How to Love Your Ex
11 years ago today, I was getting ready to walk down the aisle with my now ex-husband.
Yes, we had a Valentine’s Day wedding. (Note for anyone considering it: flowers are really expensive when you get married on V-Day!)
Since our wedding day, we’ve had two kids and been through a VERY rough divorce.
Today, we are once again living together in the same house and co-parenting our kids. This time as great friends. Maybe better friends than we ever were when we were dating or married.
The Business of Blogging (and a Happy Birthday to My Ex)
Before I get started with this post, can I just say – HI! Ah, it feels so good to be back here.
I really love when I can write 2-3 times a week. But, with the money map launch (which we sold out with 100 attendees, so happy!) and finalizing LIFT (so, so, so close to launching), it just hasn’t been possible to do everything.
So, writing on the blog is what doesn’t get done. And believe me, my kids are really happy about that because it means I didn’t choose my blog over them.
Yes, I pay alimony to my husband (or as it’s being called “manimony”)
I’ve been busting my butt to get publicity for my book and my free website where parents can name legal guardians for their kids. I’ve actually gotten quite a bit (even appearing on the Today Show and View From the Bay!) but I’ve had to work for every bit of it.
Then, I get quoted in an article about women who pay their ex-husband’s alimony and all the sudden I’ve got all the national networks beating down my door (okay, not quite all of them and not quite beating down my door, but you get the point).
