If you pulled the trigger and filed for divorce was there any regret afterward?
Were your children mad at you?
How has dating life been since your divorce?
Asking for a "friend"
Have I considered it? All the time
I have heard there is a lot of judgment tho, especially when you decide to leave your husband and he isn't known as an abuser, addict, etc. Simply "being unhappy" is not a good enough reason for a lot of people. We are expected to forgive, forget and suffer...
I would be VERY happy if my mom dumped my dad.

I knew we were displaying a unhealthy relationship to him and didn't want him to grow up thinking people are supposed to argue all the time and be unhappy in their marriage.

Any regret?
Sometimes I do regret. But that's only because I didn't always think of the end goal. I probably should have stuck around until I was finished with my doctorate. BUT My happiness was so stifled I got to a point where he HAD to get out. When I have regret these days I realize it's because I don't trust the universe enough to trust the process and KNOW what I want is just right around the corner. As I work on this, all my problems are greatly lessened.
How my son took it?
My son doesn't understand what is going on.He was only 1 when we divorced. At first he cried anytime we would separate but now this is the only thing he has ever known. In fact when he sees us together he's slightly confused. The only world he knows is one where both of us is happy....and apart.
How has dating been?
At first it was a learning curve. I haven't dated in 6 years. Now it's a breeze. I know how to put my best parts forward. I know how to have fun. I know how to let my personality glow. I know how to go alone to places. I know how to look FIONE. I'm starting to understand why boundaries are needed. One thing is that I'm a LOT happier.
Thank you ladies for being so candid with the responses.
I'd like to know if there were any signs that your ex wasn't a keeper and if anyone tried to warn you ahead of time.
Do you still believe in the institution of marriage?
What would you go back and tell your old self prior to the marriage?
Serious questions, btw.
