Just how painful is divorce?

medicine_man_rn

It is worse on the children if there are any.

You know,people will say its one of the hardest things you will ever do.I will have to disagree,my wife was cheating on me for two years.With all of the fighting and all of the stress (will she do it again),I was really relieved but my children suffered the most.Hearing my son cry on the phone wanting to know where I'm at,that broke my heart.

It is one of the hardest things that you will ever do.

All I know is that for me, for the first couple months my heart felt like it couldnt beat it was so heavy. Like my throat couldnt swallow and I didnt want to open my eyes. But eventually, the more time went on and the more men that flirted with me, I realized I didnt need him and that it isnt the end of the world.

For me, it was the most miserable experience ever. My marriage completed me, and when she said she was tired of being married and that I had to leave, it was as if she'd ripped out a piece of my heart. That was twenty years ago, and there still is an ache...

Try ripping out your heart, dousing it in shite and ramming it down your own throat until you choke. Then add lots of money and lawyers to add to the headache and wallet-ache. Oh, and a sore throat from all the shouting.

The magnitude of pain is directly proportional to the amount of accumulated wealth prior to the divorce and in some states the earning potential of the asker.

Compound that by a factor of several hundred if there are young children involved. A bit exponential if the question of custody is in question and down right unbearable is support is deamed necessary by the court.

By the time it is over you would think sticking a nail in your eye would feel better.

g-day!

for many, particularly if there are children involved, it is the neverending problem for you life. the old way was better. never get divorced no matter what. if i could go back get a do-over, and i have heard the same from so many men, they would do anything and put up with anything to avoid a divorce.

Just look at some of the questions I have asked. And I hope you stay blissfully unaware!!

divorce is very stressfull especially if theres children involved i had divorce and moving home on in 2 months,two of the most stressfull events out.the way i describe divorce its like a long black tunnel,but you have to go through it to get to the other side.and you do smile and you do laugh again,if you have kids you let them be your strength.however the ex can be a problem for many years after divorce untill they move on

It is terrible. And never solves any problems, no matter what some say.

It hurts soooooooooooooo so much.Your head your heart your soul all in tatters its like a bad car crash at first you keep feeling worst then one day you feel better for moments then minutes then a hour where you feel ok and you have to build on that

The closer you were to your spouse, the more difficult and painful the divorce will be. Not only is a divorce difficult mentally and emotionally, but it is often also extremely difficult financially. Any property you own, is usually split in half, so this will usually set anyone back in life. Also, if you have children, it is usually extremely difficult on the child(ren).

To think of the memories you once shared..painful.
To think of them no longer in your life...dreadful.
To know..to really know..the love is gone...heartbreaking.
To believe no matter happens..what one day it will feel better...priceless.

it can be hard but if it something that you both want it ok it can be hard on children

Like having your heart ripped out of your left ankle.

shirley v

most divorces are a relief

cockroachdavis

It is the act of dying while alive.

erockaround

ask the kids of a divorced family

cheri h

it can be totally devastating, just like the death of a loved one

david1813uk

not as pain full as staying in a painful marriage

When I was 21 I had spinal menengitis. I had to have a spinal tap. I always said it was the most horrible thing I could have ever endured. That is until starting this divorce. Honest to God, I would rather have a spinal tap daily then to be going through this.

cut your heart out of your chest stomp on it and be expected to get up and smile and pretend nothing ever happened. to be betrayed by the one that you devoted your trust ,life, and body to can you imagine , betrayal to the fullest extent? then you have experienced divorce

kathyw

Lots of people say divorcing was the best thing they ever did. That's what they say later, when they have distance and have closed a chapter. But I've never ever heard anyone say that divorce was anything but painful. Never.

beautysexychick

its very painful... like ur heart being ripped out of ur chest esp with kids involved...

tannerlady

The most painful thing that I have ever gone through. I was married for 30 years when I found out that my husband had been having an affair with the company tramp for over a year and it has been over two years and the pain some days is just as painful as the day I found out. It feels like someone reaches down and rips your heart out and then the anger can be overwhelming some days. I have been told it gets better with time, hope they are right.

tildypops

Never gonna try it. Sorry I can't help. Any way of you avoiding it if you are still in love. I hope so. Good luck either way xxxxxxxx

very very painful.men come in different shapes of hanger and that pain is extended to the child that is involve of which l think is very unfair.all in all you can deal better with it if you have a son because boys takes the hurt from their father seriously but girls will always look for their dad in respective of the amount of disappointment they get.any separation or divorce does have a great effect on children no matter what

Do you know why divorces are so expensive?

Because they are worth it.

Divorces can be painfully messy, or a genuine relief....it all depends on how the couples approach it.
