Divorce is better than a toxic marriage because it will help you bring the focus on yourself. Research has shown that women who are divorced and never marry again tend to spend happier lives than those who stay married to a toxic partner.

What is better divorce or staying married?

While some divorces are necessary, many marriages can be repaired. It may be difficult to face the issues that you and your spouse are struggling with, but research suggests that couples who can manage to stay together usually end up happier down the road than couples who divorce.

How do you survive a bad marriage without divorce?

One way to get out of an unhappy marriage without getting divorced (or even separating) is to practice detachment. If your relationship has been plagued with chronic annoyances and unresolved arguing, detachment can create some breathing room.

Is it healthy to stay in an unhappy marriage?

A 2002 study found that two-thirds of unhappy adults who stayed together were happy five years later. They also found that those who divorced were no happier, on average, than those who stayed together. In other words, most people who are unhappily married—or cohabiting—end up happy if they stick at it.
