If you've been through a divorce, would you have said before he/she was "the only one on Earth for you?"

Question

If so, you would have been a believer in destiny before and now you believe one of two things: (1) you were just plain wrong or (2) you no longer believe in destiny.

What do you believe now that you've been through a divorce?

Answer 1

I never said that about him.

I did say AFTER the divorce if he were the only one for me, I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone. Does that count?

Answer 2

I have been through two divorces and I don't really think that I ever felt that it was destiny. If I did it would have been more of a feeling of passion I guess. I would have been just plain wrong if I did feel that way. I am dating a girl now that I do feel that way about though. Since I haven't ever felt this feeling before I must have just been blind before, looking for the wrong things in women. Things always happen for a reason though.

Answer 3

I am just now beginning to go through a divorce (my husband's decision - he actually "checked out" of the relationship about a year ago without bothering to tell me and I have been totally delusional, wearing blinders, etc.) and while I was completely SHOCKED initially I am now beginning to be a bit - yes - excited about the idea of being free of him!! Shocking, I know. And we were married 21 years and have 2 kids. BUT he is a rather arrogant b***ard who cares about trivial things like a bobby pin on the bathroom floor and is very grudging with sex soooooooo I am realizing myself that I can do better or even be happier on my own without him!! Amazing to admit that here. But - to actually answer your question - I dated a LOT prior to our marriage and I NEVER felt that he was "the only one on Earth for Me". Through our marriage it is true that I did believe we would be together forever but I never bought into the "one and only" theory. I know dating will be bizarre and hard after such a long time with one person but I am ready to give it a go. Hope I answered your question in some round-a-bout fashion!!

Answer 4

If you have been through a divorce im sure it is horrible, but the thing is there is so many millions of people in this world. It's not reasonable if you can't find you perfect match. There has to be someone else out there that is in your same position! You have to think positive, and pray to God about it he will work things out you just have to show him you care for him and he can do wonders!

Answer 5

I was actually not going to be surprised if I ended up getting a divorce, but was hoping not (my parents are divorced). It however, turned out to be a blessing because God knew I wanted my honey to go to church with me and had a personal relationship with Him - which is the type of man I am with now.

It's actually the opposite of your question for me, I believe the one I am with now is the one on Earth for me. I never thought of it that way with my ex. I don't believe in destiny, and more reason not to...Everything happens for a reason.

Answer 6

human beings such as you're making it very complicated for those people who're Catholic Christians to maintain any civility in any respect in direction of our Protestant brothers and sisters in Christ. We answer those comparable questions many times back, and no one ever bothers to look up our responses, no count what proportion situations that little "we've stumbled on comparable questions" on the spot pops up as you're typing the call. the quick answer on your question: we don't pray *to* Mary. We ask her to wish for us, merely as you ask a buddy or kin member to wish for you. She's alive in Heaven, alongside with another believer, and she or he would be able to wish for our desires from the point of view of a loving mom. it quite is no longer our fault which you do no longer understand the version between a mediator and an intercessor. A mediator settles a dispute between 2 events, merely as Jesus mediated interior the dispute between sinful guy and a holy God. An intercessor places in a reliable observe for somebody else with an expert discern, that's exactly what happens as quickly as we ask every person, everywhere, at any time to wish for us. ok, there that's -- the umpteenth time that i've got typed those very comparable words. little doubt you will provide terrific answer to a minimum of one in each and every of your Catholic-hating cronies and their "Ain't them Catholics undesirable!" contract with you. i do no longer assume you to pay attention, much less have faith what each and every of the Catholics here could say considering that's possible previous your ability. And as quickly as back, interior the path of the capability of the Holy Spirit, maximum persons Catholics controlled to be civil and incredibly well mannered interior the face of rampant Protestant conceitedness and lack of expertise. 2 factors for the Catholic team.

Answer 7

That most marriages and relationships are the result of mutual convenience, not never ending soulmate love.

We were never meant to be together forever. We were meant to interact with many people in this life. To learn from and to teach one another and then move on when the lesson is done.

Answer 8

Don't believe in destiny. Nor do I think I was wrong. Things happen in any relationship sometimes you survive it sometimes you don't.

Answer 9

That I wasn't cut out to be married and that I should have stuck to my original plan of staying single.

Answer 10

People make mistakes and they learn from them. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger...there is love after death. I survived!
