Divorced Stories
One true story about the end of a marriage, every week. Told without names, chosen and edited by a person.
The first story is being chosen now.
We have just opened the doors, and we are reading every submission. The first Story of the Week will appear right here. It could be yours.
Three ways to tell it
The full story
Write it the way you would tell a friend who is about to go through it. Any length. One is chosen each week as the Story of the Week.
The short story
A whole divorce in under 100 words. One moment, one object, one sentence someone said. Small stories carry a lot.
One thing I wish I had known
A single sentence for the person who is where you once were. The fastest way to help someone else.
How we keep it safe
No account, no name
You do not sign up for anything. An email address is optional, and only used if we have a question about your story.
Details are changed
To protect the people in these stories, we change or remove identifying details before publishing. That includes names, places, employers, dates, and other specifics. Stories may also be edited for length and clarity.
A person reads every one
Nothing publishes automatically. There is no comment section, so nobody can argue with your story.
