Well, honestly, my ex-wife divorcing me was the best thing that ever happened to me. We totally didn't get along and I had actually left her before, but she begged me to come back.
We were completely miserable and now she is happy with her new hubby and I'm happy to be on my own. I don't recommend it lightly, but man when things are horrid, it can be a life saver.

If you havent gotten married and you would consider getting a divorce, then I dont think that you should get married in the first place. If you are marries and everyone is miserable then yay after trying counseling first.

Nay.
It should be given more thought in the beginning, and taken far more seriously by the individuals, just as any decision that involves a "committed" effort. And not be just an easy out / cash out to a lawyer clause.

I would like to think that when I make that step it would be forever, but then I think everyone assumes this. I don't think I'm smarter than everyone else. So in my case, I'd rather not choose at all than to make the wrong choice.
Playing it safe? or missing an oportunity? I don't know. But marriage is something I would only do once.

Depends on the situation...
If its dealing with issues that can't be fixed, then yea.
If things can be worked out with talking or counseling, then nay.

as a 'poll':
I got a fairly amical divorce way back when. no kids, no property. in that case it was a "yea". The initial motivation for that marriage was mistaken.
your own life never seems as clear-cut as what you see around you (all those details)
Counseling might help [wish I could say my ex and I tried it but 'when in doubt', it's probly a good option]
It was still a painful experience, but looking back it was probably the right move for me (for her too probly, thoI can't really say)

I'd say really think about whether your problems with your husband can be fixed. If not, then divorce. Also, staying together "for the kids" is a terrible thing to do. :)

That's up up the individual, and the circumstances. Everyone will have differences along the way. Depends upon how severe they are.
I have been very happily married for 51 years!

Yay. It's better to recognize when something that important isn't working and take another shot at being happy.

nay. if you didn't like the person don't marry them. i think you just better work it out, go to therapy, and fix things, if you have kids, and your husband/wife doesn't cheat or abuse you. if you have kids, or your spouse does something really bad to you....well then go right ahead!
