Anyone not regret getting divorced?

Question

I'm not talking financial regrets, but I'm curious to know if anyone just "knew" and wasn't too terribly upset w/ the decision to get divorced? Do you think you can just get to the point of being numb, so to speak, and just have the ability to walk away??

Answer 1

I don't regret the marriage. I have two wonderful children that I would have never had any other way. What I do regret is not leaving after my last chlid was born, when I knew the marriage was over. He left one afternoon. I called him four days later to see if we were going through counseling as he said he had wanted the day he left. He said no. (No big surprise.) I said, "Good. You have this long to get your stuff from my house or I'll put it out for you." The stuff was gone. Neither one of us regret getting the divorce. We know we would have never married if we hadn't married quickly. We could have talked ourselves out of it. We were sort of sad when the divorce was filed. I called him and told him I had filed. His voice was sad. I was a little sad. I was sad because I had always thought that some day we could have worked things out. I knew we wouldn't though. I don't think you ever really become numb. The end of a marriage is a big deal no matter why it ended or how. We were married for 8 years by the time the divorce was final. We only claim 7. I don't regret divorcing. I just don't.

Answer 2

Getting divorced was the best thing to happen to me and my ex-wife. Now she can do all the sleeping around that she wants to. I am happily remarried and have moved on with my life, but she has yet to do the same. It is sad to think that someone who is in their late 30's still wants to run around and act like they are still a teenager with no cares in the world. Unfortunately my ex didn't feel the need to grow up and become a responsible adult and I did so now we have gone our separate ways and I am extremely happy for it. I have no regrets about getting divorced from her.

Answer 3

I have regretted getting divorce. It seem like everything in my life went down-hill after my divorce. I left my husband. He was not financially supportive, he stayed out a lot and he brought phone numbers from other women home. I was feed up and left. I felt I should have stuck in their simply because I am a christian woman and I know what the word says. God would have gotton me out of that situation

Answer 4

I've never been divorced but I am my husbands 2nd wife and from what he says he was to the point that he hated his ex. They would sleep next to eachother and never have sex. They would go for days without speaking, but they were in the same house. He said he go to that point and was happy to have her out of his life - so yeah it can happen. And that's exactly what he did - went and filed for a divorce and never looked back.

Answer 5

Ummm, I think it's normal to regret having married after a divorce.

Answer 6

Yes you can get to the point of being numb and walk away from it without caring anymore. With my ex-husband it was so easy because every time I got around him I got sick- I threw up. I couldn't be in the same room with him without throwing up- it was so easy to walk away. I was past the point of caring.

Answer 7

I never regret getting divorced, It's the best thing I've ever done for myself and my son. I regret, however, not have done it sooner.

Good luck
