6.Wallow too long in misery
No one is saying you don’t have the right to be sad and hurt, but you cannot allow those negative feelings and emotions to take over completely. Sadness can take you down, but it can also lift you up. Use it to fuel and motivate you and stop feeling sorry for yourself. As one famous saying used to say, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

7.Vent about your divorce on social media too much
If you’ve gone through a bitter divorce, you might feel entitled to vent about your ex and his mishaps. But social media is not the best place to air your dirty laundry for everyone to see. You don’t need to let your high school friends, casual acquaintances and co-workers know all the ugly details of your divorce.
Even if your intentions are to get some things off your chest and maybe earn some sympathy from your social media circle, you’re simply digging your own hole, to hide later when your anger has subsided and you realize how bitter your posts have made you look.
8.Try to turn your friends and family against your ex
Just because you no longer get along with your ex-spouse doesn’t mean your friends and family can’t still maintain a civil relationship. No matter how hard you try to change their feelings about your ex and the way they see him/her, it’s not gonna do you any good in the long run.
It’s not going to change the fact that you’re not together anymore, nor will it make your friends more sympathetic towards you. Remember, you don’t need anyone’s pity and sympathy to move on.
