Break or divorce

[Unwife]

Why did you chose to have a break instead of starting the divorce proceeding straight away?

Ive been with my husband for 23 years, married 10 years. Got 3 children and our house is already on the market before i decided do i want to carry on with this relationship because he been gambling, whenever he get stressed (full of excuses) on and off throughout our marriage. I was just being a soft arse but had enough!!

Thanks

It sounds like you are doing the right thing. I divorced straightaway but my friend hasnt started after 2 years since she initiated split so I guess people go at own pace.

There is no right or wrong way just have to do what you think is best for you…

My husband and I separated first, but this was mostly because where we live we have to be separated for a year before starting a divorce proceedings if it was a "no fault" divorce. However, I really did not care about divorce, I just did not want to live whit him anymore. I do not plan on getting married ever again.
