People who have been married for a long time know that family life is not a fairy tale. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for loved ones. This is exactly what the heroine of our story did, staying married for children. At an advanced age, she said to herself, “I want to divorce my husband.” But now she doesn’t know whether she is happy with the decision.



Editorial "Site" He's sharing this story with you. Maybe you can give some advice to a woman.

I want to divorce my husband and I recently retired. I always thought that after this life becomes calm and measured, but I did not. Everything's changed. And deep down, I'm happy about it, but nobody understands me. But it's all in order.

I was born and raised in the village. There she met her future husband. He came from a well-to-do family that owned land, so my parents urged me to get married faster. At first I was happy, but over time I realized that this is not my man. But no one in the village divorced, it was not accepted. That's why she kept living like everyone else.



We soon had children. I immersed myself in taking care of them. Although here all the time I listened to what a bad mother, mistress, woman and person in general I am. That’s when I started dreaming about divorce. But no one would understand, so I decided to wait.



When the children were already going to school, I inherited an apartment in the city. My family and I decided to move there. It was like a breath of fresh air for me. I quickly found a job. It was my outlet. But my husband couldn’t live in the city. If he found a job, he quit quickly.



I was the only one who made money in the family. However, even in this situation, his constant reproaches against me did not stop. It's hard to admit, but I've lived my whole life with a man who didn't value me. But then I couldn't leave him without hurting the kids with our divorce.

The children grew up and started their families. And I never got divorced. How do you divorce someone you’ve lived with for a quarter of a century? My husband forced me to take this step.



I want to divorce my husband! I recently retired. However, this decision of my husband did not suit. He immediately asked, “Where are you going to work now?” We have to live on something! I looked at him and knew he was a stranger to me. In a lifetime, there is nothing to remember, only reproaches and scandals. Is that how I want to live the rest of my life? And I realized that's not what I wanted.

In response to his statement, I simply said, I want to divorce you. I'll pack your things, go to your mother's village. That's what I did when I escorted him out of the apartment. Honestly, even breathing became easier. I thought this was where my new life would begin. I was faced with a total misunderstanding.

The kids call me every day and ask me to take it back. My daughter scolded me and said she was ashamed of me in front of my mother-in-law. In general, they say that it is not at my age to show such concerts. And I'm really sick of all this. Because I don’t want to go with him, I have a chance for a new life. Don't I have that right? I hope I have the strength not to fall for their persuasion.



We believe that the woman made the right decision. Perhaps the only decision in her life that stands up for her. Some will say it’s selfish, but we don’t think so. She just wants to be happy and has every right to be. The kids are grown up and they can do it somehow.

What do you think about that?
