Happy with that decision? Or wish you could change it?

Im now divorced and although there are times where I reflect upon the good times that were shared, I am happy with my decision. I was in a marriage that was just simply put toxic to my well being. I dealt with verbal/physical abuse as well as a compulsive liar who cheated on me several times. It in turn made me very resentful and just nasty and unhappy. Obviously, no one gets married wanting to end up in divorce but I am happier now that I stood up for myself and put an end to someone's bad treatment and lack of respect towards me. I realized that it was no way to live and that our marriage was not a good example for my daughter as to what a relationship should be. The only things that I regret are that I didn't leave sooner*, that I allowed myself to turn into someone I disliked on account of another's treatment of me, and that I dealt with so much pain just to maintain something that would never work. Being single is lonely at times but it is far better then being with him bc its a lonlier world when you are in a relationship with someone who doesnt even seem to care. I am quite happy with my decision because I have my freedom and dignity back and have hope that I will find love on a level that I deserve. Although I am content now bc I do have love just in a different context of what we are speaking of... and this divorce has taught me to appreciate it...( my love for my family and friends esp my daughter and also love for myself). Take Care:)

I'm divorced and OK with it because if I hadn't left him he wouldn't have realized how bad he was and the decisions he was making were not the best for him our kids or our marriage. He had to hit rock bottom before he could change his life. It is now 6 years later & he is remarried and we are friends. He did a total turn around and he's a better dad now. Which was the most important thing for the kids. I don't plan on getting remarried for many reasons but I do have a live in boyfriend of 3years which I'm fine with other wise I'd stay single.

Married 15 years, 2 kids, thought about divorce more than once, but its worth the work when your kids are happy.

I'm married. Have 3 children. Love them aboce everything.
I'm considering divorce. I feel awful because I don't want to abandon my kids, but I know that I will have almost no chance to be with them (I live in Mexico, thus, divorce litigation is out of the question)

a million. Do you nonetheless love your major different a similar as you probably did once you first were given married? nonetheless sure - a similar - No 2. Do you nonetheless discover your major different sexually attractive and do you've universal sex? sure - not universal adequate for me! 3. Has marriage develop into mundane and do you experience drained of coming living house to a similar individual on a daily basis? Do youthful children kill the romance? Mundane now and again because life is busy and it is problematic to discover time for relaxing it variety of feels. yet NO youthful children have not killed any romance. that is both there or it isn't. 4. Do arguments and previous grudges distance you out of your major different to the point that you want you've been divorced? We seldom argue and that i do not previous grudges - so no. 5. once you bypass out with friends of same sex without your major different, do you consider no matter if to cheat in case you may damage out with it? NO, I seldom bypass out without my husband. i don't think of that is sensible if performed in many cases fantastically. It places human beings in positions the position they make unwise and irrelevant judgements. once you're married you may be with THEM not living a unmarried life with unmarried human beings. bypass out with communities & couples not unmarried friends. don't be fearful of marriage. it would nicely be an impressive project even though it isn't ideal any better than anybody individual is both. do exactly not settle. you want to satisfy females is places the position magnificent females are.... it fairly is problematic lately to boot i imagine. a competent, constructive, healthful, sharing, unselfish relationship could be what you search for and demand in a lengthy time period relationship. do not supply up yet do not supply in or settle both.... i did not marry til i replaced into 30 and characteristic been married 21 yrs now. Marriage is problematic even contained in the finest of circumstances - even though it is fairly well worth the funding if it is the right individual.
