[quote=Anonymous]Divorce doesn't have to be a bad thing. There are tons of books on the post-divorce renaissance a lot of women go through. The kind of marriages when they were not appreciated for everything they did for the family and put up with. I think if you're just looking for love to be fireworks, then yea, there would be ups and downs to weather. But if you were in a toxic relationship that increasingly went downhill, then get out. I did. My life has flourished since then. The only hard part is dealing with my ex and his dumb decisions. But I'm good at compartmentalizating and so happy I never have to share a bed with him again. FWIW he didn't cheat and probably would've stayed in the marriage forever - his parents have a terrible marriage and are still together, and my ex-MIL confided that she never would've married FIL if she knew how he'd turn out. I think of her often and imagine she's secretly knowing I made the right choice, because ex moved on to a much younger and lesser version of me.[/quote]
