Is it easier to get divorced than work it out?

I think it's actually quite hard to get a divorce. It takes a long time here and can cost you a lot. And of course, you have to divide up your household and you probably miss the good things about your relationship. It's also hard to maintain a relationship. People grow and change, and sometimes the person they become doesn't mesh well with the person their spouse became. And of course, there can be problem like cheating, financial difficulties, that sort of thing. I don't think either option is easier. I would hope that each couple has done what is right for them in the long run.

Cheating would be a deal breaker for me also. I think if children are not envolved it would be easier to just get a divorce. In some cases even if children are envolved it would be better to get a divorce. You don't want your children growing up in a stressful situation every day. They know what's going on. I sometimes think we don't give them enough credit. The couple will beable to truely determine what the best option is. They each know what their limits are. Somethings can be worked out and some can not. Best Wishes!

I don't think that anyone out there would love to go through a separation or divorce. Neither is it easy to work things out most especially if you no longer think that it could be worked out. I think it's sad when two people who were so in love in the first place would now be deciding to separate forever. It's sad but it's happening, it's reality.

I think that dovorces are made much to easy to get. it is more work and struggle and challenge to keep a marriage together than to just cut the ties forever. Anything worth saving is worth fighting for!

if both parties are willing to try and work it out, why not? but it's really not working out, it's best to just get divorced than make things more difficult for everyone involved. i am not a fan of divorce but sometimes, things get resolved through this

Some people say that marriage is the tomb of love.Why?When the man and woman live together,all weaknesses of them are exposed.They don't feel sweet again.If they are not understand each other.The marriage naturally come to the end.So marriage must be carefully,man ahd woman should think clearly whether they are approprite live together to get married.So we can avoid many unfortunately marriage.

Yes I agree and at times it does feel like that, marriage is hard work on both sides as it is and add a third party like kids or other woman it becomes a lot harder. For me deal breaker would be physical or verbal abuse from my partner and the other woman of course. I wont be able to handle that and certainly would leave him. And I believe he understands that and thankfully I am married to one of the most sensible ones and he is a gem of man if any one can be called that. Proud of my achievements and has trust in me and loves me and tells me that everyday, We had a lot of differences earlier and slowly with patience we sorted them out and again we have found each other. Our major point of difference was kids bringing up and we really fought over that he being a bit orthodox and of old school but now its all sorted out and we have found each other again.

Sometimes we need to do the hard thing and try to work out a relationship...especially when kids are involved. But if the best is done and the relationship still does not work out. Then divorce might be a good step.

Divorce might be the easier way out, but personally I think that it's more worth while to try and work things out. I think that it's better to try and work things out. Sometimes, it works, and other times, it doesn't. But at least there's the satisfaction of knowing that you tried.

Divorce is never easy...wedding is. Divorce has all its negatives while wedding has all the bliss and hopes to stay together til the end. It takes 2 to make a marriage work. If one is willing to save it and the other is not then no matter what you do to save it nothing will work out right. No matter how long you wait or how hard you try.

in my place the divorce bill is no yet approve and couples separate formally through annulment.it takes years and many court proceeding before one could get married to another partner. but i am in favor of divorce for couples who no longer feel happy with their marriage life. i think in other country before they would approve the divorce, the couple need to undergo like counseling so it is the way they could talk it over.

There are times that divorce is the answer and of course depending on it's nature and or just cause. I don't think anyone marries with the intent that if it does not work out we can just divorce. I would like to believe that all marry with the intent of growing old, but then events happen at times that causes the couple to choose that route. There may be some who prefer to divorce then to work out the issues but then do we know what that issue is. For instance there are situation where for the safety of the spouse and or children it is advised to let go, especially if the abuser is not willing to stop the behavior. I suppose unless we knew exactly why they divorced it would not be right to simply say they think it is better then staying married. Some couples do not convey the full issues of their marriage outwardly and from the outside looking in one can't simply say. For instance I did know someone who was being badly abused and no one, was ever told, until after the divorce therefore, unless in this case the abuser outwardly conveyed what he was doing and years after the divorce regrets his actions. In the interim none of us were aware and thought they had a good marriage.

Well, that's the downside of divorce. It is so convenient for the majority ,to just get divorced, rather than trying to work out the marriage.

It is easier in the short term to get divorced but in the long term you will be glad you stayed together. Just work it out. Try to remember why you fell in love with each other in the first place.

Sure, divorce is just a signature and "getting your life back". Of course it is easier. In fact, to get together is difficult. To get married, even more difficult. To maintain marriage is the most of all. To live with someone else is surely difficult thing and it takes a lot of effort to maintain it that way. I will say that if things don't work out. It is usually because both sides aren't working hard enough.

If it's worth it, fix it. If it's not then don't. That's as simple as it can get.
