Re: A better wife?
Yes, if I were cheated on or beat by husband, I would most definately end my marriage. Especially for the sake of childrens safety and well being.
My own parents divorced when I was 15, after 3 seperations, and repeated tries to “make it work”, so I do have some frame of reference. Thank god there was no infidelity or domestic violence in my parents case..but still, the best thing they ever did for us was divorcing. I know what it’s like to grow up in a home where parents are unhappy with eachother and always at odds, and it was far better for us to go back and forth between ammi & papa than it was to live in a miserable, tension filled home.
I most definitely am not an advocate of divorce, and I let my husband know from day one, that no matter how bad things get, I don’t want to hear the “D” word from his mouth ever EXCEPT in the two scenarios I have already mentioned. However, I will say that divorce does not always have to be the negative, end all death sentence that our culture makes it out to be.
Everyones situations and families are different, and decisions should be made based on that.
