Has Anyone Had a Bad Experience with Marriage and is Now Divorced?

For a university assignment i am writing a feature about the Happy Wives Club and it's representation and ideas on marriage.

I would be greatly interested to hear people's views on the club and whether you agree with it.

the club is focuses all about making a marriage work and that divorce is NOT an answer.
What are divorced individuals opinion on this subject?
Is the club reversing us back to an age where women are slaves to their husbands?

If anybody is willing to share their experience and doesnt mind me using their insight in my assignment, then it would be great if you could leave your name, age, occupation and where you are from.

Thanking you in advance!

Suggestion:

Since I don't have a university assignment, I'm not going to read up on the "happy wives club".

But divorce exists because it often is the right answer. For those married to the people who are addicted to alcohol or other substances, it's often the only answer. For those married to abusers, it is definitely the only answer.

The emotionally and physically abusive don't change. They generally have personality disorders like BPD that are (a) untreatable and (b) characterized by refusing to get treatment anyway.

And that's why I'm divorced. It was that or a lifetime of abuse. Based on the time I spent in a support group for men and women involved with borderlines, age, occupation, and location are completely irrelevant; it can happen to anyone.

Not that I know of. I think everybody has a good experience with marriage and nobody divorces.

I'm currently trying to get it through my soon to be ex's thick ******* skull that I do not want her anymore. She has costed me too much over the years. But she refuses to let me go. Friends have already told her I don't love her, I have also told her the same thing, and yet, she refuses to leave me alone. I have sought a protection order against her for both myself and my new gf to an unsuccessful end. Only one thing left. And it would go against every vow I ever took upon my initiation into the craft.

im not leavin my info on an open sight but u can email me or im me and i can let u kno at lmmartinez89@yahoo i dont agree to it i think it bs cause some of us have to leave and those who choose to should b able to divorce is always an option if its for a good reason if its a just because reason then no there is no reason in divorce i am gettin divorced cause i had to for both me and my kids sake there are to many people gettin married just for the hell of it these days and its stupid but other than those idiots i think women should divorce if they choose to

I agree 100% divorce is not the answer – staying single is the answer

married 19 years and divorced a blissful 2

I've been divorced after 14 years of marriage, and now happily remarried for 14 years

I'm all for a club that encourages marriages to work, seeing how society bombards us with a steady drumbeat of anti-marriage messages.

My advice is to ward against being extreme.

Be careful of the advice that you're giving. Do your homework and make sure the group embraces solid and proven principles in marriage. As long as you're not presenting a subservient role of women who need to submit to the demands of an abusive husband, then you need not worry about reversing women back to an age of slavery. There is great dignity and honor for a married woman when her role is that of a valued partner ~ an equal to her husband.

You should also modify your focus about divorce not being an answer. Sometimes it is the answer. No one should be forced to stay with an unfaithful or abusive spouse. Even The Bible grants divorce for these kinds of reasons.

No, no one with a bad marriage experience is divorced.

What craptastic university are my tax dollar going towards that is making you write an essay/research paper on this drivel of a website?
