To wonder if anyone regrets getting divorced?

[NameChange1999]

My 4-year-old marriage is crumbling and I'm on the precipice of a divorce.

There's been no infidelity, or abuse, or financial problems. We don't even have kids. There's just a loss of emotional and physical intimacy.

My DH is a kind man, and I wonder if I would regret divorcing him. I read somewhere that 55% of people do end up regretting their divorce.

Is that true? Do people regret divorcing their very kind but physically distant partners?

pinkpixie83 My words exactly. I've also found it hard to move on.

As much as I didn’t want my ten year relationship to end, I was fairly confident that I had done all I could have done (including counselling). I think it’s telling that divorce has crept into your headspace before attending counselling, what scares you about counselling so much that Divorce without it, could be a possibility?

There’s little to regret about trying your best and it not being enough but plenty to regret, if you were too scared to try because the option made you uncomfortable.

I think that to have the sexual connection you need to admire him, trust him as a person who will act as a good partner and respect him.

If you are already seeing him like a little brother, the attraction won’t come back.

If you don’t have children yet, don’t bother trying to save it if you are beyond it. It is not worth it, it will fail anyway but things will be much much much more difficult.
