1. Your spouse is abusing either you or your children: This could be a life or death situation for you. If anyone¡¯s health or well-being is in danger, a divorce may be your only option, and is probably a good idea. You should rethink things even if the abuse is only verbal, because many times verbal abuse turns into physical abuse. Unfortunately, in an abusive situation, obtaining a divorce can be as dangerous as staying, but there are many foundations and organizations out there to help you safely escape.
2. Your spouse was unfaithful: It is certainly between the two of you what happens next, but an affair is a signal that your spouse is inconsolably unhappy in the relationship. It¡¯s up to you whether the relationship can be saved or not, but follow your heart. You may never gain back the trust you¡¯ve lost in them and that will forever affect the relationship.
3. Your spouse doesn¡¯t want to have children¡ªor you don¡¯t and they do. Either way, this is something that will always cause a rift between you. If one spouse truly wants children and the other truly does not, neither party will ever be genuinely happy. While it may not have anything to do with your love for one another, it will have a lot to do with your mood. If you are always even a little depressed about whatever decision you made about children, it will have adverse effects on both of you.
4. You¡¯re spouse lies to you¡ªespecially about things that adversely affect your daily life, like lies about money, friends, their job, their drinking habits, etc. If the lies they tell have hurt you or your children, or have embarrassed you in any way and your spouse doesn¡¯t seem to feel remorse for telling the lies, it shows that they can¡¯t be trusted. Your relationship will only get rockier from the first lie on.
5. You just don¡¯t get along¡ªand you¡¯ve already tried counseling. Not every marriage is salvageable. It¡¯s a harsh truth, but needs to be said. Sometimes people fall in love when they¡¯re young, and they could truly have been in love, but they just changed as a result of getting older. It¡¯s a natural evolution and you may not recognize it at first. Sometimes individuals can change so much that their personalities may not mesh with people they used to mesh with.
Five Bad Reasons to Get Divorced
1. You want to be with someone else: If you¡¯ve had an affair, you should probably come clean with your spouse about it. This might result in divorce, but you shouldn¡¯t instigate the divorce in order to be with the other person. You will most likely regret this later. If you¡¯ve only been having fantasies about being with someone else, then you truly should not consider divorce. Not only do fantasies not mean anything (and are perfectly ok, so long as you don¡¯t act upon them), but you don¡¯t even truly know the person you¡¯re fantasizing about and it may turn out that you don¡¯t like them at all.
2. You¡¯re bored with your spouse: All marriages certainly experience some lulls from time to time, whether sexual or otherwise. But, this is no cause for divorce. You and your spouse should discuss any rut you might be experiencing and work together to get yourselves out of it. There are countless books and articles dealing with this exact problem and they have great ideas for you to try.
3. You¡¯re unhappy: If you aren¡¯t happy with the way your marriage is going, or if you feel depressed about the way your life is going, you don¡¯t necessarily want to get a divorce. You and your spouse should always talk things out and work on problems together. It is possible that your spouse is feeling the same way. And there are many therapists and counselors out there that specialize in helping married couples work out their problems. Before you see a lawyer, see a counselor.
4. You don¡¯t like your in-laws¡ªand your spouse never defends you in front of them. The fact is, when you marry your spouse, you also marry into their family, for better or worse. Try to sit down and have a chat with any problem in-laws. Explain to them how you feel, why you think you feel that way, and that you¡¯d like to change things. Chances are, they didn¡¯t know you felt that way. Your spouse most likely sides with their relatives in fights or misunderstandings for one simple reason: blood is thicker than water. If it really hurts your feelings, hash that out with your spouse.
5. You¡¯re having financial trouble: Your marriage is bound to go through some tough times. And, money is one of those things that causes trouble. If you find that you and your spouse are constantly fighting, try to dissect the fights and if most are about money, try to calmly discuss your financial situation. Things will improve and you would be sorry if you got divorced over something so trite. |
