What is the effect of divorce on the wife and husband?

Answer 1

Devastating. And even worse for the kids.

Answer 2

It depends on the reason for the divorce. Did they just stop caring for each other? Did one person do something that the other cannot forgive (ie, cheat)? Were they in a long term relationship and thought that getting married was just the next step?

If one person was hurt by the other, then obviously the one that was hurt will have a harder time overcoming the loss of the marriage, while the other one probably would feel relieved that it's over.

Every situation is different and divorce is a result of different sets of circumstances. My parents just couldn't stand each other and that's why they divorced. Both are happier because of it, but I think my mom hurts more because she's alone now and always likes to have people around her, whereas my dad likes to be alone most of the time, so he could really care less.

Answer 3

The effects are far too numerous to mention, as everyones marriage is different.

For my family (including my ex), getting divorced and it's impact was like throwing a huge rock into a pool. The after shock went on for ages. There were children involved so it took even longer. There are soooooo many issues to resolve and come to terms with. Try to stay possitive. Good luck.

Answer 4

it depends on a lot of things ,such as the quality of the relationship prior to the divorce and what the new arrangement does to the financial sitiuation.. basically is a hard time all round. some people know they have made 100% correct decision, and are able to move on with no regrets and having learnt a certain amount. but there are those who are scared of their new freedom and who need a great deal of time to heal ,especially if it was not really their wish to divorce.

Answer 5

Depends on what their problems are. If there is no love and only fighting, I think both are releived. I beleive most divorces are one sided, meaning that both don't want it. In this case, it is very devastating for the one that wants things to work out. I regret the father in most situations cuz they're not allowed to be fathers but every other weekend. I don't beleive that's fair. Visitation should always be Liberal and reasonable for both parents. They are divorcing each other, not the kids.

Answer 6

Terrible effect. On the couple. On the Children. On the two families. On the whole Society. On the Nation. Should be resisted 'At All Costs". If the legislatures can not find a legal way to curb this menace, the Volunteers should.

Answer 7

depends on the situation. I walked out on my ex husband cos he was a serious control freak and i filed for divorce. I would say he was effected more by the divorce cos he lost control of me and the situation!

Every case is different

Answer 8

It devastating for the whole family. Both parties are hurt and have to start over in their lives. It has a terrible effect on the children.

The fact that any long-term relationship ends such as marriage involves sadness and loss for all parties involved.

Answer 9

I think it all depends on the reason for the divorce. Some may hurt, then again it may be for the best. That way each can move on with their lives and get happiness.

Answer 10

everyone is different. Some people are so excited they finally got divorced they shout it out go to a bar and get wild crazy while others stay home under the covers hudled in the fetal position and cry for months.

Answer 11

That all depends if they are no longer in love then they should be okay.Problems start when one partner does not want a divorce.
