How can a unhappy married woman leave her husband and start over with nothing?

Answer 1

It would be very difficult, but if that is really what you want to do you can make it happen.

Answer 2

There are several issues here, such as do you have children?, do you own your house together? for instance. It is never to late to get out of an unhappy marriage, and you dont necessarily have to leave with nothing. If your husband has done something to you or your children that is really bad or even against the law, then you have rights. If this is the case, then you have the right to remain in your home, and he will have to leave. If you have children, then you have the right to see that they are protected, and remain in your home with you. If your husband hasnt done anything to you that would warant his removal from the house, then if you can sit it out, until the divorce is finalised and you have got your equal share of any assets, then that might be a reasonable option to take. If you feel that you cant do any of the above, there are womans refuges, and you can find out about these from the local citizens advice bureau. The important thing here is to protect yourself and any children that you may have. Secondry to this is that you have rights, by marriage, to anything that you have accumulated within your marriage, so anything that you have bought together in the marriage, you both own, this includes your house. I would advise that you go and see a solicitor befor making any rash decisions, unless you are in danger, then you must seek refuge through any meens that you can find. If you are not working, when you leave, you will be entitled to claim some form of financial assistance, like income support, and this will help you with renting a flat, as you would then be entitled to housing benefit.
To get all the advice that you need, you can contact these people from any telephone directory....
Samaritans.....for someone to confide in.
Solicitor.....for your legal rights
Citizens advice bureau.....Legal advice, refuges, general advice
Local council......Housing and housing benefits
DWP or job center.....for income support
GP and health visitor.....for moral support and depression if you have it.
I hope this helps you, and i wish you luck.

IF you are unhappy-the best decision is to move on. Takes more courage and much more respect from others by you making this choice than staying with someone and being unhappy. You need to take care of yourself. Do you have children? Do you work? It will be hard for a while and maybe Ramen Noodles each night but know that things will get better. Just when you thing the sun is not shining for you. Your day will come and you will meet someone who will make you smile and happy.

If u are unhappy, try to remember the romantic thing that u ve already do with your Husband. remember the first meet, funny moment, etc. If u are unhappy then try to happy. Love him again... try to make good things to him. don't give up. Marreage is a sacred thing in the world. Now u can imagine what BEST THING in your Husband. Try to search 10 things good of your husband. See.... it's ur beloved husband. Come on, love him again. tell him, u love him. Care for him, make him breakfast. tell him that u appreaciate what he had done for u. believe me, u will get a new life then. good luck. God Bless U.
But if u ve no choice and already divorced. convinced ur self it is the best thing u can do. Life will go on. Find new friend , new environtment. and be a happy girl. the matter is convince yourself it's the best decision to leave ur husband. Ok ?

Answer 5

Save every penny so you can get a place and then pack your stuff and move out. Mostly, what you'll need is a good support group, but keep in mind that every separation/divorce is different and ultimately you'll have to live with the decisions you make, so be wary of the advice of others, they mean well, but they really can't know.

I went through all of this four years ago and it was the hardest thing I had to deal with (emotionally and financially) but now I own my own place.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

It may be one of the hardest things you've ever done but you can do it! I left an abusive marriage a little over a year ago, he cleaned out the bank accounts thinking that leaving me with three kids and not a single cent to my name would bring me back but it didn't. I had a wonderful friend who I stayed with. I got a job, got an apartment, applied for legal aid, got the ex out of the house and moved back in. Cleaned up my credit, filed for divorce and paid for it myself and just bought a new house of my very own for my children and me. All that I did in one year and when I left I had nothing but my kids and my clothes on my back, to me my only choice at that time was to do it or die trying. I worked my butt off and now, he's the one sitting back looking stupid, he doesn't have his wife, his children, his job, a house or a car.

Answer 7

You can do it, all divoced women did it, so can you.

You have to get your finances together first. Get a job if you don;t already have one. Find and affordable place to live for you and your kids (if any) or try going back home for a little while while you get back on you feet.

It's not impossible, but it will take a lot of planning, determination and courage. You will ahve to cut back a lot on your expenses but at the endm your happiness and peace of mind is worth it.

Consult a lawyer . That is the first step.

Good luck

Answer 8

Frankly, I do not know. But I believe that you can choose to be happy and remain married. Try being positive about marriage, your contribution to happiness will infect your partner. I work with these ten rules Try them or make your own. Choose to be good, happy, positive etc.
1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK:
If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind...I will not respond in a like manner.
2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY "ENEMY":
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand the "enemy" could be a family member.
3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY:
I will carefully choose and guard my words
4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE:
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.
5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE:
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.
6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE, BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY:
7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE TREATED: I will practice the golden rule - "Do unto others as I would have them do unto me" - with everyone I encounter.
8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE I DISCOURAGED: My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling life.
9. TODAY I WILL NUTURE MY BODY:
I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body.
10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLUY:
I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place
(at some point during the day) and listen to God's voice!

Good luck and God Bless you

Answer 9

Just do it! If you are really unhappy that is your motivation to get out and begin to rebuild your life. Stay with a friend or family member until you get on your feet. If you really want it you will find a way. Good luck.

Answer 10

It depends on your age and what you mean by nothing. If you are in your forties and don't have a job, it would be hard to get one. If you can get a job that is a good start. If you really have not much money, then of course you can't leave him and hope to survive out there alone. Probably it is better to stick it out with him and hope to inherit his assets when/if his death precedes yours.

Answer 11

Its hard but anyone can do it if they really want to. But if you are already unhappy how much worest could it be. As long as you save some $$$$$ to get you in a rental house or apartment or if you can stay with someone else, everything will fall in place.
