Depending on your viewpoint and depending on the circumstances, divorce may be both; the best and the worst thing that has ever happened in your life. It can be the best when it is an end to a physical or mental torture from one of the partners, or when you simply outgrow the marriage and you decide you want something else in your life. The worst thing is when it happens after a long and happy marriage because one partner has stopped loving another or found a new lover.
