It seemed like a good idea at the time. Now, two years later, I hate my life. The process to end a marriage sucks and takes forever especially if your partner doesn't also want to get a divorce. I feel trapped. Anyone else ever experience this or have any advice for my situation?
I honestly don't get why people treat divorce as an end of the world. Do you go to the same restaurant twice if you hated it the first time? Perhaps. You might give it a few more tries, but you won't do this till the rest of your life though if it still sucks. You can only make someone happy if you're happy yourself, so don't take your wife's opinion into decision making parameters.
What if our family owns the restaurant ? Relationship are hard to break and lot of procedure is involved. I am sure if you have to pay tons of money, lot of paper work and minimum 6 month of eating in a restaurant to try again, you will say what the heck , I am just gonna eat here
So basically what you're saying is there will be some complications. Yes, it's life. Suck it up and move on. Relationship are easy to break, way more easier than some people want them to be. Bureaucracy and other complications around marriage/divorce are hard to resolve fast, yes. I guess you don't dislike "the restaurant" that much or are just too lazy if you're ready to spend your life going there. If it's the first one, there is a hope relationship will survive and even might grow back into something nice, if it's the later, well, that's just sad.
She robs you of solitude while not providing companionship. Tough spot.
How old are you?
The cultural pressure and upbringing messes the whole thing up and you end up feeling guilty one way and trapped the other. God forbid there are children and a fucked up spouse to really fuck your head up. I dont understand why people can't just be open and accepting to such changes. You wouldn't have to marry or divorce. You could be a much better parent to your chikdren. A great friend to your former love that cares and helps. Instead you have dumb asses with their little egos and a fucked up attitude ruining lives in the name of some stupid tradition that will eventually die anyway.
Tell us how and when everything went south
Ya need a singles vacation. Or some meditation. If all else fails try marriage therapy before ya visit quitsville.
If you are Indian... take care... you will end up having a lot issues... I am going through it I know it
😂
Divorce sucks. But you get through it. Honestly after you file, and find a new place to live etc. it can be liberating. 2nd time around and I’m much happier.
OP, why do you feel trapped? Do you want other women or just hate your wife?
But if you get divorced you’ll miss out on all those sweet tax breaks for married folks
There are no breaks if the combined income is higher than 150K
Well depends on how much your spouse earns, whether it’s going to be advantageous or not
