Planning for After A Divorce
02-24-2011, 12:40 AM
I'm most likely getting divorced soon. I'll be moving in with my parents to save money and clear my head. Afterward, I want to move to a new city and I've picked Seattle. My problem is that I have a menial job and supporting myself on it in Seattle will be difficult. I could stay with/around my parents and go back to school, but I moved far away from where they live for a reason. It's PCville and a pain in the ass to be. But if I bust through school for a few years, I could end up with a better job to move on.
I'd like some advice/anecdotes. This is all new to me, having my life turned upside down. I thank you all in advance.

Addendum: I realize that Seattle is pretty liberal and PC as well, but it's got way more to offer than where my folks live.

From what I read I think I'd do well there. I can easily fake liberalism and I've done a lot of traveling. I'm not looking for anything longer than a night or two, so it sounds like a nice fit.

I am not divorced, but I am back at "home" and regrouping. I am in school and hope to get certified before I bust out again.
So do not feel bad, take care of business and Fisto's recommendation sounds interesting.

Thanks for the replies. I've thought about the military, but I've got the drive and ambition to get ripped on my own. I've just been in a lazy rut pretty much my entire life. I've scraped the bottom of the barrel for far too long. It's simply being able to realize the people you thought were your class are far under you. There's so much more I can accomplish of I just fucking man up and follow what Solomon II blogged about a while ago: where I am is my kingdom and my word is law.

Your are American? You can go and teach English in China, South Korea or Japan. In China and South Korea you will earn about 1250-1500 US$ a month and you can live a comfortable and fun life with this salary in a medium sized city (6-7 million people)

Hmm . . . I was going to create a new thread but this is already here. My homeboy is going through a divorce. When is the best time to introduce GAME to my recently single friend? I don't want him to repeat the same mistakes.
Not to hijack your thread bro. Do what you have to do. Sit down and think. Plan for at least five years.
Don't go into the military unless you like to kill people. When I was in, it was about fucking, drinking, and killing. I loved it. It's probably about handing out lolipops these days.
Fuck it. Live with your parents. Build up a nest egg and then strike it out again. Oh don't swim around in your head. It's cancer.

My advice for guys getting divorced is go to Thailand or the Phils and FUCK LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW. In a month you'll forget ever being married and decide to never wife up again.
Years ago I got out of an ltr. I was devastated and took a long hiatus from sex to "clear my head". That was the gayest shit I've ever done. It did NOT put things into perspective. I spent six months brooding over what happened.
*edit*- Keep in mind you're probably and emotional train wreck. Watch out for that rebound stuff. I warned ya, so don't blame me when you go falling in love w/ a Thai hooker.
WRAP IT, TAP IT, AND RUN!!!!!

The plan has become to live with the folks for a while and work. Can't go to school without a year's residency. I'll probably end up getting my own place after a few months, or find a roommate or something. Cheap living where they are, and Im not going to waste my money on shit like I have been.
I'd say introduce him quickly. It's only been a week and a half since it was finally decided and I've got one girl reeling in currently. Game makes one feel powerful. Best get him to both grieve for the loss but also improve himself at the same time.

Why not sneak out to Thailand or the Phils while being married? Oh, damn... That's maybe not a good idea
