It was a one time deal breaker for me... He abandoned us within the first six months of marriage to go and gamble in Vegas with no intent of ever coming back. I finally divorced him after about 2 years or so and got remarried to a wonderful man who is my loving husband going on 8 years now. I have no regrets whatsoever. Yes i feel i defintley did the right thing for me and my life and my kids lives.

My husband left me twice in 2 months. Moved out, moved back in. No reason, no explanation. Five months after my mom passed, he came home from work and started packing his things. Said he was moving out. I told him then, as I had told him before. You leave me again, you don't come back. He said OK....he left and I filed for divorce. Do I love the man I married? You bet. Did I do the right thing? I think so. I cannot allow anyone to walk all over me. I am a human being, with feelings. And he knew how afraid I was of losing him after losing my mom. His actions were cruel and I will never in a million years forgive him for it. There could never be a reconciliation with him. Even though for 3 1/2 years, he was a wonderful husband and an amazing friend to me.

Mine had a straw that broke the camel's back moment. It was him cheating with his secretary (how very cliche, right) and me catching them. But before that we had been through alcoholism, drug abuse, and emotional abandonment. If he had just cheated and I hadn't had to deal with all his other crap, maybe it wouldn't have been the proverbial straw.
As for the right thing. OH YES! Who ever keeps writing these stupid articles about miserable divorced women isn't interviewing the right ones. I am 100% more mentally and physically healthy than I ever was when I was married to my ex. Are there hard parts about divorce, absolutely. Do I regret it for a second? No way. I wish I'd done it 6 years before.

The deal breaker for me was when my baby was 9 months old. I woke up one day clear headed and realized that I had been suffering from post pardom depression the whole 9 months. My husband had been so mean to me durring that time calling me names and putting me down constantly. I guess I was seeing it in a whole new light and I left shortly after. I didn't regret it or look back. He had no right to be mean to me.

I have no idea why I wanted to stay married to my ex...he cheated on me twice, and still I thought there would be a day when we could get back together again.I was writing letters to him to get him to see that he needed help and encouraging him to see a therapist...the woman he was with convinced him to take me to court, cuz she didn't like what I was telling him. He took me to court, but the judge more or less laughed us out of the courtroom...after that I finally decided to get the divorce. At the time, i didn't really want it, even though I was the one who had filed. Now, I'm so glad I did, though, cuz now I am engaged to the most wonderful man I've ever known...we will be getting married in June.

It was several things, like cheating on his part, abuse on his part and excessive drinking on his part, so yes I know I did the right thing and no regrets at all. Best and smartest decision I ever made until I married my present husband.

Betrayal and lying. These two things undermined all that went
before and the love I once felt dissolved into resentment and
bitterness. Divorce was a no-brainer and I've never been
happier.
