If you could undo your divorce, would you do it? ( as miserable as the marriage was )

I don't understand that. Under Ontario family law, the assets accumulated during marriage are split 50/50.

That's right:
50%: wife
50%: split between wife's lawyer and your lawyer.

Maybe you're just one of those people who don't find love until later in life, when one knows more of what one really needs/wants. OR maybe you are just one of those people who like being alone and that's okay too. I'm sorry but I have to strongly disagree with you.

As a realistic and practical matter, a marriage relationship should be about attraction, compatibility, convenience, and near the top of the list - money.

I would wager that if we were to put your life under a microscope, we would discover that money triumphs over everything including the magical notion of "true love" for you. Talk is cheap, especially for women in your line of business.

My line of business??? Excuse me, you don't know me, or what I do, what a judgmental person you seem to be. I was single for 10 years and had many many many opportunities to sell out and settle for money, and never ever did. Money can't buy happiness, but it does help to live a comfortable life. I would gladly live in a paper box with the love of my life, then live a life of superficiality and with someone I don't love. Sorry you have judged me incorrectly, and I do take insult to it.

Turns out the only thing I miss about the man is his wallet, and money is not a good reason to stay with someone.

That statement sounds just like my ex, the lying, two faced, manipulative lowlife piece of garbage. She is definately a waste of oxygen on this planet.

I did get lucky by only having to pay alimony for 2 years. I had to start my life over again but it was well worth it and have enjoyed my freedom ever since. Still pisses me off that the bitch still gets to live using my surname though.

Well, being named Miss Piggy isn't exactly like winning the lottery.

I was married and divorced at a young age.

No regrets about the divorce; I cannot imagine how horrible my life would have been had I stayed married.

 

[Submariner]

Abso-fucking-lutely not. Should have ended it sooner. I thought it would be best to hang in until the youngest finished high school. But when the bat-shit crazy woman started to emotionally and physically abuse her own children, I had no choice but to get me and the kids out. (I like to call them "rescue kids"). Did it cost a lot of money?? What kind of question is that when protecting your kids from an abusive parent? We are all much, much happier now.

No way i regret divorcing my ex husband. I remember him always telling me that is easier to give up than to stay and work in your relationship. I tried taking his advice until he almost killed me.
After i left him (with 50 cents in my pocket) it take me a bit to get back on my feet but guess what, i'm much better and a much happier person now. The only think i regret is giving him years of my life. Having this experience it made me who i am today.
Probably he's the one who's regretting it for fucking up so bad and driving away the only good thing that he had in his live except his money, which i told him he can keep them.
So my advice for those who are in a miserable relationship is don't waste you time and energy. Money is not everything. Every minute counts and the time you spend with someone who doesn't make you happy can be the time meet someone that will make you happy. And also being single is not such of bad thing.
Be happy, life is short.

I know a guy in his early 50s, he often cries in his scotch about how miserable his life is after the divorce. He complains that he would have rather continued with his miserable marriage and not have gone through the pain and expense of a divorce. He said that if the marriage is over, do not get divorced. Just do the best you can and have adventures on the side.

For all the divorced guys, would it have been better to stay married and not divorce?

Lots of good opinions! Don't let this thread sink into oblivion.

Personally I agree and disagree with all of them since I still DO NOT have an answer myself. Still soul searching.. Still wondering if there is a Hell waiting for me once I'm done with THIS Heaven.
