This article explores common regrets people have after divorce, focusing on communication, legal choices, and financial considerations. It also highlights the impact of divorce on children and the importance of seeking support and advice during the process.
From dating advice to money decisions, this is what people wish they'd done differently as their marriage came to an endseason. The first few months of the year are when most people act on their decision to split: in 2023, there were 28,865 divorce applications filed in the first quarter of the year: 16 per cent more than the number of applications filed between April and June.I have many regrets about my divorce 20 years ago.
But when it came to ending things one year later, in 2011, I didn’t even know how to ask for the financial support that I was entitled to. I was only 27 at the time and didn’t know what was possible – all I could think about was getting the divorce over and done with. I was left wondering why she didn’t let me go as soon as she knew she wasn’t happy. I only learned how she really felt years after we’d agreed to split, and I was incredibly frustrated – it would have been much kinder had she been honest earlier, rather than dragging out something that was never going to work.
I knew it wasn’t right and definitely not doable for him, but I was so vulnerable that I couldn’t think straight. She was a professional so I agreed with what she said. But it caused huge problems as he retaliated with a ridiculous offer.
