[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have one to share? I have to believe not all divorces have to be horrible and traumatic.[/quote]

Let me guess... you cheated and met someone and you just want to quickly and neatly move on? And oh yes, I’m sure you “didn’t” and “would never”!! [/quote]

No. I have wanted a divorce for almost a decade. I stayed due to location/custody issues after an accidental pregnancy. I have been trying to survive for almost a decade...I want out. The marriage was always a mistake. Almost canceled wedding. I am not interested in another relationship. I just want out but do not want to cause kid pain. So I am looking for amicable stories. I think we can do it amicably but it helps to hear that not every divorce has to be a disaster. Some marriages really should have never happened and should not be saved.

Oh, OP. I’m sorry. Get out. It’s ok. It’s not going to be fun. But the kids can tell, and think about what kind of relationship you are modeling.

I divorced when my kid was 2.5. He’s now 16. Joint custody was the best solution we could come up with. His dad and I are much better parents together this way, I swear to God.

I remarried eventually, and am NOW modeling what a healthy relationship looks like. There’s such a difference. [/quote]

BTW, I’m the PP whose parents stayed together “for the kids.” And I married in a way that was modeled for me the first time. I had to learn how to have a healthy relationship with someone who actually loved and respected me, and it was a steep learning curve. [/quote]
