For the last few months, things in the relationship have been pretty difficult, and thoughts about divorce keep coming up more and more often. Maybe I'm just tired of constant arguments. Maybe I'm just tired. I'm scared that I might regret this decision later. How did you know you were really ready to call it quits?

I think if you're asking yourself that question, then the decision probably hasn't fully matured yet. I was in a similar place, but over time I had fewer and fewer doubts. Some friends of mine actually came to the opposite conclusion and decided they weren't ready to get divorced and wanted to try improving things. Don't rush yourself. Talk it through one more time.

Nobody can give you a universal answer. I went back and forth for several months between "we need to get divorced" and "what if we can still fix this." At times it felt like I was rushing things and everything was actually fine. But there were still way too many bad days. By bad days, I mean the ones where we argued over everything and nothing. Once I realized the reasons stayed the same no matter what mood I was in, it became easier to make the decision. I started preparing the documents through yourforms.com. It's not a law firm, it's just a convenient website for quickly filling out the forms you need. Honestly, once I started doing that, I already felt some relief. That's when I realized I was making the right decision.
