We were married for 23 years and 3 months to the day. We have four beautiful daughters and one amazing granddaughter. I like him, and we get along well, but he failed to grow in an area so necessary to my growth emotionally that we ended up at a dead end.
I don't regret it, and I like him. If you divorce like adults and remember at that point it's ALL about the kids, you'll be okay.

I think that in my case that divorce was the best thing to happen to me. I have been happily divorced for 8yrs. The only part that I am not happy about is that their mother has primary custody of my boys and I live in a county that is all for the woman. My ex, then wife cheated on me with more people than I care to know about. She was 9months pregnant with some other guys kid before the divorce papers was even signed. To me receiving divorce papers on my birthday was the best thing the heartless excuse for a woman ever did for me. It's too bad my boys live with her because they are not happy at all. But, they are getting closer to the age where they will be able to decide for themselves. The way I think about divorce is its necessary to prevent homicide,& suicide. Divorce is not that bad of a thing, having children with someone that does not deserve them is something else. I am not totally against all women having custody but, I do think the system needs to be more fair for men & women for the childrens sake. www.madmenunited.org

Though the decision was one of the hardest things I had control of, married young, uneducated in many ways, as well as not much self esteem. 2 children & 13 yrs later, barely 29 yrs old myself at time, it was hell! No regrets then or now cuz I have learned a lot about myself. Took lots of tears, pain, fear just a few to name. We are after almost 2yrs are startn 2 be friends true friends & we realize we are good this way. I believe we Love, we Learn, & finally we just remember 2 Live.

i was married for 12 terrible years brought 2 kids into this world. I was abused emotionally and physically. I could have no friends except for his. I started school and it was ok with him because i got grant money which he took to buy drugs with. At school i made friends and was talking to one of these friends at a store my x came and accused me of having a affair which i was not. he told me to get my a$$ home and being as scared as i was i went when i got there he told me to pack my $h1t and get the ****out so started packing he grabbed me and dislocated my shoulder, pulled the tendons and ligaments from my elbow and seprated the bones in my wrist before the cops got him off of me if they hadnt came when they did I would be dead there is no doubt about that. I got a restraining order which he broke and the day i filed for my divorce i had a celebaration the day i got my divorce i had a PARTY i was so happy to be rid of him and the control he had over me i never regreted leaving him or divircing him just that i didnt do it sooner.

well I loved my husband and I probably will till the day I die there will always be a special place in my heart for him.Why? because he was my best friend before we got married and my high school sweetheart. We were together for 21 years on Monday Oct 8Th.
I took the verbal abuse the physical abuse and the drugs, infidelities,the other women that gave birth to his children but he was my husband. I KNOW I WAS STUPID SO NO ONE HAS TO MAKE THAT COMMENT.
but UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN IN MY SHOES DON'T JUDGE ME.
He finally bet me for the last time and kicked me out of our house. and moved his fat *** girlfriend in. I'm 5ft 4in I weigh 130 lbs and I look good so it is his loss and he knows that he will never find another woman to cook, clean, spoil him or do the things I did for him.
I wish them both well. They deserve each other and I deserve better.

Very good. My first marriage was a disater. He was very abusive verbally, and very into control. I felt like everything revolved around him and I was just there to follow him around. It sucked. After I left with the kids, he acted like he would be in their lives, but after the divorce was final, he saw them twice, and has been MIA (no child support, letters, phone calls, etc.) for almost 2 years- thank God.
The children and I are in a new family now, I got remarried recently to a very good man and everything is happier without my ex around (well wherever he is.)

Divorce has it's place in any marriage that has deteriorated so much that the people in it feel that causing physical harm to the other person. We know that only when there are children involved that divorce carries an evil edge to it.

happy
i freed my self
it was ticket to start dating all over again
and i am glad i did it
she wanted out
so i gave her out
unlike other people who wince, claw and scream their way of a divorce, they are locked in mentality wise and they fear the unknown
hence why divorces get ugly
it's harder on women that men
if only for the fact that a soon to be divorced women will be older and thus less attractive for men
where as a older men just gets better and can usually get a younger GF or that trophy wife he so richly deserves

My ex took my self esteem away from me. I found myself back after I divorced him.

I think it is a word that should not be used in a marriage. Marriage is until death do you part. Everyone says it but they don't commitment to it!
