Navigating the Decision to Leave a Long-Term Marriage

Consider this, are you seeking permission or incentive from strangers on whether to end a long-term marriage? Why do you wish to leave your husband? Is it because you have fallen out of love, are there unresolved issues, or do you both have kids involved?

On the altar, you promised a lifetime commitment, but does this mean he doesn’t deserve anything above twelve years of effort? As a spouse, you should make an effort to work things out before considering divorce. If the man you married has left and there's no hope, then yes, you should leave. However, if the man you married is still somewhere within you, give love a chance to bring him back to reality. As adults, we must act responsibly and beyond our emotions.

The Importance of Communication

That’s a decision between you and your husband. If you feel you have no choice, consult a divorce specialist attorney. Don’t feel pressured. There are kind people to help you and support you on your journey. If you’re on a limited income, someone can raise funds to help you through the divorce process. Don’t let religious or man-made rules con you against your legal rights.

Only proceed if you are truly committed. If you have kids, the last thing you need is someone interested in harming them.

Reflecting on Your Journey

Think back to your twelve years together. How many times did you consider divorce? How many times did you contemplate asking someone to marry you? At least you made it twelve years. Next time, perhaps just exchange rings and make verbal promises. Life is full of changes and ups and downs, and marriage is meant to be until death. At least.

How many of you really think our opinions matter? We have no idea about you or your situation, and it's weird to ask strangers their opinions on such a big decision.

If you have a very good reason to do it, why not destroy and game the divorce system? Winning the lottery without buying a ticket sounds great, but it’s not ethical or practical.

Remember, consider all the factors before making a decision. Seek professional advice and ensure your actions are guided by good reasons and ethical considerations.

Reflect, communicate, and make the best decision for your future and well-being.
