I am a statistic! A happy divorce is better than an unhappy marriage. Finding new love & happiness again that I never thought possible. If your marriage sucks, don't stay in it & continue to be miserable. Sometimes what you think is meant to be or what you want to be, just isn't. I took a leap of faith & met a man who is better to me than my ex-husband ever was. :)

    The day my divorce from my ex-husband was finalized was one of the greatest days of my life.

    Congratulations!

    Life is to short to be unhappy, especially with someone who makes you unhappy!

    Congrats!


    When people bitch about the high divorce rate, I say, GOOD. That means women don't feel like they need to stay in a sucky marriage to survive or avoid being ostracised. 
    I was nervous about the stigma attached to it & also I wasnt married that long but the thing is - happiness is priceless. I deserve this and I love my life now & my future looks happy & bright

    I love that you still have a wedding ticker in your sig.

    I like to think that it was a negative countdown: "Only X more days left of my marriage!" :P

    Hah, well that's b/c I am @ work right now and I don't have the time to figure out how to remove it lol. Also in a way you are right, for me it is a sort of a reminder of what I endured and how much stronger I am now b/c of it.

    I can totally relate. The day my divorce came through was such an awesome day, and the years after it were just as great too. I lost a ton of weight, reunited with friends I hadn't seen in years (that was through Facebook not divorce), but mostly I remembered how to be happy again. My marriage was abusive so happiness was not an option with him.

    Congrats on realizing that you deserve happiness!

    I cried when I opened the mail and saw my final divorce papers. Those tears were tears of joy and relief.

    Congratulations.  In my circle of friends, we throw divorce parties, complete with margaritas and gift giving (if anything, we think it's more appropriate to give a gift for a divorce than a marriage - usually in a marriage people are coming in with two sets of something already and there's a lot of "upgrading", but in a divorce you divided up your belongings and are walking away with only half potentially...so heck yeah I'll buy you a toaster). 

    It's not that we are hoping a marriage fails, but happy people don't get divorced.  So yeah, it sucks and it will hurt for awhile, but you're giving yourself a chance at happiness and that's a brave thing to do, so we celebrate it. 

    Louis C.K. said a similar thing in one of his comedy tours after his divorce:
    "Divorce is always good news. I know that sounds weird, but it's true
    because no good marriage has ever ended in divorce. That would be sad.
    If two people were married and ... they just had a great thing and then
    they got divorced, that would be really sad. But that has happened zero
    times."

    Welcome back, OAH. And I'm glad you're in a happy relationship and that you got out of a bad marriage.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
