If you ahve recently undergone a divorce, you might be shocked when you are confiding your sense of loss to a friend, who then turns to you, and simpers. "just get over it". Quite frankly, its unrealistic for any person who has undergone a trauma to simply "get over it!"

i understand that you might be in pain still and that you're still in the proces of acceptance about the fate of your marriage. but for most of us, who had absolutely wanted it, getting over is the easiest. there maybe some regret when it comes to children, family and culture, but hey, as in my case, it's my life, and the life of my children, and life's too short to be in such a terrible union. we also deserve to be happier and i'm chasing that joy

I am separated right now, but we were married in the Philippines and is now living in US. Maybe in our case annulment is better. Sigh... I myself is over it as of now. But part of me is bothered because of my granparents and I am raised to be a catholic by a very religious family (I still dont know how to open it up to my grandparents, my parent knew about it already). BUt I don't know If I am right, when I graduate in college I read something about separation in the bible. I just cant really remember it clearly

It depends on the situation. There are several reasons to get a divorce and many of them are reasons that actually benefit you. It also depends on how you define recently and what you're complaining about. Maybe you do just need to get over it, or maybe you need to talk to someone who can understand your position better. Without more information, I can't tell you for sure.
