Private Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I really felt as if a huge weight was lifted from me after divorcing my sexual ex-husband. I loved him and respected him and really enjoyed spending time together with him except for the constant sexual tension. Since the divorce I feel so happy and light. I was always a very independent person and I lived alone for awhile prior to marrying so being on my own was not a shock and I really find I enjoy it. It makes me wonder why I simply did not throw the towel in sooner. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I am no longer stressed out about having to have sex. I am no longer having to argue about it. Or not wear comfortable clothing to avoid sparking his interest. I now have a partner who does not expect me to have sex with them. So... yes, happier. Link to post Share on other sites

I have hoot owls living in a tree outside my bedroom window and at night they call to each other. It's so cute. I am glad to hear you are happy, too. Link to post Share on other sites

BobRossRules Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I enjoyed being married, at least the companion/social aspect of it. However, the sexual tension ruined both of my marriages. It was such a center of contention, that my husbands grew very angry and resentful toward me, and even to the point of verbal abuse. So YES, I am much happier now that I'm single again. It was also a relief to discover the asexual community and to know the I wasn't alone. Link to post Share on other sites
Mocha Jo Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Divorced twice- you would have thought I would have learned the first time. And, yes, much freer without the expectation/dread of having sex hanging there in a relationship. I think on the whole I am getting used to being alone, but happier? I'm not sure. I really liked having another person around, in spite of the expectations. Link to post Share on other sites

yeehaw123 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think it really depends on the person and the relationship that they have with their partner. They may not want the divorce but the sexual spouse couldn't handle not having sex or other things. Link to post Share on other sites
