Do you ever regret you divorce?

Do you ever regret your divorce? Wish you had tried harder? Waited longer?

[Anonymous]

How old were/are your children?

Nope. Best money I ever spent outside of paying for undergrad.

I regret it all the time. It was horrible and being a single mom is like running a marathon. But the kids and I are much happier.

Nope. No hard feelings for my ex-wife, but I'm sooo much happier now. It's been worth every penny of support.

I regret that things didn't work out, and I regret that I lost respect for someone who I loved so much. But I don't regret the divorce. Life is much better now. That being said, hindsight is 20/20 and I know that I could have done some things better, too.

Another +100. To have once been in love with someone and then have it end is a bitter experience.

So far it seems that people are way happier in their divorces than they were in their marriages!

A bad marriage is a special type of hell.

How can you regret it if you are happier now?

I am so glad my mother lived long enough to see me happily divorced. It is a source of consolation when I miss her. She could go, knowing that the kids and I were safe and happy.

Single motherhood is really tough. My youth is officially behind me. The responsibilities and relentlessness of the demands are nearly unfathomable. Still.

I don't regret my children. I most certainly do not regret ending a very hostile marriage.

Because I would have preferred to have a marriage that worked out and for my children to have a father in their lives.

One thousand times NO! But might be more complicated feelings involved if we had children together....shudder....

Nope, it was the best decision I have ever made.
