When Your Ex Moves on Immediately with Jackie Pilossoph of Divorced Girl Smiling on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #301

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie, Esq. welcomes the Founder of Divorced Girl Smiling, Jackie Pilossoph, to talk about how to cope when your ex moves on in a hot minute. 

In this episode, Susan and Jackie discuss what happens (and how to cope) when your ex moves on immediately following the divorce. It could be a shock or devastating, even if you were the one who initiated the divorce. 

Jackie Pilossoph is the creator and editor-in-chief of Divorced Girl Smiling, celebrating its 10th anniversary, which comprises a website, podcast, mobile app, and a list of divorce professionals you can trust! A former broadcast news journalist and features reporter for the Chicago Tribune, Pilossoph was also the author of Love Essentially, her weekly column in the Chicago Tribune. 

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

• You’re still allowed to grieve, even if you wanted the divorce
• Everyone deals with and grieves divorce differently
• There are various reasons why an ex may move on quickly 
• You don’t give yourself a chance to heal or own your part of things by putting a bandaid over it with a new relationship
• The work you do following divorce helps you to determine what you do or don’t want in a relationship
• When your ex immediately moves in with the person they were having an affair with
• What do you need to be happy? Focus on you.
