    Ok, I'll play

    1. Did you split amicably: No. I packed up and left without him knowing one day (long story involving drug abuse).
    2. Did you kill each other during the process: I dreamed about it often. He was strung out and psychotic, so it was not fun. Luckily he is now clean and I can get along with him.
    3. Was the divorce due to cheating: No, but a week later he had a girl living with him.
    4. Do you regret your decision: HELL NO. I might literally be dead if I hadn't left him. Now I have the person I should have been with all those years
    5. Did you keep your married name? Nope, although I do need a new license.

    1. Did you split amicably: No, it was a case of verbal abuse and control

    2. Did you kill each other during the process: No, I made sure to advise my lawyer on his issues and never had to come face to face with him and had to calm him down by going to the police for impersonating me to get personal stuff. We had no contact except through lawyers.

    3. Was the divorce due to cheating No

    4. Do you regret your decision : Never, it was the best thing I did for myself

    5. Did you keep your married name? in my province you can't change your name, you can hyphen for 250$ which i've never done

    Seems close to what I had to deal with, he was obsessive compulsive with paranoia and using drugs. Never will have contact with him again. And he had a gf 3 weeks after I left (and during that time, he was still trying to harass me)

    Yeah, not fun is it? Only almost dying and detox got him clean. I'm really glad he did for his kid's sake. Drug addicts are a special kind of crazy when they're in it bad.
  • 1. Did you split amicably- good grief no, he threatened to chop off my head with a spade

    2. Did you kill each other during the process - it was vile, horrible, cost an effing fortune and he was an *kitten*, fought for the sake of it and told me he didn't care how much it cost him as he knew it would cost me money and that is what he wanted, it cost me almost £60,000 (60000 British pounds sterling = 96984.0000 US dollars)

    3. Was the divorce due to cheating - no, he was an *kitten*, I did cheat in the end and he divorced me for it after fighting my divorcing him for being a n *kitten*, no one cheats in a good marriage.

    4. Do you regret your decision - lmao....ummmmm......NO

    5. Did you keep your married name? I did until I married again, but only because of the children

    People do cheat in good marriages-- marriages that they treasure-- some people will never be happy with enough attention, it's called sexual addiction and has nothing to do with the state of the marriage and/or their partner.
  • 1. Did you split amicably - not in the beginning. It got ugly. We fought over everything. But now we are friends and invite each other to family parties.
    2. Did you kill each other during the process - Yes, it was very bitter.
    3. Was the divorce due to cheating - Yes
    4. Do you regret your decision - Not at all. We are better friends than a couple. Nice guy, I just couldn't live with him.
    5. Did you keep your married name? - No I went back to my maiden name

    1. Did you split amicably?
    No. I had been asking for a divorce for a long time, and he refused. He finally agreed to move out, but not before clearing out our entire house of EVERYTHING ( furniture, dishes, ect ). Small price to pay to have the mf'er gone.
    2. Did you kill each other during the process?
    He fought me on EVERYTHING. He had a legal aide lawyer since he had no job. He didn't care, it wasn't his money that was being wasted.
    3. Was the divorce due to cheating?
    I had no physical proof, only speculation but that's only one of the MANY reasons we split.
    4. Do you regret your decision?
    Not at all other than it didn't happen soon enough.
    5. Did you keep your married name?
    I did at first because we had two kids together. I have since remarried and taken a different last name.

    At one point of our relationship, I chose not to have kids with him because I was afraid of what kind of pressure and stuff the kid would have to deal with, everybody around him had to be perfect. The drug was to deal with his anxiety and he would become even more controlling and verbally abusive.

    1. Did you split amicably: No. Even a decade later, we have to fake it to have a civilized discussion, though we both make a strong effort to do so for the kids.
    2. Did you kill each other during the process: Wanted to. A lot. But, you see, I have a healthy awareness of the consequences for committing crimes, and well, prison, the part where you can't go home at the end of the day didn't really interest me.
    3. Was the divorce due to cheating Amongst many other things, yes.
    4. Do you regret your decision No.
    5. Did you keep your married name? yes, easier on the kids that way, I remember the issues of having a different name from my family when I was younger.

    #2
    1 Split amicably? Not even close.
    2. kill each other during the process? No he tried to choke me before..hence the need for the process.
    3. Due to cheating? No, physical and mental abuse due to alcohol addiction. not to mention his mother. (she seriously contributed to our divorce)
    4. Regret the decision? No. It was the right one. I don't go to sleep scared anymore.

    5. Yes, as a reminder to never again be that stupid.

    1. Amicably: We did not split amicably. I split stealthily. . . with my son.
    2. kill each other: We did not kill each other. .I had my sword poised. . ready to deliver the fatal blow. . when she dropped to her knees and looked at me and asked me to have some mercy. . . I did. .It was a good decision.
    3. cheating: Yes. .it wasn't me.
    4. Regret: No I did what I had to do and I have no regrets.
    5. Maiden name: She changed back to her maiden name at first. .but then realized that I was a better friend to her than her own father was and changed it back before the end . lol. He disowned her and stopped speaking to her.. At least I engaged her and respected her as the mother of my son. .
  • 1. Did you split amicably- no. I waited till he was at work and bolted with police assistance.
    2. Did you kill each other during the process-no. Little contact as possible so there wasn't any time to get angry.
    3. Was the divorce due to cheating-Other than the domestic violence yes. He had a problem with trawling online.
    4. Do you regret your decision-Not for a single second ever.
    5. Did you keep your married name-Changed as soon as I could.

    1) Amicably? No not really
    2) Kill each other? No. We didn't speak so we got along great.
    3) Due to cheating? No, but rather than woman up and accept responsibility for her part in the failure of our marriage, she told anyone who would listen that she had caught me cheating.
    4) Regrets? Absolutely not. I have spoken to this person maybe 3 times for a total of 5 minutes since the day I moved out (1994), and my life is that much better for it.
    5) Name change? I had it included in the decree that she no longer use my name....she no longer deserved that privilege. (no children involved)

    It's not always sad. In my case, it was empowering. It gave me back my self esteem and provided the strength and the courage to escape a very abusive and controlling man. I do not regret for ONE MOMENT cheating on my ex. Truthfully, it probably saved my life.

    I do not believe cheating on my ex makes me a bad person. Nor do I believe in the tired adage about once a cheater, always a cheater. I am currently in a 17+ year relationship with a very loving and caring man. It has never crossed my mind to cheat on him.

    Yes, he's a decent guy. Just a horrible husband
    No

    1. Did you split amicably? We are OK, but I still think she a c*nt.
    2. Did you kill each other during the process. No. We agreed in advance on everything, so there was no fighting. I am a master negotiator, so it was easy because she's bad at it. Plus, I used her guilt against her.
    3. Was the divorce due to cheating? No. It was due to her being a stupid @$$hole.
    4. Do you regret your decision? I didn't have any say in the matter.
    5. Did you keep your married name? I'm a guy, so yes.
