Divorce is supposed to be for life – but what if you end up regretting it?

It’s more common than you might imagine to have second thoughts about ending your marriage, according to a former high court judge, Sir Paul Coleridge. He said that many people who go their separate ways wish they had stayed together after a few years of living apart.

It’s an idea that’s backed up by research. A study by the law firm Seddons found that 22% of those who had divorced wished they hadn’t done so.

We want to hear from people in the same boat. Why do you regret your divorce? What did you learn afterwards? Did you try to make another go of it? Or was your divorce, in retrospect, for the best, an experience which changed your life for the better? Share your stories by filling in our form below.
