[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50 going through a divorce currently

I was very careful deciding whether to marry him.  I was 100% sure that it was right.  While I didn’t expect happily ever after, I did expect mutual respect, basic courtesy, a little kindness, an attempt to work together, etc.  After years of a miserable marriage he decided to divorce me.  While I wouldn’t have opted for divorce, I was tremendously relieved when he did.  I have discovered that being by myself is great!  I can do what I want instead of trying to please somebody who refuses to be pleased and every interaction is a minefield.  I’ve also realized that being alone is not the same as loneliness. I’m a bit introverted and am happy as a clam living alone.  Loneliness is when your life partner/lover/best friend withdraws emotionally and treats you with scorn, rebuffing every attempt to reach out in any way.

Also, due to my personal religious beliefs, I wouldn’t feel right remarrying.  There are some causes of divorce that I might consider mitigating circumstances (infidelity, abuse, etc.), but those aren’t applicable in this case.  The denomination I was raised in probably wouldn’t have an issue with it, these are just my personal beliefs, for me.  What others choose to do is up to them and their beliefs.  If they choose to remarry after divorce, I wish them every happiness. I just know I would have issues doing it myself, in this particular case. [/quote]

How old were you when you got married?

Sounds like you are Catholic?[/quote]
