Negative Nellie is happy you’re Divorced

Remember you had a friend that was right there as your marriage was falling a part. Now that you are divorced, she seems happy and you are sad, depressed yet you have to pull yourself up and get on with life. Understand that “Negative Nellie” was always there speaking against your relationship and did not want to see you happy. Now that you are unhappy she is happy.

Remember the saying, “Misery loves company” well as you pull yourself and move on as a divorced woman, take caution as to who you surround yourself with. Are you going to surround yourself with people that can help you in the time of the storm or are you going to surround yourself with people that will attempt to keep you down.

This decision is very important because it will influence how you make decisions. Ladies let’s be honest. When we have dear friends, we generally talk with them about many things from family, finances, kids to even work situations. Therefore, even though you are recently divorced or divorced, you will share with them about various situations in your life.

It is not necessary that everyone knows what your financial situation is. As a matter of fact, my rule of thumb has always been thisĀ – if they are not in your household paying the bills, it is not necessary that they know what your income is. Caveat to that is unless you are seeking assistance from a financial planner that is aiding you in long-term wealth.

Otherwise, when Susie comes in out of no-where and begins asking you about your finances or commenting on your home, do not feel obligated by any means to divulge your financial picture. You will save yourself from the headache in the long run, I can assure you.
