Eight Feelings About Divorce that are Completely Normal

Divorce Word Cloud ConceptWith almost 55% of all Americans ending in divorce, more couples than ever before are having to call it quits on their marriage. While it might seem like a large number, it’s important to remember that often times people change which affects the marriage. While you’re going through the divorce, you’ll likely experience some of these emotions – but don’t worry, they’re completely normal.

Anger: One of the main emotions that comes with divorce is anger; often stemming from the hurt and betrayal that many feel throughout the divorce – it’s completely normal to be angry with your ex-partner, especially if separating wasn’t your idea.

Guilt: Many times feeling upset about “breaking the home” can come at a fast rate. Feeling guilty is completely normal, but it’s important to remember that your happiness is more important than any home you might have.

Anxiety: Having anxiety about going through with the divorce (maybe living on your own or having to be single after so long) can be a hard emotion – but it’s completely normal to feel that way. Worrying about how you’re going to manage is one thing, letting it control your life is not healthy.

Grief: It’s normal to grieve the loss of your family unit and relationship, especially if the divorce wasn’t your idea. While many times it’s an important part of the separation process, it should never consume you.

Betrayal: Depending on why your divorce is ending, the feeling of betrayal can often come into play much sooner than you think. This is especially true if you’re ending the marriage due to infidelity or “falling out of love”.

Happiness: Many individuals are surprised at how happy their mood is once they’ve started filing for divorce. This is true for couples who have been stuck in a bad place for quite some time and can’t continue living the same way any longer.

Relief: After going through the divorce process many are relieved once the documents have been finalized. Symbolizing a closed chapter in their life, many work on picking themselves up and moving on with the rest of their life.

Indecision: Wondering about whether you’re making the right choice is normal, mainly if you have children in the home to consider. Many times people believe they need to “stick it out” and wait until the children have left the home – which isn’t fair to the entire household.
