A Divorcee’s Empirical (and Slightly Irreverent) “What’s Next” Guide to Life after Marriage Just about everything about divorce sucks. It drains your time, money, and sometimes your will to live. We understand; we’ve both been divorced and are now remarried—to each other. This book isn’t about the divorce itself (which stinks); it’s about rebuilding your life afterward (which doesn’t have to). Using the latest scientific research, a bit of tough love, and a questionable sense of humor, psychologists Erica Slotter, PhD, and Patrick Markey, PhD, will guide you through post-divorce relationships with yourself, your kids, and even your ex. They’ll support you as you navigate the complicated, exciting, and sometimes terrifying world of dating and sex as a newly single person, helping you (hopefully) find new love. Learn about self-care in the post-divorce haze, rediscovering the newly single you, being nice(ish) to your ex, helping your kids through the chaos, surviving awkward first dates, and navigating your newfound sexy time. Plus, tips on divorce-proofing your next marriage. Welcome to the world of being newly unwed—it's good, bad, and ridiculous, so pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink (or three), and let’s do this sh*t.
