Going through a divorce is one thing, but finding out your husband was having an affair is another story. When I discovered my husband was dumping me for a woman twenty years younger, I was outraged! Prior to finding out about the affair, I was unwilling to contact an attorney as it meant there was no hope for the marriage. However, valuable time was passsing and I had gone months with no money! Now I was ready to hire an attorney and fight for what I rightly deserved. Are you refusing to protect yourself and your rights to the marital assets? Tell me what you think.
The latest statistics tell us one half of all marriages will fail, and second and third marriages have even worse statistics. Should anyone even risk getting married, and what can we do to prevent divorce? The truth is that we have to begin with changing our thoughts. Thoughts are so powerful and if you continue to harbor disparaging thoughts and feelings of guilt and desperation, you will continue to make the same wrong choices. Every time you are aware of a negative thought entering your mind, mentally check that thought and replace it with a positive affirmation. Do not accept all the negative thoughts that have been holding you hostage and sabotaging your self-worth. Stop them immediately and set yourself free!
According to the US Census Bureau, half of all marriages for people under 45 years of age will fail. If you are heading towards your second or third marriage, the statistics are even more bleak, with a divorce rate of 60 percent. Younger people under 25 years of age have a failure rate of a whopping 85 percent! Does this mean no one should ever get married? What do you think about these statistics?
Thanksgiving
Nov 18
During these tough economic times, it is important for each of us to remember our many blessings. We live in a free country and even though we may not all agree on the decisions made by our ruling power, at least we have the voice to disagree. I am thankful for our troups fighting for what they believe is the preservation of our freedoms. They have chosen to put themselves in harms way to protect our homeland. When we sit down this Thanksgiving day to enjoy the blessing of family and friends, may we all pause and give thanks for our wonderful troups!
After learning of my husbands affair, I experienced extreme rage and anger. This was what finally motivated me to call an attorney. Anger pushed me to take charge of my situation and to stop kidding myself that he would return to the marriage. The ability to release our anger and move forward to make rationale decisions is the next challenge. What are you doing to let go of your anger?
