I'll tell you what divorce hasn't taught me. It didn't teach me not to get married again.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Getting divorced didn't sour me on the institution of marriage. I'll tell you what I'll never do: I'll never get divorced again.
There's only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I'll get married again.
What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back; you have to be a kind of team going through life.
Divorce is a time of change. It really rocks a foundation of most people's lives. When we have our heart broken or our dreams taken away from us, it is a time of growth and change.
Divorce isn't just the person, it's everything that goes with it - your kids, the adjustment, everything.
Divorce is a 50-50 thing, and it can be a number of petty things that finally drive you out of your mind.
Divorce is never a pleasant experience. You look upon it as a failure. But I learned to be a different person once we broke up. Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success.
I didn't get married to get divorced.
Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn't an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn't able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.
You don't sign up for a divorce when you get married. It's very painful. But it's taught me a great deal about myself.
