I got divorced and I was the one who wanted it. It was the right decision. But you know I still was terribly depressed and sad once it became final. Part was that i really liked the guy at one time. Part of it was feeling like i was a failure. My family stayed pretty nuetral, but made it clear they liked him. what it felt like at the time was that they blamed me...so I imagine if they had really blamed me it would have been even harder! In fact my mother still has regular contact with his family.
It is a very dificult thing to go through and there will be a lot of feelings to expereince along the way....but eventually I did find peace with the decision and I do have a mostly happy life today
