How do you know divorce is the right thing to do?

When my ex-wife requested one, that made me know it was time. ;-)

I’m not divorced, but I know for two friends of mine they lost respect for their husbands and their life was more work being married than being divorced. One of them finally did the paperwork when she realized if she kept waiting he would be entitled to half of her social security, and the idea of that drive her crazy, because one thing that really annoyed her was that he barely worked.

When my then husband said he thought we should get divorced.

I am not divorced.
My friend told me that she started to get a clue when he would sing “Please Release Me” after their disagreements.
:)

Pretty much the same as what @Brian1946 wrote.

We had gone to marriage counseling, and the counselor asked each of us “Do you want to work to save this marriage?”. I said yes. She said no.

That was pretty much the end of it.

When being with them is MORE trouble than being without them!!!

For me, it was when he left his girlfriend’s panties under my pillow after screwing her in my bed!!!

When my first husband stole from his employer and got fired, when my second husband ran off with our housekeeper/nanny., I filed for divorce.

When too much sacrifices were made by me and the kids.
When husband gone 95 % of the time.
When husband didn’t act like a husband.
When husband never grew up, it was as if I had another child to look after.
I worked 10 of the 11 years of our so called marriage and saw little in return.
I t was better to be running the household finances myself and providing for my kids better without the tension in the family whenever he came ( if) home.

Gosh. We were married 10 years. At 7 years in he got seriously wonky. I spent the next 3 years warning that this is bad, really bad.
He ignored me, kept doing what he’d been doing for 3 years (screwing other women) and when he got more macho shit out of screwing other vaginas than his wife’s I cut him loose. The kids stayed with me.
He lost.

Think of it as being stuck in the mud, and you’re trying to do right. But all you’re doing is spinning your wheels. That’s when you know it’s time to get divorced.
