People get divorced for all kinds of reasons. I would like to limit this thread to just a small subset of divorces. I'm interested in the opinions of people who were in an marriage with little to no affection and that was pretty much the only problem. Basically, you would have been happy to be married if there was affection, but there wasn't, so you got divorced.
Do you regret getting divorced? Are you happier being on your own?
I'm in an good but affectionless marriage. Of course, there are normal incompatibilities, but the effect is so magnified because of the resentment from no passion. I often think about getting divorced, but I wonder if I would regret the decision. I'm in a 20+ year marriage and this problem has been going on for a while. I realized it wasn't going to get any better about 10 years ago, but by then we had a child and I didn't want her to be raised in a split family. Now that she is almost ready to leave the house, I'm thinking about what the future holds. I would be mid-50s and divorced and the thought of starting up dating then doesn't really sound all that appealing either.
I'm interested in hearing from people who were in a situation similar to mine and got divorced. What advice would you have given to the married version of you before you got divorced?
