I agree with you there are so many people that just rush into divorce and they don't try to work things out and stick with it. Yet there are others that need to get out of a bad situation. I recently went to a focus group about divorce and some of the comments I heard were; I was relieved, more at ease, alive again and it was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.

I'm not an advocate for divorce. I love the idea of love and I wish all people could stay married forever, but the reality is 50% of marriages don't work out and for those women that are hurt, confused and need a little help...there is hope. firstwivesworld.com

I think that each situation is different and each woman is different. We all rush into things whether it be divorce or even marriage. The most important thing is to work through it and find out what is best for you in your situation. Sometimes divorce may be the answer, I recently was able to witness a conversation between a few divorced women that really struck me. A few of them were in both physically and verbally abusive relationships, those are instances where divorce is necessary. The most important thing is to have help and support and community going through your process. Whether that process be working to repair and sustain your marriage or working to get a divorce as easily and come out as unscathed at possible.

Antonio was right, www.firstwivesworld.com is hope.

I find that partner's that are considering divorce often receive advice from others. Unfortunately, the advice does not contribute to effective decision making. An individual that is "on the fence" does not need to be pulled to one side. This will only result an internal counterargument. Instead, the ambivalent partner needs to be encouraged to make an effective decision, which means avoiding making a decision too quickly or too emotionally.

Your still not talking about Depression when taking about divorce. Huge mistake! Sincerely-David Petropoulos
