DAE wish they’d settled earlier?

Same! So much same. I got married when I was 23, he turned 23 later that same month. I cared about him, but I was also just so lonely & tired of being single and guys only wanting to casually date or hookup. I wanted to get married to basically check that off my list. Now fast forward 7 years together, 6 of those married, with a lot of bad times & pain & resentment. We have talked about divorce many times over the years, and when I finally had the talk with him in February and had made up my mind I was really leaving, then this virus bullshit happened and now I’m literally stuck in the house with him. I wish I had gotten out sooner because god knows when this will all be over & I’ll actually be able to move on. I also feel like I wasted my entire 20s on a guy who wasn’t right for me, and I can’t help but worry that I missed my chance to meet the guy who is right for me. And I worry that maybe when I finally meet that guy I really like, he won’t want me because I’m divorced. Ugh I really regret my decision making.
