I'm trying to sign up for men's #cooking #lessons here in #Japan to placate my busy #Japanese wife. While she was away, I made this cheese omelette; beginner's luck! A #community center has me on a waiting list, or I could spill for more upscale lessons. It is astonishing and unJapanese that single-person #households are approaching 40%. #Single #men of all ages have a poor #diet, which exacerbates the #lifespan gap with #women. #Loneliness is also a #health hazard. Many men are #widowed, never #married, or their #wives #divorce them, often after the children become independent and the husband is useless around the house after a busy career. Single men, or married men interested in cooking or helping their wives, possibly fearing their wives' pent-up anger, can find #companionship as well as #survival #skills in cooking lessons. Men's classes start from zero; women #cook and #socialize.

Today is a very hard day for me

It’s my 16th wedding anniversary, but my marriage is ending and I’m grieving sorely for the loss of the future I had hoped for my family 😢

I’d love to hear any stories from parents who have come out on the other side of divorce and are doing OK 🙏🏼

I’ve been over exercising and starving myself to lose weight. I know that I’m more attractive when I’m lean, so this is all part of looking for validation from others. I know that exercise and love addiction are my means of self medicating for the absence of love from my mum during my early years and childhood, and yet I seem unable to change. I’m also using these things to deal with the pain of my separation from my own kids since the #divorce. At least I’m not medicating with drugs.

Have you ever attended a divorce party before?
I've attended 2, pre-covid & they were way more fun & interesting than past bachelorette parties.

#UnreportedWorld meets the #women of #Mauritania beating the #stigma of #divorce and throwing lavish #DivorceParties to celebrate. Reporter Ayshah Tull finds out if #DivorceCulture and women taking multiple husbands is as #empowering as it sounds.

In England c. 1830, it was legal cause for divorce if one partner had committed adultery. But if both partners had, then #divorce was not available.

Re the micro-micro #wedding: how the ‘big day’ got smaller, more intimate and affordable - article in The Guardian newspaper. We #eloped, with no guests, & a photographer and a stranger lady dragged in off the street by the registrar as witnesses. #Eloping was the best option in the middle of my parents’ very traumatic #divorce. A wonderful wedding day. It will be our 29th wedding #anniversary next month. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/aug/14/micro-micro-wedding-how-big-day-got-smaller-more-intimate-affordable #Weddings #Marriage #Elopement #ScottishWeddings #Scotland #Romance

After leaving her marriage, Lyz Lenz found herself with stretches of time on her own. "Every day I was alone, I had to ask myself, What do I want to eat? The question seemed impossible," she says. For her Substack, she talked to Margaret Eby, who is working on a book about eating alone. "Margaret helped me understand how what we eat when we eat alone can help us become the purest expression of ourselves — in all our dirtbag glory," Lenz says.

1500€ de frais d'#Avocat à avancer avant la fin de l'année :blob_sweat:

Tout ca pour répondre à la désormais légendaire #Toxicité de mon ex-femme 🙄

Doing #research for a book led me to #divorce rate #statistics in #Aotearoa NZ.

Turns out there's a MASSIVE spike in divorces in 1981 & 1982.

Like, 1980:9%, 1981:11.9%, 1982:17.1%(!!), 1983:13.3% - and then it stabilises back out at about 11% for the next 30 odd years.

Anyone know what might be the cause of that?

Incidentally, there's also a precipitous plummit in marriages after 1971. Any known reasons for that?

Boosts welcome.

A close friend is also going through a #separation. She's the one person who fully understands what I'm going through, so we get together and talk for hours, knowing that we won't judge or get bored.

But we're different too. Every minute of a separation is challenging, but I'm determined to get through it without bitterness. Just because she doesn't want to be with me doesn't mean my wife is a bad person.

My friend is different. "I need to hate him," she says. "It makes me happy."

"Divorce has become a hot topic among many red-state Republican lawmakers. Most recently, in January 2024, Oklahoma lawmaker Dusty Deevers proposed a bill to eliminate no-fault divorce and suggested 'public shaming' of spouses who commit marital fault and then divorce. Restricting no-fault divorce is also part of both the Texas and Nebraska Republican Party platforms, and was recently debated by Louisiana lawmakers."

Why are Americans fighting over no-fault divorce? Maybe they can’t agree what marriage is for:

I've actually been having a pretty nice, quiet, mostly alone weekend, and I've been surprised that it's been okay--even good!--after feeling lonely and down during this past week.

But then this morning a wave of grief took me for a tumble.

I think because it's my adult daughter's birthday today--and she chooses not to interact with me.

It is what it is.

Doesn't mean it's not hard sometimes.
