Happy About Divorce

Was anyone else super happy and relieved about getting divorced?

I married my almost ex last August and left in February. We had been together almost 7 years and have a 5 year old daughter. Our relationship was not the best. Even in the beginning there were red flags, and I honestly knew walking down the aisle that I shouldn’t have married him. I was pressured into marrying him because he’s a pastor and we had a child out of wedlock and it was the “right thing” to do. I eventually left because he had sent me a drunk text saying he was in love with another woman.

Since I left I have been really happy. I am living with family for the time being and have some financial issues, but other than that I’m super happy. I just turned 30 in March and I feel like I have so much opportunities ahead of me. I met a guy in April and it’s been refreshing. He’s everything I’ve always pictured myself wanting in a man.

I’m just really happy and I see a lot of women just so upset about their divorces. I know divorce affects people differently, but I just wanted to know if anyone else just felt. . . Free?!

I did love my husband at one point. But there’s just so much negative history that if I explained it I feel like people would be like girl you should have left a long time ago lol.
