Relationships: Marriage

Why do you want to do this?

Despite what I tell myself in moments of loneliness, I was not happy. He cannot give me what I need - because he really is incapable. He did not treat me well, and I made a mistake. I deserve to be happy, and I will be happier as an independent person free to focus on my own needs and pursue my own goals.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Get my financial and legal papers in order and contact a lawyer.

Meet with lawyer and sign paper work.

Be strong and maintain no contact: there is nothing to discuss.

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Myself. Fear of being alone.
