👍 Why Is National Ex-Spouse Day Important

When you bring up their ex-spouse, many people turn into Bitter Bettys (or Bobs). But, as we often say, this is not the day to judge them (or your relationship). Remember why you walked down the aisle at your big wedding—or that Las Vegas drive-thru? Consider the joyful times that made you laugh and develop together.

What was your ex-spouse’s most vexing habit?(Relax; we don’t have much time here.) From chewing gum to toilet hygiene, it’s a reason to rejoice that you no longer have to deal with them. But, because today is supposedly a joyful occasion, we’re going to make you balance each bad idea with a pleasant one.

If you’re still in a lovely marriage (or on your fifth), there are still ways to celebrate National Ex-Wife Day. Consider what makes your relationship work and what you appreciate most about that particular someone. If you’re unhappy in your marriage, today is a good day to consider making them your (fifth) ex-spouse. We’re not encouraging; we’re simply stating the obvious.

🙂 How To Observe National Ex-Spouse Day

⚡ One (wo)man’s junk is another (wo)man’s treasure
Do you still have some items that remind you of your ex? You can take them and donate them to a charity, or if that seems like too much effort, gather them and have a bonfire. We understand that National Ex-Spouse Day is meant to be a joyful celebration, but it’s unlikely that anyone would feel sad at a bonfire.

⚡ Make it all about you!
For those who have recently gone through a divorce, today presents a great opportunity to prioritize self-care. Being single means you have the freedom to pursue hobbies and interests without having to consider other people’s opinions. Take some time to create a list of five goals that you want to accomplish as an individual. Instead of feeling down or relying on alcohol, this will give you a sense of purpose and help you move forward.

⚡ Spend time with your kids
Today is a great day to show your gratitude and affection towards those you have worked together with, celebrating the positive outcomes of your collaboration. Treat them to ice cream and enjoy their laughter or even their complaints. As you sit there, you can’t help but smile, realizing that they have experienced both your best qualities and the not-so-great qualities inherited from your ex.
