‘I Feel Guilty’ — Women Share The Unique Pain Of Divorcing ‘The Good Guy’ Who’s Just Not Good For Them

Posted On: February 02, 2026

But divorcing "the good guy" comes with a whole different kind of pain because there's usually no dramatic betrayal. On the outside, he looks like the exact partner that you should feel grateful for, but the truth is, being good and kind isn't always the same as being compatible.

How To Financially Prepare For Divorce

Posted On: January 26, 2026

For many people, a new year offers an invitation to make some major changes. Those may be smaller resolutions, such as starting a new exercise routine or picking up a new hobby. They can also be more holistic life reassessments, including of a marriage — especially on the heels of the often hectic and at times stressful holiday season.

Sadly, if not surprisingly, filings tend to go up in January after the holidays are done. This ushers in the start of what is dubbed “divorce season,” building to historical filing peaks in March and August.

While undoubtedly emotional, divorce does not have to be financially devastating. If you are among those contemplating this life change, taking some time to prepare can make all the difference.

Avoid These Mistakes When Getting Divorced Over 50

Posted On: December 19, 2025

Meryl Streep and Don Gummer, Bill and Melinda Gates, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. What do these famous couples have in common? They all divorced after lengthy marriages, and all were in their 50s (or older) when they split.
