Added 2023-03-09 16:40:40 +0000 UTCLast night I found my highschool set of scriptures. Inside was this paper that my dad wrote when he was a bishop expressing how grateful he was for his eternal marriage and how much happiness and joy it brought him. He encouraged all of the yo ung women to get married in the temple so they could have that same happiness and joy. This was pretty much what I've been taught my whole life. Get married in the temple, and you will be happy. Now that I'm divorced, it's like - well my chance of happiness is shot. They never teach you about what to do when things fall apart. I'm the only divorced member of my family. Divorce is foreign to us. I've had to navigate it all on my own. My heart sincerely goes out to all of the guys on here that I talk to who are Mormon and divorced, because it's like an additional pain, to know that you don't have the thing you've been taught for forever would bring you happiness. It messes with your brain and it's hard to rebuild a life when you've failed the one thing you were taught to do. Anyway, just some thoughts I had this morning. I'd love to hear what you think about it.
