Question

Answer 1

Wow you sound happy HI IM NOT MARRIED! lol it's easy and fun with alot more freedom

Answer 2

You got friends dontcha? You won't be alone. As far as living alone, it takes a little time to get used to, but it's great afterwards. No one to answer to but yourself. No one to blame if the dishes aren't done or the bed made. It's all about you. And divorce doesn't mean not marrying again. Not loving again. It means freedom. I am recently divorced and it's nice. I don't have to make compromises with my life to do what I want to do. When I was married, I did because I loved my wife. No resentment, just disappointment. But being on my own is a blessing.
Enjoy it.

Answer 3

I seperated 1 1/2 years ago. The first couple of weeks were rough after being together 13 years, but now I am extremely happy living by myself. This is not to be confused with being alone. I have a lot of friends, work, school....The secret is to be comfortable within yourself. If you are mature you will find that you can be your own best friend.

Answer 4

You should try to have a very active life that focuses on making you a better person. I'ts hard to do if you have kids, because the kids take up so much of your time. If not, you should join a gym, take classes, hang out with other single friends, become more involved in your church an on your job, join a book club, move to a new neighborhood. The more you do, the less you'll miss him and the more likely that you'll meet someone new that you have more in common with.

Answer 5

What it's like depends on your perspective. My last marriage was so chaotic and emotionally abusive that getting out and living alone was a peaceful blessing.

If you don't have many friends or children, then it can be very lonely, but after a breakup it's best to spend sometime alone working on yourself. Ask yourself why your marriage ended and what you may have done to contribute to the divorce - then work on improving those things.

Answer 6

Friends and family become more important. Lots more going out and having fun with friends however that hardest part is finding another partner when you start to miss the company.

I would say you should only divorce if you have exhausted all ways of fixing the relationship otherwise you may regret it later.

Answer 7

Been there done that.
True it seems weird at first (being alone) but it will quickly pass
do to the fact that you will no longer be stressed out by the person that you divorced. There is a reason that you want a divorce. you have to weigh out the pros & cons and go from there.
I'm happy that I got my divorce!!
GOOD LUCK in your choice.

Answer 8

hi, well lets say its an exciting and mysterious jounery, because the person you are today will not be the one that exists after the divorce is started. its a period of time where you will rediscover who and what you are. there will be periods of depression, extreme happiness , and fears of the unknown, Parts of you that have been held back because of your relationship will spring forth with such gusto that it may seem to overwhelm you, it did for me. you may find yourself doing and considering things you could never have imagined yourself doing, its a period in your life when your emotional and spiritual growth will seem to have no end

Answer 9

well it depends on why you leaving. i believe you will miss the good things in your husband, even if you hate him now, eventually you will get over it (and you will, no matter how hopeless it seems now) you'll start to think, you'll meet other men, and there will always be that something they dont have that you loved about your husband, but if it was really bad (your relationship) , time will heal you. good luck, its so terrible to have to go through something like that...

Answer 10

it will take you some time getting used to to live alone again . everybody goes through a rough period when adjusting. it feels nice sometimes to be alone ,but can get lonely too .
