[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m getting divorced. When I tell people this they say, “I’m so sorry.” But honestly, I don’t feel bad. This is the best decision I have made since marrying my STBX. My life is going to be so much more peaceful than it has been in years. No more putting up with narcissistic/borderline abuse. Just want it done. I don’t anyone to feel sorry for me. Why do people say they that? [/quote]

Because your marriage FAILED.[/quote]

The state of being married is neither a success or failure.[/quote]

If two companies enter into a merger deal and it falls apart, was it a success or a failure?
If someone trains for the Olympics and doesn’t make the team, was it a failure (however admirable and worthwhile in the attempt itself)?
If you take the bar exam and do not pass, is it a success or a failure?

When you take solemn vows that are legally binding and do not keep them, that is a failed marriage.

I agree with you that a successful marriage isn’t just a marriage that endures; but yes, a divorce is a failed marriage. Really do deal with it.[/quote]

Was it a failure when Beyonce went solo?
If an athlete qualified for the Olympics or NBA or NFL but chose a different path, was it a failure?
If you go to law school but decide to not take the bar exam and do something else because law is not your thing, and then create a company you sell for $15 M and retire at 45 are you a failure (this actually happened to my friend) but since you won't believe me... what if you go to med school but end up being a comedian on the "hangover"... success or failure?

When you get married and it doesn't work out, sometimes its for the best and you have greater things to look forward to it's not a failure it's a blessing[/quote]

No one ever said divorce isn’t sometimes for the best, but it is literally a failure of upholding the vows you made. It’s the breaking of vows. Whether the vows were made in a courthouse, a church, or a synagogue, marriage is a binding contract until death—unless it fails and is broken by divorce.[/quote]

That’s nonsense[/quote]

So a marriage that ends in divorce…succeeded? Talk about nonsense.[/quote]
