Anyone ever regretted divorce??

I asked my husband a fortnight or so ago that I wanted to separate and have some time apart. He refused. Accepted that he hadn't been an easy person to live with etc and the state of our marriage was his fault but that one more last chance and he promises he won't go back to how he has been. And if he does then he'll move out. I told him fine but he needed to give me space if he wasn't prepared to move out.

He's given me no space and he's being an absolute nightmare to live with. Swinging from being the nicest and best father/husband to being an arse coz I don't want sex with him etc.

If I come right out and just ask for a divorce has anyone ever regretted it? I'm just a bit of a mess right now and swing between crying/angry/depressed. We have 3 young dc and they are my biggest concern obviously.

Well he come home and promptly fell asleep last night while I was sorting the little one out and I'm not cruel enough to wake him up and I'm working late tonight so he'll probably be asleep time I get home.

Tomorrow night it is then! Is it wrong I don't feel upset but more relieved and at peace with my decision if that makes sense?! Thanks Confused

I don't regret the divorce but I regret dumping the first man I met following the divorce. I know I was vulnerable now and probably rebounding but he was the most lovely man I ever met so thought there would be loads more just as lovely as him. How wrong I was. I ended it because I wanted to play the field and to be perfectly honest was enjoying the attention but almost a year has passed and I haven't met anyone even close to him :(

Nope, he wasn’t abusive, just a lazy man child. DD and I are both so much happier a year on. It was sad but also a huge relief.
