I am ready to divorce my husband. Period. Don't want to go in to details as to why but for those who have done it, are you glad you did it? Any regrets or remorse? I have been unhappily married for a while but not ready to be single at all. But I cannot continue to be in a marriage where I am unhappy everyday. Just want some insights from someone who has or is going through divorce. Thanks for your input.

Yes, while the process is difficult at times, in the end it was totally worth it.

I've never been divorced, but my sister has and she doesn't regret it one bit. Sometimes you just know when it's over.

If you want to have an LTR, be prepared to settle. The single life for divorcees is not as glamourous as some make it out to be.

You'll need to change your user name, then.

Donna, I know you've had quite the struggle with your husband and all his issues. I'm so sorry it's come to this. I think once you "know" in your heart that you cannot go any further with a person it's time to walk away before you inflict more damage upon one another and yourselves.

Just be really certain in you own mind that you would rather live any other way than the way you are living, because divorce does bring difficult financial changes.

Best of luck to you.

I know you might really want to do this, but think about it and give it some time. You sound angry right now, and it's not a good decision to make such a huge decision while you are upset.

Does your husband know you feel this way? Maybe if you told him you were thinking of a divorce it could change things. I know it would for me.

Also, I don't know how old you are, but being single ain't all it's cracked up to be, either. Dating is no fun, and learning to adore someone else's kids is a nightmare. Chances are you could be alone the rest of your life.

I would think long & hard, both financially and emotionally, before going down this road.

How long have you been married?

You say you don't want to get into the reasons, but there are some things that are dealbreakers, and some things that are just minor annoyances.

Just a thought.

My ex boyfriend told me once that divorce has been one of the best things ever happened to him. His ex wife is not a bad person. They are just different. They have a working relationship because they have a child together. They get along much better now. So it works out for them.

I divorced after 18 years of marriage, and do not regret it one little bit. Life is too short to be miserable. If you don't see to your own happiness, no one will.

But don't think for a minute that every step of the way is easy; it's not. Divorce is a death. You will grieve and you will have a period of adjustment.

Best of luck to you, whatever you decide.
