'I left my attorneys office… and couldn't stop smiling': Happily divorced women share their 'epiphany' moments when they realized their marriage was finally over

What were the questions you asked yourself when you started to feel ready for marriage? Did you even have a chance to think about it? Getting married can feel like falling down Alice's rabbit hole. The feelings are chaotic and confusing and you think that it's love, but years down the line you either it never was or you realize you've lost that love. It's one of the most stressful epiphanies anyone can have. Yet, once you accept that your once idyllic marriage is over and you embrace the new path you must take, things can actually start to feel brighter. That's the point of an epiphany, you have this shocking realization and it's up to you what to do with it next, and it usually isn't an easy decision. Though divorce can feel dark and hopeless, divorced women have gathered on Reddit to share their epiphany moment and how divorce was not only the right decision for them, but also, eventually, a choice that made them the happiest.
