What does divorce say about you?

It depends on who you ask.

To a married couple who is in their 50^th year of marriage, you might be a failure; a quitter.

To an unhappily married couple you may be viewed as brave and courageous.

To happily married couples you might be considered incapable of having a fulfilling successful relationship.

To people who aren’t married, and cannot understand the concept of a miserable marriage or marriage itself, they may think you are imperfect…(aren’t we all?).

Well who cares what they think.

And if someone is ignorant enough to judge you,  than they aren’t really a friend and cannot possibly care about you as they think they do.

Because unless you go through a divorce, there’s no way you can criticize.

If you are divorced or going through one, be strong against people's judgments about you and your divorce.

Understand that there are other avenues in your life that you were meant to travel.

Your divorce means that there are doors still waiting to be opened and more mountains still to climb.

It means these people don’t know enough about you and you already know a ton more about yourself after being on this journey.

Want to know what I really think?

Divorce says nothing about you…it’s just something you went through. 

Just like other’s go through bumps in life, this a bump in yours...

A hiccup, if you will…

And we all have them.

Stay strong and carry on.

 'We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.' - Paulo Coelho
