Jennifer Nagy: Is It Easier To Deal With Divorce When You Made The Choice To Leave?: Unlike many divorcing couples, I had the perfect life and the perfect relationship. I lived in a condo on the beach, had a great career and a kind and patient husband. I had friends, money to spend and security. The only thing that I didn't have was happiness. I didn't feel fulfilled by my life, not because my relationship was lacking, but because I didn't know myself. I didn't feel that I had been an active participant in creating my life, so I wasn't able to feel satisfaction in what I had achieved.

During the nine years we were together, I tried everything to remedy my happiness "issue." Although some changes would bring temporary happiness, it would eventually slip away and I would once again feel empty and sad. Finally, I made the difficult decision to return to my hometown alone and start my life over.
