How many people here have left a crappy marriage?

Question

bitten the bullet and gone it alone, only to discover they were better off with the loser they left in the first place? Just curious.

Senor Swine, it's not my fault you've got a small todger is it? Stop showing off.

Answer 1

I can't imagine being better off in a bad relationship, than alone...unless someone is really needy and unwilling to do what it takes to stand on their own 2 feet, I don't see how anyone could be worse off single...

When I left my 2nd husband I told myself I'd rather be single the rest of my life, than in a relationship and be unhappy...I decide if I'm going to be happy or not...I make my life what I want it to be (good or bad)...

I've never regretted that decision...and 10 yrs later, and still single, I know I did the right thing...

Answer 2

Not me, I lasted 24 years the first time around. Tried the last three of it to make it work, but, it didn't. I ended up single for a short time and a girl I dated right after high school popped into my life and now, we are married, happy, and enjoying life.

Staying in a bad relationship isn't the answer, cause it only gets worse. when two people are not compatible, like my first wife and I, change is the cure.

I am an old romantic type person. I like dinner dates, holding hands, even walking thru Walmart. I Love going on picnics, walking in the park, camping, and all the neat things two people do when they are young and in Love. You can still be Young at heart and in Love over 40.

If you find out the person you left was a better deal, then you need to dig deeper and find out why you two were having issues in the first place. OLD saying, where there is smoke, there is fire. Well, where two people cant get along, there is a cause for that effect. Until you find it and fix it, it can happen again.

Answer 3

I bit the bullet and I never felt like I was worst off without him. You must not of had a very good reason for leaving to start with. I was never so happy when the judge said.divorce granted. I could after work and do whatever I wanted, no more black eyes
that I had run into a cabinet door. No more being put down, found the love of my life I'm am happy he is no more. How great life can be with a person that treat like a woman not a child. GLORY, GLORY

Answer 4

Marriage is 50% of the time staying together for the sake of the kids and the other 50% of the time being glad that you did. There are peaks and very low valleys. There is hate and there is love and it is all mixed up together. Those who have more love than hate, more hills than valleys are the ones that make it.

I believe strongly in commitment to the family that one creates by marriage, but some are too terrible to stay committed to. Yes, I left a rotten marriage 40 years ago and thank God every day that I did. I waited until I found the right person --for me-- to try it again.

Answer 5

I left an abusive marriage with two kids and I have never regretted that decision. It was the single best decision that I made in my life and now I have found happiness with a wonderful man and step-father to my boys. I am much happier now, and learned a lot when I was on my own. There is no reason to 'settle' for living in a loveless and emotionally draining relationship.

Answer 6

I was the "loser that was left" and now that she sees me with a young sexy lady that treats me like a king, she realizes that she made a fatal error. Especially when my kids talk about all the great things we do together. She realized that after dating all these wonderful single men, that what she had was actually better than what she faces now! How's that for poetry! Nice guys finish last but at least we finish!

Answer 7

I left a crappy marriage with 3 small children and never looked back. You are never better off with a Loser.

Answer 8

Nope I have left a crappy marriage, but have found the most wonderful man. The one I have been waiting for all my life. See there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Answer 9

i left a crappy marriage - stayed in it for too long actually - doubt i will ever want to go back to the loser - he asks me practically everyday to take him back, but i've moved on - sold the house, got my own place, the kids don't want to see him - oh well - he should have been better to me all those years when i stayed and tried to make it work - my only regret is all the years i wasted with him - can't get those years back.
