There are many issues that can arise in a divorce that you may not have yet considered. First, you need to make sure you give yourself time to deal with and recover from this life-altering decision. The time period for recovery varies with each individual, so do not rush.

Second, it is generally recommended that you refrain from diving into a personal relationship post-divorce until at least one year has passed by. You need to use this time to build your strength and “find yourself.” This will ensure that you are less vulnerable and susceptible to getting hurt once you do decide to start dating again. Avoid rebound relationships or inviting a new relationship into your home during the initial stages of a divorce. This often breeds resentment which escalate divorce tensions and alienate children who are being asked to accept a newcomer to quickly.

Third, you need to protect your job. Your weak and shattered emotional and mental status will have a direct effect on your employment and your relationship with your co-workers and boss. Do not make any rash decisions as to quitting. Your unhappiness at your job may simply be the reflection of your personal life. Take time off, if possible, or get help.

Finally, don’t alienate your friends. Some friendships may be so entangled with your spouse, it will be very awkward to continue. However, your close friends will be supportive of what you are going through and may be the supportive crutch that you need to lean on. Nevertheless, be careful of taking advice from your friends. Although you can and should listen politely, take it with a grain of salt. After all, they weren’t in the relationship with your and your spouse, so they cannot give you the proper advice that you need, even though they mean well.
