Will A Divorce Ruin or Save Me?

Jun 9, 2011 | Emotional Effects of Divorce

You think you want a divorce but you’re so scared that you and your family will be destroyed both financially and emotionally if you decide to move forward. You just don’t know what do and how to make the decision. You’ve been thinking about this for a long time and deep down you know you’re no longer in love with your spouse. What should you do?
Well, first of all, have you tried counseling and/or couples therapy to see if there’s any way to save your marriage and rekindle your love for each other? If you haven’t, that’s probably your first step. And if your spouse won’t go, then you have another answer, as you didn’t cause all the problems in your relationship by yourself.

If you have been through therapy and still feel there’s no hope to put the LOVE back in your marriage, then you have to decide what to do. Will you be the better person to live in a loveless marriage because of finances? Or will it end up destroying you? Only you can figure this out, but love is so important in our lives and it keeps us human. Do you want to end up a Stepford Wife or Husband?

What will happen if you divorce? Can you survive financially? Emotionally? Well, it’s not going to be easy, but eventually you figure it out and are able to launch into your NEW BEGINNING with new loves, new or better jobs and a Free You! Your children will also survive despite your belief that you’ll ruin your life—because do you want them to also end up in a loveless or destructive marriage? Of course not, we all want our children to have the best in their lives.

I believe that we are much better off making our own decisions about our private lives, instead of leaving it in the hands of the legal system.
