I was not, but my SO was. He went. He said it was weird, but everyone seemed really happy. (it was for the ex-wife, and she had been a victim of domestic abuse by her ex-hub)
Recently, he went to a cookout for another divorcing couple. (they are still living together, currently, even though it has been a while) The ex-wife brought her boyfriend to the cookout, which was a b-day party for her. This made things really awkward for all of their mutual friends, who were present. The ex-hubby left shortly. Strange things these days... but I'm not going to lie, I've told all my friends that if SO and I break up, I am throwing a HUGE party, since it would be my first time being single since I was 20!  Coming up on 27 now...  It would feel like a divorce party in many respects... we've known each other for 9 years!

My mom had a divorce party and I was really proud of her. It was more of a celebration of her moving on with her life and getting rid of the scumbag known as my father. It was actually funny because so many people came out with the truth of how they hated my dad all those years. It celebrated her strength and was a really happy occasion.

That would be a party throwing occasion for sure. I make exception for those removing themselves from destructive relationships. You must have felt such relief when you were able to ''kick him to the curb''. |

Oh my, this is the worst scenario. I am glad you are out of it now. So yeah!!! Party on!!!! |

I think like alot of other things, it depends on the nature of it.
I haven''t been invited to one, but when I was younger I bartended for one - it was the guy''s party with all his mates, and they were just being obnoxious and the recently divorced guy was cracking onto all the women (incl. me, urgh), so I guess my initial impression of this was pretty negative!  In cases like Linda, I can completely see where it has its place |

Not a divorce party, but after a friend broke up with his crazy vegetarian girlfriend (the crazy and vegetarian being unrelated traits), he threw a big ole' meat party! It was pretty fun.
But even though his ex rubbed me the wrong way a few times, I later ran into her and she was still pretty confused as to why her boyfriend of 1.5 yrs dumped her out of the blue. Made me feel sad. Even if she's a little odd and hard to get along with, she didn't deserve to be dumped with no explanation and then have her dumping partied over by all her ex-boyfriend's friends that she'd hung out with for the last year plus. Would have been different if she'd behaved badly (cheating, abuse) versus just being a person with sometimes poor social skills possibly in need of some counseling. |

Never been invited to one ,and not sure I would want to go to one if it was a marriage that ended because of the two people "just couldn''t get along" after getting married or just couldn''t work things out. Or just got bored of each other.
However I would absolutely go to one if it were a situation where the person had been emotionally/physically abused and finally got out of the situation. That''s a reason to celebrate. |

T-Gal, I think you would have been only 2 years old then. HA, but I love the idea that you would have partied with me. Thank you. |
