Is it normal to regret my decision to divorce during or after my divorce?

During the divorce process, you may have ambivalent feelings. You may go back and forth and say "am I doing the right thing?" What you have to have is some consistency of feelings. You have to really, over time, think this is the best thing for me. You have to look at what your doubts are about. If your doubts center around your children's feelings, and when you see your children being upset you say "I shouldn't be doing this," that's different than a doubt that says I really miss my spouse because I love their sense of humor and I love their physical, affectionate side, and I miss them. That's very different. If the doubts are more about the external kinds of factors, they should be quicky dispelled. But, you're going to go through different periods of time. Overall, as a professional, I'm looking for your consistent feelings over time. Is it better for you to not be with this person than to be with them? If the answer is yes, you should not regret your divorce.
