Divorce is second highest on the Holmes and Rahe stress scale - right beneath the death of a spouse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmes_and_Rahe_stress_scale#Adults
So things may be bad, but they can always get worse. If there's any hope of salvaging the relationship for the long term I think you should try to do so. Good relationships require a lot of tolerance and the ability to compromise by both parties, and the ability to forgive minor slights. That said, you did marry quite young - many would say too young, so your situation and your desire for a fresh start is understandable. https://
It's not so hard.

Also, not divorcing can be more stressful and depressing, but spread out over the rest of your life! |
