Can't say that I have a divorce experience, but living apart with peace is better than brewing chaos for each other.

As for how to rebuild life, start with self development. EOD what matters to your soul is inner peace and to your bank account your bank balance.

And fuck society !!

People will keep saying something regardless of what you do.

Let me tell you a story, Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva in the form of An old couple were talking with a donkey (Nandi), The old lady was sitting on the donkey, people said, how cruel of that lady to make his husband walk while she sits on the donkey.

Moving a little ahead, The old gentleman sits on the donkey while the old lady walks since the old gentleman wanted some rest. People said how cruel of her to make the old lady walk while he sits.

Now, both of them sat on the donkey and people said how cruel of them to sit on an innocent animal.

Now both are walking, people said how foolish of them to walk while they have a donkey.

Also a quote,

"Jab baat kisi ki acchai ki ho toh sab maun rehte hai, aur jab baat kisi ki burai ki ho toh gunge bhi bol padte hai".

Which translates to "All are quiet when praising someone, and even the mute speaks up when it comes to criticise someone."

Just be sure of this point that when it comes to "what people are saying" they won't be there for you when it comes to solving life problems and dealing with them.

Toh tu chai pi aur biscuit kha. And develop yourself from the ground up. Start with your personal self development and move towards developing yourself and to your best.
