In my experience, staying in a marriage that my ex and I both agreed had all its best moments behind it was epically depressing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
I was gone so much in my first marriage. I love the moments when I engage with my youngest daughter now. It's not my thing to sit on the ground and play tea party, but I'll do it because it's a moment that will stick with me forever.
Divorce is always terrible, but I haven't met anyone who went through it and isn't happier now.
Divorce was miserable, as it always is, and we divorce for the same reasons we marry.
The divorce was the toughest thing in my life. It still hurts.
I kind of came to the conclusion after I did finally get married that love and relationships are just a series of horrific losses with hopefully one win.
In terms of my marriage, you know, falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that's ever happened to me.
There was never a point in my life where I gave up. My marriage, as you know, fell apart.
I lived a really wonderful life with this man and even after our divorce, it was incredible.
I was just so lucky to have a wonderful life after a tough marriage.
