After three decades of marriage, Bernadette wasn’t exactly blindsided when Rodney asked for a divorce. Things had been rocky for awhile, but she always assumed they’d live the rest of their lives “unhappily ever after.” Now Bernadette is facing an uncertain future, wondering how she’s going to navigate her new life socially, emotionally, and financially. On this episode of How To!, we bring on <a href="http://drelizabethcohen.com/">Dr. Elizabeth Cohen</a>, author of <a href="http://drelizabethcohen.com/book/">Light on the Other Side Of Divorce: Discovering the New You</a>, and host of the podcast <a href="http://drelizabethcohen.com/podcast/">The Divorce Doctor</a>. She helps Bernadette formulate a plan for keeping things civil, and handling everything from personal finances to awkward inquiries from well-meaning friends. If you liked this episode, check out: “<a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2020/12/how-to-save-your-marriage">How To Save Your Marriage</a>,” “<a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2021/05/how-to-stop-fighting-with-your-partner">How To Have a Fight That Actually Helps Your Relationship</a>,” and “<a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2021/08/how-to-heal-a-broken-relationship-part-one">How To Reconnect With Your Kid After a Nasty Divorce</a>.”Do you have a question without an answer?
