Isandriena Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I am 24 years old. I was with my ex for 6 1/2 years when we split up and married for only 9 months. It's been 8 months since we seperated and I am in the process of a divorce. I am having a really hard time dealing with the fact that I'm getting divorced at 24 years old. I am very ashamed and feel like I've somehow failed. I have no one that understands how I feel because no one is currently in the situation. He was the love of my life and dealing with that and knowing that id eventually have to divorce him has been so emotionally draining and I just want to find someone who is or has gone through a divorce at a young age. Thanks.
TaraMaiden2 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I divorced at 22. Best decision I ever made. Still had a whole life ahead of me to rectify my own errors, AND find a wonderful man. It's not a failure to get divorced at such a young age. It's a failure to NOT get divorced even though you know it would be the very best thing you could do. THAT'S 'failure'. 1
Author Isandriena Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 I know in the long run it was a good decision to divorce. I wasn't treated right and he didn't deserve me but it's just really hard dealing with it because I don't have anyone that understands how I feel.
LoveMyCat Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Better now, than waiting until kids are involved. Don't worry so much about what others think, do whatnis best for the many years of your life ahead of you. I had a brief marriage when I was young, divorced at 26. Lived my life and barely thought about that marriage again, to be honest. Now I do not even know if he is still alive. That may sound harsh but it all happened 30 years ago, I have had another whole life since then. The pain and humiliation will fade, just do what you have to do, and move on. 1
