The Huffington Post‘s new Divorce channel — helmed by Nora Ephron — paints a bright and shiny view of the end of marriage.
In her letter introducing the section, Arianna Huffington writes about the family vacation she took with her ex-husband and children, saying, “spurred by our mutual devotion to them, we have made a huge effort to work through all the difficulties and be friends. And, little by little, with a lot of hard work, we’ve now gotten there.” She adds, “I’ve always thought that, as a country, we do a lousy job of addressing how we can do divorce differently — and better.” Divorcing better is also the theme of Laurie David’s post on the family dinners she still has with Larry David and their daughters. She writes,
To this day I enjoy the surprised look on people’s faces when they recognize Larry and realize he is having dinner with the kids and me! I’m sure one day I will read a gossip item saying how Larry was out to dinner with a woman who looks just like his ex-wife! Ha. It is his ex!
Heather Sellers is best friends with her ex-husband. Sascha Rothchild calls her first marriage a “learner marriage” — “my second marriage will work because I’m armed with the knowledge gained through my misguided first” (she also says divorced women are great to date because they like sex and won’t give men “pressure to commit,” unlike other loser ladies). The whole section takes a remarkably warm-and-fuzzy view of divorce — apparently it even makes you more dateable!
