Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
Many of us DS ladies responded to Anne7676's post yesterday about mowing the lawn, and how empowering it is to succeed at something outside our typical skill set.
Now, in my marriage, I was always the handy one (stbx is lucky he knows which end of the screwdriver to pick up), but he always took care of the household IT stuff. Turns out I can do that, too, and better than he can. (Somehow I'm reminded of that old Broadway classic from Annie Get Your Gun)
What tasks have you guys all learned to do that your stbx's did, and how awesome does it feel to be able to take care of yourself?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Well, know I'm doing that and I feel stronger for it.
The house is a mess, but I am used to it. It's the same its always been.
She contributed nothing.
If anyone needs a Semi moved, I can even do THAT!!!
I am as "Well Rounded" as it gets...Now to learn to make a Living.
Now I just need to teach my kids to use a rake!
I do make more financial decisions alone now. Even though I am qualified to make them, it feels strange not to bounce different scenarios off of him before committing to something.
According to my kids, STBX cooks the same three things everytime they're there, and doesn't clean really at all. Funny since he used to cook when he lived with us, and was always griping about how he did more cleaning than I did.
I cooked Thanksgiving turkey, roast chicken, steaks, and last night a moose roast. I can mash potatoes, cook veggies, bake muffins, cakes.
I do not fear the kitchen anymore. What a crock, stbx was always saying how hard she cooked, etc. I feel really great when I can cook a full meal for my daughter and my gf.
