As divorce becomes increasingly more common in the UK, and indeed all over the world, it’s only fair that we look at the ways being divorced is better than being married. Let’s face it, anyone who has gotten divorced feels a lot better for it, if not a lot poorer.

So, here are five ways being divorced is better than being married.

1. More sex. Getting married is a sure fire way to kill off your sex life, period. When you’re divorced you’re free to pursue other avenues of interest.
2. You can leave the toilet seat up.
3. You can piss on the aforementioned toilet seat without fear of recriminations.
4. It’s cheaper. Yes, admittedly the act of getting divorced will cost you plenty, but once you are free of the evil in your life you’ll no longer be forking out for shoes, handbags, magazines, holidays in the sun and other non essentials, leaving you more money for beer and takeaway curry.
5. Your car is finally safe from crashes… depending on your own personal driving style of course ;).
