While it’s true that you don’t know what you don’t know during a divorce, we often hear a running list of regrets from many now-divorced spouses. They frequently start with cliches like being unable to see the forest for the trees and that hindsight is 20/20. The reality is that there are many things that most people would do differently in any situation—including divorce.
Here, we discuss the most common actions or inactions most would avoid if they knew then what they know now.
What are the Most Common Things Divorcees Would Do Differently?
Divorce, while challenging, can also be a transformative experience. It prompts individuals to reflect on their past choices and consider how they might approach relationships differently, offering a glimmer of hope for a brighter tomorrow.
The list of things they would do differently during their divorce proceedings include, but are not limited to:
- Fighting over minor issues that mean nothing now.
- Failing to understand—or even trying—the other party’s viewpoint.
- Prioritizing personal property over future happiness.
- Not picking their battles more carefully.
- Focusing on insignificant details and avoiding the bigger picture.
- Disparaging the other parent in front of the children.
- Letting anger drive their decisions.
- Failing to keep the children first and foremost in their decisions.
- Not getting professional emotional help for themselves or their children.
- Constantly responding to their spouse’s negative behaviors.
- Singularly focusing on what brought them to divorce instead of letting go of past mistakes.
- Making every conversation with family and friends about their divorce.
- Not learning to maintain a positive perspective about the outcome of the divorce.
- Giving into the other spouse’s demands to finalize the divorce sooner.
- Waiting too long to seek advice from an experienced family law attorney or failing to take their advice.
