Why go through all the mental torture? Why destroy your mental peace? Why scar your children for a lifetime?

Its 21st century and the stigma that comes with divorce is still there as it was ages ago. However, getting divorced is not as difficult as it used to be. No one likes to break their relationship on purpose.when two people are spending more time fighting and not talking to each other than having a good time together then they should find some alternate ways to make it work.

Go for couple counseling, try to make things work out, talk to your friends and family and try to come up with a good solution. Try your best to make it work. Think about the pros and cons of both staying together and parting ways.

If nothing works out and not together seeming to be the only way they do it, just do it. This life is short. You won’t get another chance at it. Don’t overthink. Don’t think about what people will say. I know its hard to say than actually do it. But why destroy your mental peace and your happiness by staying in a relationship that’s not giving you anything but pain.

You will be looked down upon

A sad reality of our society, a divorced person will always be looked down upon.whilethere are people out there who are not judgemental, but there are also people who won’t let you live. Who would keep talking behind your back? They will try to bring you down every time they talk to you. They will see you as a weak person. They will try to find some error in you. They will give a hundred reasons for your break up. Tell you what you should have done. Give you unnecessary advice. Tell you how wrong you were. Blame you for not compromising. Blame you for destroying your family. And a hundred other things to break you down.

But why listen to such people. Why pay heed to them. It’s your life. It’s about you. It’s you who knows what is best for you, not them. Nobody will help you but you, yourself. And it’s totally right to do what you think is right. Divorce is not something condescending. When living together is not bringing you any happiness and no other way is working out and you think divorce is the only solution then don’t be ashamed of it.

Don’t scar your children for a lifetime

When parents fight, they damage their children emotionally without knowing. Yelling, fighting, arguing and not talking to your partner, all these things damage your child’s personality and leave permanent scars that can never be healed and leave their effects for a lifetime, which make things difficult for them later on in their life.

I am not promoting divorce here, all I am trying to say is there is nothing wrong with getting divorced. It should be your last option but don’t think for once that being called a divorcée/divorcé would make you any less of a person. It’s your right to be happy in life and if divorce seems to be the only option, then do it without thinking it will make you inferior to anyone.
