[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been that way forever. I'm divorced for 7 years now and my ex-wife would foolishly come here for relationship advice. She got some of the juice to instigate a divorce (as well as horrible legal advice) right on this forum. I post here to try to give a wake-up call to women who think divorce is going to be great, and a judge is going to hand them everything. My ex is currently 100 pounds overweight, single, living in a home that smells like cat urine, and the kids don't respect her.

If you value marriage at all I'd leave this place and never come back.

Wow, I value marriage and I'm divorced. A judge awarded me indefinite alimony - alimony for life. I am slim I guess because I run a lot, and I'm engaged to be remarried  - a decade after my divorce. When that happens, I'll lose my alimony, and I couldn't care less.

I lost no friends in my divorce and made many new ones. I have a new career. And my kids not only respect me, but love me.

Was it easy? NO. Would I wish it for other women? NO. But I had no choice, and I'm thankful.

What a nasty thread to start, OP. Some people need to get divorced. Most women thrive afterwards - after a lot of going through hell. Frankly, nowadays young people aren't even getting married in the first place, so you're seriously behind the times. And most of my married friends are now struggling; several are divorcing themselves. I'm thankful I was forced to do it when I was 40 so I could start a new life.

For those who are bitterly waiting until their kids go away to college, I'm really sorry but you probably won't find another partner at that point. Flame away, but it's very true if you're a woman. Your husband has taken ALL the best years of your life away from you.
