Divorced? Divorcing? Hoping to? We’ve Got Your Card!

Check out the “new face of divorce.” FirstWivesWorld.com aspires to be the go-to social network for divorcees — or women that expect to be divorced soon.

The site is chock-full of social media distraction, like blogs and videos from other casualties of wedlock. And like jilted partners trying with vigor to keep their outlooks sunny-side-up, desperately gleeful headlines shout, “A Single, Liberating Act: Reclaiming My Maiden Name” and “Divorce is the Best Thing Ever, Says Kate Hudson”!

But there are also practical lessons, like an old-fashioned schooling on the meaning of “honeytrap” and — finally! — a near-solid response to that irresistible question: do men have an infidelity gene? (Apparently some do.)

It’s like the ’50s! 2.0. With the most crucial difference being that while you drink alone, your charmingly redecorated home will ring with the slightly-delayed warmth and pixellated cheer of spankin’ new digital chums.

Still perplexed? See video tutorial on why First Wives World exists.

“At least it’s not worse” is meant as comfort, but psychologists who study what’s become known as toxic positivity have found that skipping straight to the silver lining, before someone’s felt heard, tends to make them talk less about what’s actually bothering them, not more.
