Interesting statistic ...
I heard this on NY's Z100 this morning, but can't find it online anywhere. Anyway, they said that some place did a study and one of the TOP resolutions for 2012 is...
:::drum roll::: DIVORCE!! ha.. go figure... we're not alone! lol
Re: Interesting statistic ...
I almost waited.
But after I met with my therapist for only the 2nd time, I realized I couldn't wait any longer. I HAD to do it. It was eating away at me.
So I did it 2 weeks before Christmas
It was nice not having to pretend or coordinate anything over the holidays. Just me doing my own thing.
I was thinking this too. I wonder how hard it is going to be to find the right relationship with a companion again with this statistic. In a way, this is a sad thought even though I know I am not alone with my divorce.
I know quite a few people that are just kind of staying in marriages for the show. It's sad.
This. I'm sure we're surround by people who feel like this, and we just have no idea because of the front they put on.
This was kind of my situation. I finally came to the final decision that I was going to file for divorce on DS's birthday party...New Years Eve Day. It took some time to get everything around and get an attorney, so it was late February by the time I filed.
This. I also wonder that of the people I've talked to about my situation and family and friends that have weighed in on it.. are they even happily married? I mean, being married 30 years doesn't mean you know what a happy marriage is.
This is exactly it, from my experiences. Just from coming forward and telling friends about my situation, the dam has opened up and everyone's spilling it. I only know 1 couple who is "happy".. all the rest are indeed miserable, or living a lie.
This was me but we separated on Christmas day and filed on January 2.
Everything started falling apart for me around Christmas and we separated in Jan. It wasn't really that I was trying to wait until after the holidays but that is just kind of how it all played out.
When I started coming out with the problems in my marriage I had a lot of others open up to me about their own struggles in their marriages. It made me realize that the people who I thought were happy, aren't. It blows my mind how many people just stay in marriages and put up a front.
