People who had a straightforward and basic divorce, such as a joint?
Honestly, it was just another day to me. Any sadness and disappointment I may have felt was experienced during the marriage itself and right before the divorce. During one divorce, me and my ex-husband had to meet to sign some paperwork partitioning the real property we co-owned, and both of us were congenial and smiling. It really felt like a weight had been lifted. We could be nice to each other again now that the reasons for our conflict and mutual resentment had been sorted out. That said, I think that he had the hardest time moving forward because I had always supported both of us financially, and he had never held a full-time, permanent position. So he went through a fairly dramatic lifestyle change, having to get up every morning, every day, and come to depend only on himself. But he muddled through it. We both did.
