A divorce you can't decide

I'll talk about it as it is. My husband's debts have been discovered, and I'm considering a divorce. Of course, debt isn't the only cause. My husband loves women, gambling, and alcohol, and I've shed tears many times in the past. I don't know how many times I've heard the phrase “I won't do it again, I'll do it properly next time.” Still, I loved it and forgave it.
However, when I heard those words this time, I thought, “Again... why have I believed these words until now?”
The biggest factor in deciding to get divorced was that I felt that I wasn't taken care of. My husband played freely while I was struggling with my divorce. I didn't understand that. I cried and talked to people in both families about getting divorced.
Even so, as the days go by, I still wonder if there is a way to live with this person. We've been living together for over ten years. It's like a part of my life.
However, when I think about my husband's laid-back relationship with the Yoshizane family, etc., I also think that they will only cry and be unhappy even when they are together.
Today, too, I'm at a loss because of these conflicting feelings. It's already been 2 months since I thought about it every day for a long time. I just can't decide whether to get divorced or not. I didn't see such a situation, and the Yoshizane family told me not to get involved with my family even though I wasn't prepared to get divorced.
I don't know what to do.

OK, I'll push it.

 Good evening. You've been thinking about it for two months, haven't you? I think I already have enough reasons why it's better to get divorced and why I want to stay together.

So let me dare to push it.

Let's get divorced.

How did you feel now after being told by an unknown monk...?

“Yes, that's true,” did the load on your shoulders drop a little bit.
Or, “No, don't say it so easily. Did something repulsive come out, saying, “I still want to live with this person.”

I can't decide on a divorce. What's more, I don't think it's possible to judge the couple's ten years with just this many sentences.
However, if you can't decide even after thinking about the same material for two months, one way is to look at how your heart moves when someone pushes you to one side.

You wrote, “The biggest factor was that I felt that I wasn't being taken care of.” On the other hand, the husband is also described as “a part of my life.” Both of those two are probably who you are now. It's not that you can't decide because either one is a lie; you can't decide because both are true.

So now, take a look at the feelings that came out when they said, “Let's get divorced.”

If you think “I don't like it,” then “what do I want to protect?”
If you feel “relieved,” then “what did I want to be freed from?”

There may be slight expressions of your own wishes that you couldn't see just by thinking about “should you or should you not get divorced” for two months.

One last time. I'm not making the conclusion that “we should get divorced.”

I've just pushed it a little bit.
Please take a look at the direction of your own heart that moved at that time.

At the crossroads of life, work hard to make decisions

Mr. Kuchipachi, please contact us.

My husband's debts have been discovered, and I'm thinking about getting divorced.

I love women, gambling, and alcohol.

he's a typical... husband.

But I like my husband, and the relationship continues to rot...

This is all about the two of them, so there's nothing we can do about it.

This is because there are people who are unhappy when they are unhappy.

There are types of people who don't control their mind, go ahead on their own and become steeped in unhappiness.

What's more, if we've been together for ten years, it's probably even better...

But if it interferes with Kuchipashi-san's life or lifestyle,

That's a different story.

If you can't make a living, you also have to borrow help from others.

If you decide to stand up alone, please email Hasunoha again.

A lot of people are supporting you.

Please do your best and make up your mind.

Isn't it possible to take a step forward due to other reasons? I'm on your side, please rely on me

Why do you have to be so despised and hurt? Whether I have a family or a husband by my side, the fact that I'm not taken care of is the saddest and loneliest thing...

You've been alone in your arms the whole time, and you've been crying, haven't you? Over and over again. There's nothing so pathetic and miserable, is it? it's frustrating, isn't it? it must be unforgivable.

Was your love for him the only thing you couldn't break up with?
Isn't it because I didn't want to deny myself that I had followed my husband up to this point, I didn't want to say I hadn't spent time, I'm worried about the future, and I'm afraid of letting go of the existence that has become my family?
Rather than forgiving my husband, I think I've put a lid on my heart so as not to look at it, not get hurt, and not make waves.

Numerous betrayals and infidelity from a husband are reasons for divorce.
