Divorcing my husband was the biggest mistake of my life… #shortstory #reddit

divorcing my husband was the biggest mistake of my life if I could give anyone a piece of advice for divorce it would be to not do it under normal circumstances if your spouse is beating you or threatening you or your children then of course get out and fast in my case there was no abuse we were together for eight years that was mostly good and we have four kids right around 5 years I got a promotion at work and I got it in my head that my ex-husband was dragging me down or at least holding me back from more success and a better life we never had a lot of money but with my promotion I was now making more than he was I started working longer hours and at the same time his hours were cut so was at home more I really began to resent him because he was home and because he got to spend time with our kids most nights when I got home they were already getting ready for bed if not already sleeping after a few months of my new job it was clear to me that things were not going well at home without me there Some Nights the dishes weren't done when I got home where the kids had not eaten or whatever else I could think of to be mad at him about it really didn't matter he kept saying that he would try harder but that it was hard being home all the time that always made me really mad
