aunt honesty agony auntIt should not matter what other people think about it, it is your life and something you need to take control over. If you are in an unhappy marriage and you have tried to make it work then divorce might be the answer. Try talking to each other maybe through therapy and see if that can help, sometimes couples just lose their way sometimes and they need some help getting back on track.

You can't remain married because if people's potential reactions.

Do you see yourself spending the rest of your life with him?

If the answer is no then you know what you need to do regardless of the negatives.

You only get one life and it would be sad to spend it miserablejust to keep up appearances.

I got divorced 25 yrs ago aged 25. It was the best thing I ever did so I have no regrets.

It was hard telling people and I didn't feel good about it. My parents were upset but they got over it in time.

I didn't feel anyone lost respect for me and the only negative comments I got seemed to be from people who were in unhappy relationships themselves.

I didn't stay in contact with my ex as there was no need to. We didn't have children.

I wouldn't suggest people should get divorced willy nilly but life is long and I'd rather have endured some unhappy months in my 20s than been miserable for the last 25 years.
