Review of Stupid Divorce
[Following is a volunteer review of "Stupid Divorce" by Vincent Fudge II.]
One of the most painful experiences a person can go through in their life is when a relationship or a marriage ends. Both of the individuals go through too many extreme tests and, their entire being and beliefs are questioned. Divorce is a process that has the tendency to ruin so many things for a family and its members. Stupid Divorceby Vincent Fudge II is an attempt at making other people learn from experiences that the author represents in the book. The content contains both the personal and the legal journey.
The book unfolds through the eyes of Edward, who takes us on the journey of his divorce. Right in the beginning, Edward admits that his marriage to Ebony was quite toxic. Edward takes us through his confusions and beliefs. He focuses on the fact that the biggest thing that worked as an obstacle for him was the failure of acceptance. He, at any point, wasn’t ready to accept the way his marriage was ending. Edward was holding on to things he shouldn’t have. The act of letting go requires a lot of courage, which was lacking in Edward. He defined the divorce as “STUPID.” Stupid stood for selfish, time-consuming, unnerving, painful, inconsiderate and, debt-inducing. This was a great way to define what Edward was feeling about the divorce. The author deeply explored all these aspects and gave a clearer understanding of all these parts of a divorce. Finally, after trying every marriage saving method and putting in all the efforts, they divorced. Apart from the personal struggle and emotional turmoil, the legal aspect of the divorce was thoroughly explained. It laid out the complications and processes that happen while going through the divorce in a way that an average person would find easy to comprehend.
I liked how the book showed that sometimes when people grow, they grow apart. It’s very important for people to understand that as time goes by, two people who used to be in a relationship might not want to be anymore. It's necessary to handle our personal struggles and also let our partners in while sharing everything. Marriages require good communication, and when you distance yourself from your partner over personal issues, then it imbalances certain trust. A partner sticks through your best and worst days, so it's important to share everything you go through, especially the bad parts. I really liked how Edward admitted his shortcomings and came to terms with them. I learnt how to accept things as they come from this book. It's necessary to show acceptance in our life because that's how we come to terms with many external factors. I agreed with the part where Edward and Ebony tried many things to make their relationship work because we should end something only when we’ve given our best and with no regrets.
There is nothing I dislike in the book. It has the potential to get you through many aspects of divorce. We always learn better from the mistakes of other people and this book gives that opportunity.
I rate this book four out of four stars. I really found it well-compiled and exceptionally well-edited. It discusses the legal and emotional sides of a divorce in a way that can completely help a person who is going through the same thing.
I recommend this book to people who want to understand the reality of the legal side of divorce since it’s very complicated and needs a thorough understanding. This book can provide emotional support to people who are looking for it. It gives clarification on one’s feelings and other divorce issues. If someone’s going through a divorce and thinking about it, then this book can totally help them.
