Divorce Selfies on The Rise

The common perception about divorce is that the divorcees are seething and cutthroat, unable to wait for the time when they can finally “stick it” to their spouse. While there is some of that, there are many more cases where the divorce is taking place because the two people just fell out of love. They’re still friends, or at least amicable toward each other, but time just ran out on their romantic adventure.

Which is why we find these divorce selfies so amazing. Now a bonified trend on social media, divorce selfies are pictures of smiling ex-couples who either recently got divorced or are literally walking out of the courthouse after splitting. Whether it’s on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, #divorceselfies is definitely a trend that piqued our interest — good for them!

Got a #divorce today. Live tweeted about it, too, @hthrhllywd. So modern. Forever wasn't as long as we had anticipated but it was a beautiful trip we took. I think this is what unconditional love looks like. It didn't work for us but we are still hopeless romantics and I wouldn't change a thing. I trained him super well, but sorry ladies, he's already taken. As for me, I'm going cat shopping. #lessonsinlove #divorceselfies #transformationtuesday #divorceselfie #happilydivorced #newnormal #ontheprowl #canwestillbefriends #idontevenlikecats
