Which are the most common feelings that one experiences while facing a divorce?
(By the way, it's not that I'm going through one...)

My husband was worthless and gave me seven years of abuse and grief. My divorce to him was the most liberating thing I have ever done for myself.

My divorce will be final in a mtter of weeks we had 6 childen married for 12 years ...worthless not at all not just because of the kids... I feel I have a new beginning to a new life, I did go through bouts where I wondered if I was really ready to let go, I missed him beside me and alot of things but I relized I was just comfortable in my life not happy just comfortable and thats not fair to anyone there are alot of emotions at diffrent stages of the divorce we also went through hate, blame,lonliness but now we can talk on a friendship level. Theres so much more to a divorce emotionaly, than you could ever imagine

I do not know about divorce however I do know of loss I am a widower and I feel worthless all the time. But you get used to it. I hope this helps you understand. Divorce is more a feeling of failure rather than loss. At least that is my opinion.

No, I felt like. . .I'd wasted too much time staying.
I should have left when my daughter was 5,
she was 10 when I left.
He was selfish and despite being the best thing that ever happened to him. . .he still couldn't do right.
He says now. . ."I tell everyone, you were the best thing in my life besides our daughter, I never should have left you. There is and never was anything or anyone else out there that can compare to the wife you were to me". . . .
Too little too late, now I am very happily remarried to a wonderful man (after being divorced for about 8 years) :)

It was a mixture of feelings for me, as on one hand I felt sort of worthless because I couldnt make it work. And then on the other hand I felt like he was a superficial bastard that wasnt helping make it work.
Alot of mixed emotions, as marriage is a two way street.

I felt more free than I have ever been. I made that mistake with the wrong guy and got pregnant young. I stayed with him despite the multiple types of abuse thrown at me, just because of our 2 kids. The stress and finding out he was cheating did me in. It was the greatest release in my life and even better now that I have someone who loves me like I am a rare gem now.

My Father was an alchoholic. When my Mother finally left him she has told me of the great sense of relief. Not having to deal with the drinking, yelling, and weird behavior was freeing. She sometimes felt sad, but I think ultimatly it made her stronger. I think all situations are a little different and all people react to things differently.

Currently I feel alone yet excited.
I feel alone because I really don't have anyone to talk to. Not that I ever talked to my husband a lot but I just need someone to talk to. (Only see therapist once a month.)
I feel excited because I am going to relocate once it is all said and done. It will be me and my dog.

I am told that divorce is like death and you go through the grieving process

I feel great after a divorce. It's a nice slap in the face to all the homo's who can't get married, because marriage is sacred. *hi-five*
