When it comes to getting divorced, there is so much to figure out and emotions are going to be running wild. When we marry, we never expect we will be facing this decision. The whole point in being married, is that we have found the love of our life and we are going to spend the rest of our lives with that person. As things fall apart, we try to cover them up and pray that they will just go away and become a bad nightmare. The truth is though, that can't happen and the sooner you can realise that, the easier it will be for you, because dragging it out, causes added fears and problems. Imagine now, how you will feel another year down the line. Do you think it will be easier then? Do you think that putting up with what ever it is that is making you feel like getting a divorce, is going to get easier to live with? Maybe you will give it a go and allow yourself to fall in to a false security, but when that fades and dawns on you, you are not going to feel any better about going for a divorce, if anything you will feel worse.
Faced with the reality that things are going no where and that your every day to day life is lived as a regret, rather than a pleasure, should be enough to make you realise what you are missing out on. Where are you? Think back to when you first got together and the life you were leading then. Everyone has the right to be happy and if you are faced with feelings of disappointment all the time, your personality will become the same and you are allowing yourself to slip away in to a depressed world, which is not good for anyone. So when you are debating whether divorce is right for you, look at yourself before and yourself now. You deserve to be happy and enjoy as many days and hours as you can. Life is never perfect, but you deserve to have the best as you can.
Basically, remember who you are and do not allow yourself to get drowned in sorrow. Divorce can seem like a big decision but it is as hard as you make it. As soon as you start to think along the lines of divorce, take the step and do not waste your emotions on dwelling about it.
