I'd respect people who can search for their own happiness, regardless of the situation. selfish, yeah, but in the end, you gotta be happy with your life, otherwise there's no point in doing what you do.
Wussies or not, is it seen as the easy way out? or is living miserably for the rest of your life seen as the easy way out because you didn't want to take the leap and strive for what could make you happy (or free)?

No, Divorce is not for "wussies" Divorce is, and will be the absolute hardest thing in "your?" life. It has life long ramifications,especially if "you?" have children. Being divorced, and a product of divorce, I am speaking from experience. 55% of all first marriages in America end in divorce, 85% of second marriage, you don't even want to think about 3rd 4th etc... That is not even mentioning widowed. Those are HIGH numbers. Really SCARY numbers. Really think/Pray about it. A lot. read Matthew 5:31-32. Seek out a Christian, (not weirdo) counselor to talk to. Really think about if YOU are doing all of YOUR part to keep the relationship healthy. REALLY. Make sure you are doing the BEST thing possible for your family, no matter what size your family is. TALK to your spouse, REALLY talk, not dictate. COMPROMISE COMPROMISE COMPROMISE! You obviously are unsure, so don't get in a hurry, no matter what society says. If SAFETY is an issue, GET OUT IMMEDIATELY! If this is an issue, M or F there is HELP EVERYWHERE!!! IMMEDIATELY GET HELP!!! Just don't throw away everything for some discomfort. The next time probably won't be easier. Good Luck, and God Bless You whatever you decide!!!

I think it takes more (cojones) to get out of a relationship than to stay and continue to suffer and be sad... I just left the house 2 days ago and am still worried and confused as to what the future holds but I'm getting out... it's really not easy. wussies take the easy route. by the way I think your saying doesn't apply in this situation. good luck!

i dont think divorce is weak people as you called wussies..however i do feel people need to take a chance at things all people change and all people aren't perfect....so if they let change or an imperfections put their mind at divorce then those people are just looking for a way out.....marriage isn't a game if your willing to become husband and wife...then you need to be willing to save your marriage regardless of what he or she has done....divorce is the weak persons way of running away from hard situations....but dont get me wrong if a person has tried their best and gave it their all to make things work and nothing has gotten better just worst then yes divorce is the best option...no one should be unhappy for the rest of their life...

I think it would depend on the couple. Some people just get married not knowing all that is expected of them in a real commited relationship. Others, it might be to escape from an abusive partner and then it's healthier for the person to be out of that kind of marriage.

The decision to get divorced was the hardest one I've ever had to make. I took a risk when I left. For me, that risk has paid off. Staying would have been easy, but I would have been miserable for the rest of my life.

If divorce is for wussies , then staying in marriages that are broken beyond repair is for masochists and sadists

I would have to say it depends on the situation of the couple. If there's constant cheating going on or if it's an abusive relationship, divorce is always an option.

divorce is an option that many take these days.... it is a shame tho.... but i do understand it is necessary and needed at times..... no argument there !!! but these days it seems, hey, we disagreed, so lets divorce and go to the next one.... the game of switch the partner ?? *sigh*, trust and faith have been lost it seems..... where is the back bone ? where is the fight to keep what is sacred ?? God bless

Are society is one of instant gratification. If its not working then leave don't bother trying to work things out. That said only you know what is best and what you are willing to do to to stay.
