divorce

2020 was one hell of a sh*t show, and we're glad to see the back of it. But when one door closes, another door opens, and 2021 has opened with a bombshell we never saw coming: Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are getting divorced. Yes, you read that correctly; the end of the Kimye empire has begun. Yesterday, Page Six reported their "imminent" divorce, and although Kimye might be dead, a whole bunch of hilarious tweets about it has been born. Here are some of Twitter's funniest responses to the news, and by the looks of it, we'll be watching season 2020 of KUWTK: Divorce Edition pretty soon.

Divorce lawyers see the ugly side of love—the breakdowns in communication, the anger, and the resentment. Divorces can seriously bring out the nasty and petty sides of people. These divorce lawyers reveal the evilest, funniest and dumbest ways that spouses tried screwing the other over. From splitting everything physically down the middle to figuring out how to educate a shared parrot, they genuinely have seen it all when it comes to love, or the lack thereof.

A cake is the ultimate celebratory accessory. Whether it's a birthday cake, a wedding cake, or a graduation cake, every occasion worth celebrating is made better when there's a show-stopping cake to cut. And now, add to that list, divorce cakes. Because with 50% of marriages ending in divorce, a divorce cake is simply the follow-up cake for your wedding cakes. Because leaving a marriage that isn't right is something worth celebrating, and nothing says "Bye Felicia" better than an utterly fabulous divorce cake. Here are some of the more creative ones we've seen!

Ah, that utterly relatable moment we've all had of standing in front of the mirror, contemplating whether we have the energy or motivation to get a little more in shape. Because sitting next to the same guy on the sofa for 20 years can take its toll on a woman. On the one hand, he's driving you crazy; someone new and exciting would be nice. Perhaps someone who doesn't expect you to pick up their socks from the floor or who doesn't snore like a rhinoceros every. Single. Damn. Night!

On the other hand, do you have the energy and effort it would take to get naked for another man? Nah, probably not. Maybe in another lifetime. Artist, Daniella London Dekel has captured that sweet moment of realization in this short, relatable, and funny comic.

Sometimes in life, you get faced with questions for which there are no right answers. These impossible hypotheticals force you between a rock and a hard place and can make life pretty awkward. For example, when your husband asks you if you'd stay married to him if he got a sex change. I mean, what does one even say to that? If you stay with him, you're forced to stay married to someone you're no longer attracted to. If you bail, then is it really true love?

I know I'd be out, but if you'd stay with him, props to you, my friend, because that is some deeply serious love and commitment. One woman posted her predicament on the subreddit Am I The A-Hole to see how other people would react to her awkward position. The majority of users reassured her that she wasn't the a**hole, saying that her husband was either about to come out as trans or was a highly manipulative individual. Read through her predicament and then see if you agree with the comments.

Typically, your wedding has a reputation for being the happiest day of your life. That is until the divorce party comes along, which, according to these pictures, looks like way more fun. These people would argue that divorce days trump wedding days when it comes to celebrating, and although divorce is a sad thing, these cars would disagree. Hey, if a divorce gets you out of a miserable relationship, then do what you have to do.

A big part of marriage, and relationships in general, is being able to make compromises for the other person. The mutual love and respect you have for your partner is the glue that holds you together and helps you get through those tricky give-and-take moments in your relationship. But sometimes things aren't so straight forward, and it's not clear who should give and who should take. One woman posted on the popular AITA thread on Reddit, wondering if she was the a**hole for asking her husband to give up his dream job because it would risk her career. At first glance, you might think so, because whose job comes first; hers or his? But as she explains the situation, it becomes apparent that he was prepared to sabotage her very high-paying niche career for a job that paid less than half her salary, and that he applied for behind her back. Everyone jumped to her defense, explaining very clearly how she is not the a**hole and that she should proceed with divorce proceedings, as advised by her company. Read through her post and the comments below and decide for yourself who is in the wrong. Although it's pretty clear what the answer is.

James McMinn is a divorce attorney based out of North Carolina. But unlike most lawyers, James has a pretty wicked sense of humor. His Facebook marketing might just be the most genius technique we've ever seen. 

Divorce may be a difficult pill to swallow, but it brings closure to a failed marriage. Not everyone spends month weeping after their divorce; some people celebrate their freedom with divorce parties and hilarious customized cakes. 

When Dan Pearce — who has been divorced twice — was asked to give his best marriage advice to his little sister on the eve of her wedding he realized he doesn't have any. He also realized though that he has "plenty of 'keep your marriage from ending' advice"  and that it "might be almost as good". 

And so, that night, he sat down and wrote out his "advice list for my little sister -  You know… things I wish I would have known or done differently so that I didn't end up divorced (twice)". 

And it's GREAT.
