To think you regret getting divorced?

[JoJoBluee]

Any people out there who got divorced and now regret doing so?

If so, what was the reason for divorce and why do you now think maybe it wasn’t the right decision?

Been divorced twice.

No regrets.

Just regret that both husbands hadn’t been able to do better.

Also twice for me. Don't regret the first one, I was young and stupid. Stbxh left me for a younger woman in January and I don't think he regrets it either.

No regrets whatsoever

Zero regrets!

I‘m not divorced but surely it’s like any relationship breakup, you might regret it if it want your choice or you might regret it for the fact it didn’t work out.

Don’t regret getting divorced just wish I hadn’t married the twat in the first place.

No regrets here - just wish I had done it earlier!

I regret it took me so long.

Nope. Getting married, now that was the mistake.

Under what circumstances would someone regret getting divorced? It’s not a decision you can make in an instance. I’m confused by your post OP, care to elaborate?

Same here.

I doubt many people regret being divorced as that would mean they are still in love their ex.

I imagine many people regret being in the position they had to get divorced.

No regrets. It took me a very long time to be ready to do it but once I faced it head on I didn’t want to turn back to the hell that was my life before.

I've been divorced five days!!!! Should have done it years ago.

Zero regrets.

My only regret is trusting a lying cheating knob!

My only regret is the financial aspects - otherwise getting divorced is one of my better decisions.

I regret that I made a stupid decision to get married which meant my dc didn’t have the full 2 parent upbringing but I don’t regret the divorce. Given the circumstances, divorce was the only option and I don’t regret that at all and we’ve all made the very best of that circumstance

No, it was like being set free.

I didn’t ask for a divorce until I was certain it was done. Felt like we had tried everything - joint counselling, individual counselling, date nights - he had just withdrawn and couldn’t be arsed to try any more.
Actually there’s not a day goes by that I don’t think ‘I’m so glad I divorced him’ when I think of all the awful things he said and did.
I’ve found it difficult to come to terms with living on a low income (he pays a reasonable amount of maintenance but with COL increase money is very tight), I wish I could offer DD more opportunities sometimes, but she’s much happier now and you can’t put a price on that.

No regrets..
Wish I'd done it sooner

So far it is pretty unanimous. I should’ve added to my original post, but given the responses so far so you mind also sharing the main reason for divorce?

Married 24 years, separated and now divorced for 2. No regrets but sadness, because the relationship had some good aspects but also a lot of apathy and some controlling/abusive behaviour on the part of xh. He is a better ex than he was a husband, which can be confusing, but if I think hypothetically about getting back together with him, I know nothing would be different and I instantly reconnect with the weight of anger and unhappiness that I was carrying around with me for years. It's tough financially but then it was tough financially to be with him as well. At least now I can make choices that work for me and be in control of how they pan out.

I will never stop being sad about my divorce, but it's a complex thing rather than simply being sad because we are divorced. I'm sad it all went wrong, I regret the things that made it go wrong, I'm sad we both changed so much which meant we couldn't repair it and ultimately made him look elsewhere. I'm sad because we were so happy when we got together. I'm sad that I will never know that kind of youthful happiness again. But you just have to move on.

I divorced my ex dh because I was basically a single parent, living with a man who was work shy, who did very little around the house and refused to get help for his mental health!
I don't regret divorcing him but also don't regret marrying him (I loved him very much for many years and had 2 dc with him)
