[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Divorce cheerleading is exactly what happens and I hate seeing people fall for it. There is no guarantee of being happier, ever, and co-parenting with a difficult ex is a hard road for everyone. Sure, some people end up better off, but some don't. What is for sure, though, is losing time with your kids, and financial sacrifice.[/quote] One of the most realistic posts I have ever seen here on the topic. For every, "I found a new man two years later and life is wonderful", there is a "remarried, same problems but person has a different name". [/quote] The truth is, we don't have enough information about whether this marriage can be returned to a functional state (if it ever was in one). For every divorce cheerleader, there's the inane advice that all the marriage needs is a few "mom nights out" and the kids will get older, and all will be well. As women we get the message that we need to "work" on the relationship, etc. People POUR resources into terrible relationships, good love after bad. Yes, some marriages can be rekindled or renegotiated. Some are just dysfunctional. It takes time, probably therapy, experimentation, etc. to figure out which is which. Sounds like OP actually does know what's best but is scared.[/quote]
