DIVORCE doesn’t mean a failed marriage
DIVORCE doesn’t mean a failed marriage
We’ve been conditioned to believe that a marriage has failed if it doesn’t last forever.
I feel that a marriage leading to divorce can be complete & successful if it has achieved what it was meant to; NOT every marriage is supposed to last forever & it is okay.
I’ve seen many divorced individuals :
✔️ Evolving enormously post divorce as if it’s a rebirth
✔️ Transforming into a completely new individual
✔️ Feeling a renewed sense of energy
✔️ Taking a quantum leap in their thinking
✔️ Embracing new chapters of love
I believe divorce shouldn’t be a taboo anymore.
If a partner or a couple wants to break free from a marriage that doesn’t seem like love or aligned with one’s being, WHY NOT separate provided they’ve tried everything to make it work and are still suffering?
Where we fail as a society is when we tell others:
👉🏿 It’s okay. 99% of the marriages are like this.
👉🏿 Come on. Never think of a divorce.
👉🏿 Think about your child, compromise & stay.
By saying so, we just reinforce a belief in them that life is meant to be dysfunctional and unhealthy marriages are normal.
Can we stop? Is this how we are evolving?
@yashggorani I appreciate this post so very much. I cried to read it...
I was married 21 years and had 3 children. I went through one *** of a separation and divorce. I tried everything I could at the time to make it better. Did I do it perfectly? No. But I did the best I could. I heard all of these reasons and more to stay in a miserable marriage from people trying to convince me divorce was wrong. I was shamed and ostracized from church. I lost people I thought were friends.
Now it has been 8 years since I started the divorce. And I have grown so much and I actually like who I am now. I can say I truly love myself. And I never could before. I am awake and aware and loving life! I am not the same person I was 8 years ago.
So THANK YOU for the validation👸and for posting this because I am SURE there are many others who need to hear this message.
