Nearly 30 years ago I got married - but 12 years later we split up. However it took us around eight years to finally fill in the divorce papers. We met up at a Thai restaurant halfway between our two homes and celebrated the form filling with delicious curries and a bottle of wine. I blame the wine on the fact we had to do this THREE times before we managed to tick all the boxes correctly! However they were certainly enjoyable evenings and the location turned out to be quite significant as my ex went on to marry a lovely Thai girl who is happy to share her culinary secrets with me - which saves on Thai restaurants! Another great way that helps a couple to move on after a divorce is with a Divorce Ceremony - a celebration of what was good during the marriage and a way to minimise animosity, helping ensure continued closeness between the couple, their children, family and friends. Anything that helps during the difficult divorce process is surely food for thought?
