Question

for those of us blissfully unaware...

Answer 1

It is worse on the children if there are any.

Answer 2

Just look at some of the questions I have asked. And I hope you stay blissfully unaware!!

Answer 3

The most painful thing that I have ever gone through. I was married for 30 years when I found out that my husband had been having an affair with the company tramp for over a year and it has been over two years and the pain some days is just as painful as the day I found out. It feels like someone reaches down and rips your heart out and then the anger can be overwhelming some days. I have been told it gets better with time, hope they are right.

Answer 4

Possibly even more painful than losing someone through death. My divorce was 17 years ago & although I now feel it was the best thing that could have happened & although I have since met someone else & remarried (very happily for nearly 11 years now!), there are still some aspects of the divorce that are too painful to dwell on. Some things you can never quite get over - you learn to live with it & be happy anyway.

Answer 5

The magnitude of pain is directly proportional to the amount of accumulated wealth prior to the divorce and in some states the earning potential of the asker.

Compound that by a factor of several hundred if there are young children involved. A bit exponential if the question of custody is in question and down right unbearable is support is deamed necessary by the court.

By the time it is over you would think sticking a nail in your eye would feel better.




g-day!

Answer 6

Well being a child of divorce, It truly sucks. I know that my mom and dad both fell out of love with each other but it still hurt and it has been 12years. If you fall into love than maybe you need to find ways to keep the love going even if that means finding a babysitter to watch the kids for a weekend and just hang out at home with no worries but whether or not you are going to fall asleep on the couch or if you both are goin to make it to the bed to cuddle-up.

Answer 7

very very painful.men come in different shapes of hanger and that pain is extended to the child that is involve of which l think is very unfair.all in all you can deal better with it if you have a son because boys takes the hurt from their father seriously but girls will always look for their dad in respective of the amount of disappointment they get.any separation or divorce does have a great effect on children no matter what

Answer 8

The closer you were to your spouse, the more difficult and painful the divorce will be. Not only is a divorce difficult mentally and emotionally, but it is often also extremely difficult financially. Any property you own, is usually split in half, so this will usually set anyone back in life. Also, if you have children, it is usually extremely difficult on the child(ren).

Answer 9

Lots of people say divorcing was the best thing they ever did. That's what they say later, when they have distance and have closed a chapter. But I've never ever heard anyone say that divorce was anything but painful. Never.

Answer 10

When I was 21 I had spinal menengitis. I had to have a spinal tap. I always said it was the most horrible thing I could have ever endured. That is until starting this divorce. Honest to God, I would rather have a spinal tap daily then to be going through this.

Answer 11

I never been divorce, but I truly believe that it depends on the situation. If the marriage is full of turmoil, a divorce may be a blessing. Kids complicate a divorce more than anything, the parents may move on more easily if there wasn't kids involve.
