When it comes to divorce, you have to weigh the costs and the alternatives. Costs include: emotional consequences, alienation from former spouse, loss of property/assets (depending on your state), less future earning potential, religious and social consequences, etc. Alternatives include: possible future happiness, possible future relationships with others, personal freedom, etc. You get the picture, I hope. If the costs are high and alternatives are low, people in that case usually don't divorce. If the costs are low and alternatives are high, people in that case usually opt for divorce. Based on what you've said here, it sounds as if you fall into the second category. I would say you should consider it; divorce may be difficult in the short run, but sometimes in the long run it's the best thing to do. If you are truly unhappy, don't spend the rest of your life being unhappy. Fix the situation.
