Divorcees... What was the last straw? Why did you decide to get divorced?

Question

Do you regret your decision now?

Answer 1

Physical abuse. I swore i would never let a man hit me twice. There's not a day i regret it.

Answer 2

My first husband cheated on me with a woman two years older then his mother then tried to lie to me about it.  To make matters worst he became violent when I told him the marriage was over.  I am now married happily to a very wonderful man.

Answer 3

My wife just doesn't want to be intimate - never really has looking back on everything.  We discussed the issue significantly after we got married with absolutely no positive progression - the more we talked the more she felt like she was being pushed into a corner and the less productive it got.  I am not happy, everyday is painful to some degree.  No abuse, no cheating (that I am aware of) but is just the constant pain of knowing your wife really isn't 'in' to you worth getting divorced over?  I try to avoid it and stick to the positive aspects (everything has positives and negatives, right?) but I am just worn down.  I refuse to cheat - I could never feel good about it or even enjoy it.  I hate knowing that she probably never really felt anything for me and almost certainly never will.  We have no kids (ie no s*x, no kids) so nobody to put through a divorce but ourselves.  Should I just suck it up?

Answer 4

Not there yet, but happily on my way! The last straw was the first straw "honey I'm sorry...I love you so much". Words to live and die by.

Answer 5

I got divorced because my husband cheated on me with my friend and  was not a good role model for your son.  he would let a 3 year old do illegal things that were not good.  No i don't regret divorcing him because hes now in jail for molesting.

Answer 6

After years of gradually worsening emotional abuse,

he suggested I had a "problem" and needed help because I wasn't

as excited about s*x as he was.  So I suggest counseling and on the way there, he gets a call on his cell phone.  I go in to tell the receptionist we are there, and wait for him to finish his call and meet me inside.  After 10 minutes I go see what is taking him so long, and he has LEFT!  He has DITCHED the counseling appointment!

So that was the last straw!    

Answer 7

Abuse, addiction, and 14 years of lies and deception.  

No regrets, my life is SOOOO much happier now!!

Answer 8

verbal abuse, drug abuse, rageaholic.  He's not a bad person, he had a lot of good qualities that I fell in love with.  But when he lost like the 14th job due to his anger and we were in danger of losing our home and, my blood pressure was dangerously high, that was it.  I had had enough.  I don't regret it for one second.  Not then, not now.  I just wish the best for him and I hope he gets help.  He wouldn't get help when he was with me.  Maybe he will someday without me.
