In a miserable marriage ? What do you do ? If you can’t work it out, then you are left with no other option but divorce right? If you are no longer with this person that makes you miserable, you will be happy right ? Not necessarily. I went thru a long and horrible divorce, and I’m not happy. This is what I thought I wanted, but it’s not easier. I almost feel like it would have been easier to stay married. I cannot provide things for my children like I did when I was married. We sold our house and barely pay the bills. First vacations and going out. On top of that, my kids miss their father more now then they did before. I think they blame me for the divorce. For giving up on my marriage. I just can’t keep up. I have to work full time now, whereas before I worked part time. So my time with my children has been cut down. Maybe I wouldn’t have been happy staying in that marriage, but my kids would have been.
