How do you divorce someone if you are all they have?

Answer 1

This is a super tough one and thank you for being one of the considerate ones about your mate's feelings. It's refreshing to hear! If you are man, then never underestimate the strength of a woman. Yes, you will hurt her, but the truth is the best. Before you make this final decision look a little closer and see if she has hobbies, meets with girlfriends, works, etc. If she does more than one of these things she will survive. If she is ill, well .... you said the marriage vows. Personally, if my husband were ill and I was unhappy I'd stick around because I meant those vows when I said them. If you are a woman, never underestimate a man either. People are stronger than you think. The above applies here as well. My suggestion is to go away for a weekend if you can ALONE and really think this out. Perhaps you are tired, feel dragged down and a little depressed. If you can honestly come back from the weekend and feel the same then you are just going to have to tell your wife your want a divorce. If you care for her as a friend you could tell her that you will come around from time-to-time to be sure everything is OK. That may give her some comfort.
