My Marriage Had To End—for My Life To Begin by Chizgold: 10:43pm On Dec 30, 2016
I never wanted to be divorced, but now I see that it was the only way for my life to truly begin.

There was a time when I would have rather been unhappy and unfulfilled than divorced, because it seemed that there was (and perhaps still is) a stigma attached to this sometimes necessary part of life.

I never wanted to be a divorcée—or worse a single parent.

So I dragged my heels as my marriage petered out to an end that was inevitable, taking so long because I was afraid of the next step in my life and my ultimate fear of: what if I’m alone forever?

I had built so much of my personal identity upon being coupled with another that I never had the chance to learn who I really am, so at the time my biggest concern was finding someone else to help me distinguish who I was.

Thankfully though, it was a concern of mine, and I was extremely selective in who I let into my inner circle, so I ultimately I’ve remained single since first separating from my husband—and though it wasn’t always easy, I now know that it was completely necessary.

If my marriage hadn’t ended then, I would have continued to be blocked mentally, emotionally, creatively and spiritually.

I would have grown as mossy as a pond in summer, green with stagnant waters that never move.

But it wasn’t the path that I was meant to walk, and though there were times when I found myself on my knees crying so hard I became breathless, it was all part of a greater plan.

During the first year after my divorce, I was in recovery mode—meaning that at times, it was a daily struggle to simply survive, even if I was smiling and laughing on the.......

I can't click on that, but one sure thing I know is that I can never be in a marriage where I get to shed tears all day or be unhappy, never. Do anyhow, I show u the doorway. We can manage the kids but my happiness can't be managed. Why am I hustling all day for? Why am I living if I can't be happy in my house? Mbanu

This is absolute bullshit!

This is how you brainwash your own self to make you feel better. Your marriage isn't the problem. Your marriage wasn't the problem. You stubbornly refused to discover yourself before you got married, and you used marriage as an excuse to stop learning or discovering about yourself! You also allowed your marriage to end. No fucking attempt to salvage or even save it. . . Who the hell said marriage is the end of anything? Wtf exactly do you want to discover about yourself after marriage, that you cannot discover while being married, and who the hell stopped you?

All you wanted to be, was divorced. People of the world today see divorce as a means to an end, like a proud achievement. . . A necklace, to be worn around the neck. Pretty much like suicide and people who commit suicide. Selfish fucktards_. The underlying trait is laziness, and giving up easily, believing "ending it all brings relief. But you forget how selfish this makes you. . . Did you think of your other half who must have been doing everything to make his marriage to you work? All those times he tried to make you happy, and all those times you refused to see reason, just because you believed divorce would make your life begin? Haha.

Who wrote this _shit?

Nonsense in all totality!

Well, not everyone is built to be married. Even the apostle Paul said it is good to be married but even better to be single but if you cannot control yourself sexually, then please get married (paraphrased)to the right one that holds your heart. Marriage is a school, it takes someone with a high grade of patience to actually learn and enjoy it
