Welcome to Living in 3-D's handy resource for new subscribers and long-timers alike of all my divorce-themed essays plus other great resources from around Substack and elsewhere.
What a great list of resources. Thank you for putting this together. I've read all of your essays and now I'm going to check out some of the other writers you recommended.
Here are my recommendations: "Liars" by Sarah Manguso, and "Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life" by Tracy Schorn. I haven't finished the former but the storyline resonates. The latter helped me rebuild my life after sexual betrayal.
I also want to add a general note here about divorce. I was divorced once, and later broke up with a partner whom I thought would be my partner for the rest of my life. But because we were never married, I can't call myself "divorced." I feel like society does not recognize this kind of breakup because there isn't a piece of paper to tear up. However, the breakage of the emotional bond can be as painful as that of a divorce. Just want to put it out there in case others in a similar situation also feel unrecognized or diminished among all the discussions about divorce.
Can’t wait to read both! Will add to my Compendium once I do💔
I am reading Splinters right now. Sooooo good. I recently finished Liars. Never have I ever read a book faster.
Such a tremendous resource you’ve crafted for your readers!
Enjoy the Camino!
Camino amazing so far! Tired muscles every day after 20-22km of walking but an adventure of a lifetime and so special to share it with my daughter
Phenomenal list of essays, articles and resources. Thank you, Amy!
Glad you found it of value😀

Such good additions & a great point!
As someone who is currently navigating the tough decision of ending a 36 year marriage these links will be very helpful. Thanks 🙏
I am so glad it reaches you at the time you need it, Peter.
