I'm so broken

So, I'm getting a divorce and I'm miserable. He came to pick up some of his stuff because we are getting evicted (whole other story) and I just feel like I'm in a free fall. I'm so sad. I feel so stupid for getting married in the first place. I have this feeling like I'm not supposed to be happy. I really didn't think this one would fall apart. I've never been married before, but I've had children with other guys and been in long term relationships. I never even wanted to get married before. Now I feel so stupid for thinking I could ever be happy.

Don't lose hope. It is of course natural to be miserable, but don't let a bad situation conquer you. We are all here for you!

Emotions has to be directed towards your new settled goals and approaches, rather then what has gone. prepare yourself now.

I'm really sorry that you're in this situation. Divorce can be hard. You aren't stupid for being in love and thinking that this would work. Things don't always work out the way that we imagine them or expect them to. Life is crazy like that.

You weren't stupid for thinking you could be happy. Nobody knew that you would end up getting a divorce and be unhappy. We enter into a relationship, get married, hoping against hope that it is our happy ending. And when it doesn't, well it's not our fault. But I truly understand why you feel that way. Hope you will find your happiness someday, married or not!

I am so sorry. I know how you feel buthat don't feel stupid. You never would have known unless you tried. Everybody wants love and happiness. Nobody knows what the future holds or how things will change. You have no way of knowing. You just put your heart out there and take a chance.

I am sorry to hear this. Don't blame yourself for getting married to him. It happens for a reason. Now, you need put back the broken pieces as a whole.

Divorce is hard and not easy at all. I was married very young and had our daughter. 13 months later he is gone, I am divorced and I have a small baby. Life isn't at all like we thought ti was to be. I kept going and raised my daugher on my own. I never wanted to be married again. Now I am in the best relationship ever. You can find happiness. It normally comes when you aren't looking.
