Most all divorces are directly related to the woman just deciding she isn't happy.

I wonder how many of those women had unrealistic expectations of marriage?
probably most of them. But that fault is applicable to both groom & bride.

Or they just got so wrapped up in planning the wedding/getting engaged that they overlooked massive red flags that would have let them know marriage with that person is a bad idea.
what if there were no red flags at the time of the ceremony? What if you go home and your spouse isn't the same person you married 15 years ago? the longer I'm married the more I realize how daunting it is to stay with the same person for a lifetime, given how people change. Careers, interests, dreams, plans, etc all change as we get older. Maybe some of these folks really made the right choice- at the time, but things went south years later.

It took me about 5 years to not have to watch how much I was spending. Although I'm still paying money to her for the rest of my life from my military retirement (thank God she can't touch my VA disability).

0 days financially. A year or so mentally.

That's about how long I've been with my SO.
No kids though.

Much truth in "marriage can be temporary. Divorce-forever."

1.5 years financially. 0 days emotionally.
I had wanted to get rid of that nag for a long time. It took her punching me for me to finally pull the plug on that charade.

Ex-wife kept the marital home and paid me half of the equity.
Used it to pay off my half of the outstanding debts and my student loans. Essentially I was debt free
Bought a better home, married a better woman, living a better life
I made a conscious decision to pick myself up and not allow the divorce to have a lasting negative impact on my life.
I was married 11 years... Only emotional toll remaining is when my ex-wife's name is mentioned I can't help but get angry thinking of the years wasted...

I was with my ex 14 years also 3 kids though = fricked financially anyway. Greatest kids ever though. If I had to do it over I would do it again just because of my kids.

These threads always make me feel better. Sad for you guys, but better for myself.
Sometimes I'm tired of the single life of endless skanks and spending my money however I want. I think I should settle down. Then I think, if it goes poorly I could lose the things I've worked for. These threads remind me of that. Marriage is a sham.

That's my thing. She's remarried now. All I can think about is how she wants to act like the perfect wife for him but was a lying, cheating, pill popping whore with me. Not to mention how she gets pissed having to spend time with her children.
And I met a great girl that I was crazy about, and she was crazy about me. But she's younger, and she let people talk her out of being with me. Then it pisses me off that why I couldn't have met her when I was 20 instead of my ex.

Depends on how vindictive she is honestly. Your best bet is that she meets a great guy and forgets about you and the marriage.
Kids involved makes it 100 x's more difficult.
I've been divorced for over 7 years and still deal with it. Just recently had Support more than double.
