    Married lurker here. Married now 47 years BUT I did go to see a divorce lawyer once on my own about 16 years ago. He explained all the financial aspects and I decided the "other woman" I was seeing wan't worth it LoL.

    A friend who had been divorced twice reassured me I would be back on my feet financially in two or three years. Decided to stay with the devil I knew.

    No regrets (but the affair sex was great)

    Divorced 11 years ago. I got married young. It was a bad idea. My BF and I recently broke up. A little over a month ago. It's really difficult to move on.

    It really is.. Even when you know it's the best decision it still sucks!

    Get well Muppy, difficult yes, but you're the boss of your life and you can do it

    Divorce is very difficult and soul crushing. As well as the new loves and breakups that come after. But, personally, I'm the happiest I've ever been!

    Name 1 thing that's better now that you're divorced?

    Mine is I can cook whatever I want for my kids and I.

    No more dirty looks and silent treatments. For "crimes" I didn't even commit. It was not my fault that he was so freaking miserable and would not do anything about it.

    There are lots of things,
    I enjoy choosing for myself,
    it's nice to hear my own opinion once in a while instead of just his.
    It's all whatever I want now.
    That sounds super but after 35yrs,
    It's difficult sometimes.
    For me, being over 50 and divorced is no fun at all.

    You go girl and have as much fun as you possibly can.

    Sorry to hear this. I was more lonely when I was married than I am now.

    Going through one, survived one (or two or three) or even thinking about one.

    I am going through one...and believing I am gonna be okay...that was my choice and I am much better off already!

    You got married when you were 15?

    Ooops didn't read that correctly. I just noticed you said "over 50" Never mind.

    I got married young as well. I was barely 21. Would have celebrated 27 years next month, but I'm getting divorced so I'll celebrate that instead.
