So glad you enjoyed it! Funny that we all seem to do the same crazy things during our divorces! Some things I guess are universal!

  • I'm going through a divorce now, and some I can relate to, some I can't. No one I know is in the same position as I am (I'm the first one in my circle of friends to have her marriage end), so I can't explain how I feel.

    Thanks for posting this - it is good to know I'm not alone.
