I think it's okay to allow an unhappy marriage to motivate positive change in your life. If I'm completely honest with myself, I think part of what got me on the computer programming path 4 years ago was how unhappy I already was in my marriage then. To be fair to myself, I had mini attempts to restart before that, it was hardly the first. But it's the one that succeeded, and I wonder how much of the reason it's was the extra determination of knowing I had to get my s*** together or move back in with my parents if my marriage imploded. The only reason I have my current job is because I fired up my LinkedIn trying to move back to California post divorce. something like a divorce can be the catalyst for a much-needed changes, known or unknown. This was voice to text, sorry if it's garbage.
