got married too young; didn't set my standard high enough; didn't invest in myself enough; moved out of home too soon; didn't think of this person in long term aspects just for the moment; didn't fool around before marriage so I didn't try the shoe on for size; some things in common ; better for a friend than a husband; no fire in the bed room; no spice; no long term goals; didn't interview for a husband ; just took the first one who had been better than the rest but not the best for me; too inpatient; need to investigate and interview to see if good father material and husband material; the signs were all there ; but I didn' t want to listen!! hope this helps

I was married for 28 years and it ended in divorce. I found him cheating on me at the end of our relationship. He swears that it never happened before and of course I caught him on the first try. LOL Many things happen in life and I did have many happy years with him. I am not bitter and I still have him as a good friend. I don't think we could ever go back and I sure am not going to marry him again. We have a child and three grandchildren. We will always be connected in this way. As to what I would do differently, Nothing I was the one who got the divorce and we get along so much better now. I will always love him and from what he says it is the same for him Sometimes people grow apart and the mature thing to do is to accept it. Whatever you are looking for, Good Luck !!!

The only thing that I could have done another way was to never stop loving my wife. But I did and she did and now 9 years after divorce we still don't.

I decided to divorce because I made a bad choice. I've been divorced for 5 years. I don't have any regrets because it made me the person I am today. I learned a lot from the experience and it made me stronger as a person. I learned to be more careful in my future decisions and what to look for in a relationship. It was painful but without pain we don't grow.

I got a divorce after I finally realized that my ex husband was never going to accept responsibility for his actions. I spent 27 years bailing him out of one thing after another. My only regret was that I waited 25 years to do it. actually I should change that I have my 2 kids and those are the only good thing I can think of that was good in my marriage

I've been divorced twice and can honestly say it mostly boiled down to maturity on the part of both partners. Husband #1- I was only 19 and way too young to settle down. We were both just plain immature and neither of us were ready to settle down. We still had wild oats to sow. Stupid but true. Husband #2- We were both in our early-mid 20's and still hadn't grown up. We both cheated on one another, fought like 12 year olds and had major financial problems plaguing us that again, boiled down to maturity. I've been with my current husband for 8 years now and if I had to do it all over again I would have just waited for him and waited until I was ready to settle down!

My ex cheated and got pregnant so we split up.Before I knew she was pregnant I wanted to try an work it out.After I found out I knew it was a dead issue.The only thing I would like to have done differently is leave each other on better terms.Our kids have suffered because of all the tension.

I only divorde him because he abandoned me within the first 6 months of marriage with no intent of ever coming back to me and the kids. If i were to do things differently i never would have married him in the first place. Oh well we all live and learn.

He turned into a constant substance abuser, attempted physical abuser, loser, major porn addiction, quit his job just to spite me and the list goes on. I made a mistake, can't wait for the papers for it to be offically over.

Because marriage sucks! You're not allowed to get any pvssy on the side without losing half of everything.
And the thing that really chaps my hide is that when a dude cheats, he is the worse person in the world. When a woman cheats, it means there was something missing in her life. What a BS double standard!
