What should I do about my desire to divorce my husband due to years of misery?

"If your marriage is a continuous source of misery, recognize that it is not a sacred bond but a neurotic attachment; sometimes, the most spiritual act is to free yourself from what no longer serves your joy."
According to Osho, if your marriage has been almost entirely misery for years, leave it—sooner is better. Marriage is a mix of joy and pain; if it’s roughly fifty–fifty, stay, but a hundred-percent misery is neurotic. Don’t hide behind God or ideals: God isn’t a sadist. If joy never happened, the 'divorce' merely acknowledges no real marriage existed.
If your marriage is only making you suffer, it’s okay to leave—don’t stay from religious guilt; choose some real joy in life.

- Stops suffering from becoming a life-long habit.
- Reclaims time and energy for growth, love, and clarity.
- Replaces guilt-based obedience with honest joy-versus-misery assessment.
