As a humor writer by trade, yes, I do use it to tamp down and dilute the horrific pain!
Like when I posted "Beard for Sale: Worn for 12 years but like new." Or it was something along those lines. I wanted to post it on Facebook, but thought better about it. So I posted it here. Hope you all are doing OK. I made up this quote that will become my new mantra: "There is nothing more powerful than a woman with options." Or in Rob and Phoenix and others' cases, a man with options.

I use humour all the time.

When someone tries to laugh at me for a mistake I say "no wonder she left me"

When someone acts sorry for themselves about doing something dumb "Oh please, I married a lesbian".

My ex and I had one "fatal similarity" - we both liked women. 

We always inject humour into every situation (you'd go crazy if you didn't!)

Even in the very early days, while STBX was still living in the house and my son was visiting, he was jokingly expecting me to clear away after him and I told him there isn't a fairy living here anymore (growing up the kids used to refer to the fairy doing their laundry, clearing the counter tops etc!!)

"Except ME" comes from the room my STBX was sitting in!

There are so many times with friends we have to laugh at it, I laugh when I'm nervous anyway. That's how I deal with stuff in general be it funny or not!

"There is nothing more powerful than a woman (or man) with options."

I absolutely LOVE this. Thank you for the reminder this morning. Sometimes I get stuck playing small and I forget that I always have options.
