I'm 21 and have been married for close to 2 years. I've been with only one guy before my husband, and have never lived on my own. I am now in a situation where I can support myself, and feel as though I could be missing out on a lot of important life experiences.

My husband is a great guy. He's not abusive, or a druggie. And I always told myself that my marriage would be different. (Divorces=parents, sister, grandparent, aunt, cousin) I don't want to make the biggest mistake of my life.

How do I know what to do?

Simple. Don't worry about what you'll miss. Focus your attentions on helping your husband build a life that you both enjoy, and as a team work together to make goals and plans on how o get what you want. A couple that has a commitment and good communication skills will go far in finding happiness and fulfilment.

Can you tell us more precisely what "important life experiences" you have in mind?

I personally don't think that being married prevents you from experiencing anything important...

I do not understand why you feel that you must divorce to experience life. Are you not happy with your husband? I am divorcing purely because I know I am with the wrong man but before you make such a decision I would take a look at your marriage and attempt to correct whatever it is that does not feel right. The grass often looks greener and this is not always the case maybe your husband would like to experience these things with you?

Lots of questions and soul searching there is no easy answer and you will never be 100% sure just take your time and do what is right for you!
