Divorce is not something that can be decided on the spur of the moment.
There are many married couples who stay together because they have grown accustomed to each other and no longer love each other. While love isn’t as important in a marriage as you might think, the foundation of any relationship is trust and respect. When one of these two things fails, the entire structure collapses. While it is possible for a relationship to thrive even after a partner has an affair, this is not very common, and the foundation is usually very shaky.
After all, just because you married someone and promised to stick by them through thick and thin doesn’t mean you have to give up every fibre of your being for them. Every relationship requires compromise, but what is happening in this one cannot be called compromise because it is all one-sided. The poster of this story, you see, wants to divorce her husband of twelve years. To be fair, that is a long time to be married to someone, so I can understand her reluctance to go through the legal process, but it appears to me that she has already made up her mind and only wanted some support.

A cheating partner isn’t a good one.
For those who don’t want to read the whole thing.
But I would recommend reading it fully.
We start off with getting to understand when they got married.
Only a few months later, he was caught cheating.
She tried to put it behind her and move on with him.
However, it was never the same after that.
And she can see a future without her current husband.
So she asked Reddit as to what she should do.
Cheating, in my opinion, should not be so easily forgiven. People who look outside of their relationship have never made sense to me. This is never acceptable unless you are in a consenting polyamorous relationship. I understand that some people do it solely for the thrill and adrenaline rush. However, if you are bored with your current hobby, you should look for a new one. I believe she deserves better and should be able to live her life for herself. After all, it doesn’t appear that her husband is particularly excited about living with her either.
Most if not everyone was on her side.
He didn’t keep his vows, did he?
It is time to let go of this painful relationship.
Divorce seems like the best option right now.
Life is too short to waste on a person you don’t care for.
A lot of people were confused about this point.
But it is clear that he has continued his affairs behind her back.
What are your feelings about this relationship? Do you believe she is being too hasty and that she should continue to work on the relationship? Or do you believe they should divorce and go their separate ways? Have you ever been in a situation like this before?
