Does Letting Go Of an Unhealthy Marriage Means You've Failed? by Nobody: 4:08pm On Apr 13, 2023
Have you ever been in a situation where you find it difficult to let go even when the situation is not making you happy?

Have you ever been with a partner with bad behavior and they are not ready to change and you're force to divorce and walk away, but deep down, you wish they could change for good, because you want a better life?

Have you ever been in a situation where you constantly nag your partner out of the house,but still wish they're safe. And want them back safely?

What of living with a partner where love, affection romance and all that are absent because your partner's bad character irritate you?

What did you do?

Could this emotional feeling, be a feeling that keeps people in an unhealthy marriage for the rest of their lives?
Did you walk away or did you stay even when you have no solution?

Does divorce really mean you've failed?

Does divorce mean you have failed in marriage?

Yes.

After all, divorce is the failure of a marriage.

The question should be 'is failure a bad thing'?

It depends on the circumstances.

For instance, failure is better than death.

Very wise words. Not all failure is bad.
Besides a first marriage failing does not mean a second marriage will fail
I cannot thank God for the number of times I failed in some aspects of my life, because every single time I failed hopelessly I got beautifully compensated.

1. Divorce instead means the strategy employed in your previous relationship failed, and you have a chance to do better in your next attempt. You do not divorce yourself from all marriages but from a particular marriage. undecided

So long as you are in this "error and contradictions" prone state called life, expect failures. If you take anu of it personally, you are bound to wreck yourself. If you pretend it all has no meaning, you fool yourself. Best is to take it for what it is which is an opportunity to learn from mistakes so you can move forward and make less of the same. undecided

Letting go of an unhealthy marriage doesn't mean you failed. It actually gives you the opportunity to reset, learn garner experience and fix any problem you might encounter in the future. You only failed in picking your partner. What most of the female do now, is just to marry the man that is available and can provide her needs without considering their compatibility. When you discover you guys aren't compatible, it's already too late.
Let's say the truth, money is important in every relationship, and it's a major factor in majority of the women picking their partner now, one thing y'all have to understand is that relationship isn't marriage, you don't spend frivolously in marriage the way you spend in relationships, bcus you no dey try impress anybody again.

Contrary to what people like to think, it actually takes a lot of courage to admit failure in any situation and walk away before the situation becomes even more toxic for self and those involved. It is usually the human ego that stops people from making a move toward change and this is typically based on erroneous convictions. There is absolutely no valid reason why a human should choose to remain in a toxic situation/marriage. There are lots of excuses but never really a valid reason. undecided

I'm not trying to argue with you I take God beg you but divorce simply means both the husband and wife have failed. No need for long grammar or motivational writeup about it.

Marriage is a treaty and they both signed to keep it running. In that treaty, there is no clause for divorce or I no gree again so going against it simply means they failed.

If they move on and succeed in subsequent marriages, that's gonna be a different topic.

I strongly encourage separation though, especially when physical abuse is involved.

▪︎ Divorce is a legal out designed specifically for the treaty that is marriage.
▪︎ Having a failed marriage, or business, does not cement one as a failure as far as even the one marriage he/she exited. There are so many examples of spouses needing to escape violent situations for no direct fault of their own.
▪︎ There are couples out there who eventually marry each other again after a time. undecided

I say all this to say that divorce, like marriage, in and of itself is neither good nor evil. It is simply an opportunity that presents itself to individuals who desire or have a need for it. undecided

What are five consequences of unhealthy marriage?
Anxiety and depression.
You lose touch with yourself.
Damage to your physical health.
Deep-rooted trauma in children.
Low self-esteem is a consequence of staying in an unhappy marriage.
You hurt yourself or people who are not even at fault.
A pessimistic outlook towards everything and everyone.

Yes! Capital YES! Because you should have done your due diligence plus Pray very well that the CREATOR of Humanity should Confirm to you that he/she is your Spouse before you married. But most Senseless start with Sex and the marry. Within the first few Years my marriage had serious Quarrels that almost scattered us, but whenever I remember that our CREATOR showed me Clearly that she's my Wife and non other, we always Pray together and ask our CREATOR to Destroy the Satanic Pride that was hellbent of destroying our Marriage. Many don't know that Marriage is a School where we Learn to be like JESUS, you will have to forgive the Pride/Stupidity of the other many times. And if you both have Child/Children together, looking at them with True Love would quickly settle the Demonic Onslaught that is scattering many Marriages in this End Time. Only shallow Souls can't see that Satan is the one personally Fighting every Home and especially Institution of Marriage as bedrock of Great United Godly Humanity which he hates with passionate Hatred because he is afraid of faithful Loving Humans multiplying and Covering the Earth as our CREATOR Commanded us. Billions of loyaly Married God-fearing Couple could decide to booth Satan out of his Enslavement of the World. That is why he deceived the World to think Land and natural resources are scarce, also see the way he's pushing Homosexuality, in some Countries as we speak Male Children and Secondary School Males are massively being lured to say they want to be females, after which they quickly cut off the Penis of those that sign the Documents, or their Parents signed on their behalf with big money as reward from the Satanic LGBTQ+. Happening even in an African Country already. Billions of faithly loyal Godly Marriages is the Greatest thing that Satan is most Afraid of, because such would soon booth him out of the Throne he's enjoying on Earth currently.

Finally, a Grandma was asked in America why the Marriages of their own Era lasted so long till Death do them part. She replied that "In our own Time, when something break down we don't throw it away, we Fix it."

Not when you have it your all and it still failed. It takes two willing people to make a marriage work.

No.

Divorce is legitimate lots of times. Imagine a scenario where information that would prevent you from getting married to your partner (eg she was a prostitute, or he was already married with kids in another location) was hidden from you. Divorce is justified in this case.

what's the statistics you used to analyze this failure in 1st marriage?

Most failed 1st marriages never succeed in the the subsequent ones.
