[quote=Anonymous]If you divorce you have to do it b/c you would rather be alone and a single mother than staying in the marriage. You shouldn't do it thinking you would like a different husband-- you may not/ probably will not ever find this mythical creature. I have many friends who have recently (in the last 5 years) gone through divorce. The only one who is truly happier is one who didn't have any children- and even her happiness is not great. In all cases their standard of living has dropped dramatically. You may think you can afford an apt- but if you have a house now that will be a dramatic adjustment for you and your kids. In many cases the ex starts dating again- to a woman you may like, but probably won't- he ends up taking on some version of a parenting role with your kids. I saw a statistic that the most dangerous person in a child's life is mom's live in boyfriend- something to always keep in mind.[/quote]
