I was unhappily married. Then I was happily separated for about 2 years. During that time, I was happily dating and enjoying my newfound freedom. Then I was happily divorced.
Now I'm happily engaged, three years out from my separation. I've been dating the same girl for two years, after kinda-sorta dating several others before. My ex is remarried and has a baby (she moves fast!), and we mostly get along. My two kids are doing fine, and I see them almost enough.
With the time I didn't spend fighting with my ex, I was able to do lots of things I hadn't been able to before. I now own my own business and I'm catching up on the bills I had from my marriage, separation, and divorce.
I'm much better off now. There's no point in staying in an unhappy marriage, especially if there are kids who will be harmed by being around conflict or violence. What matters is the quality of your relationships, not the label you put on them (i.e. "wife").

Oh yes! I'm very happily divorced. I graduated college, have good friends, and now very little stress in my life. I do what I want, when I want and I like living alone. I'm set!

I am and its been 3-4 years now and this was from a 20+ year marriage...don't get me wrong I miss the good ole days but the fact that has allowed me to be happy is that those days are gone and if I thought their could have been more of them by staying in the marriage I would have.....I made the right decision.

Yes and no. We are still only separated, in the process of making some changes to the papers and file for divorce but otherwise yes I am.

I am not divorced but separated now for 9 months. We were married for 12yrs. Am I happy? No, but I know it is for the best. I love my wife very much and sometimes wish she would come back. She left me and our son. It is very lonely now. You get used to having someone around for 12yrs and suddenly they are gone and with someone else. You experience lots of different feelings. Insecurity, lonliness, freedom, sadness, deseration. Honestly I would have to say that I am very unhappy even though I know that I am better off without her.

No, I still miss her and we have been divorced for 6 years. Don't get divorced until you can walk away without feeling angry or happy....you can just walk away. Until you reach that point, you are not ready to get divorced.
