What’s the best course of action when you realize, two weeks after saying “I do”, that you’ve made the biggest mistake of your life?

Good question Jan – and one I know the answer to because this is a mistake I made at least once if not three times.

LEAVE!

Get out as fast as your legs can carry you. Don’t worry where you will go – head to a friend or family member’s house and call a divorce lawyer ASAP.

This is especially important if you have children, as you and I both know all too well.

If you don’t leave immediately it takes on average about 3 to 5 years (based on a Five Husbands Experience (TM) statistical analysis) of pure unadulterated misery before you will be forced to do what you should have done in the first place.

Don’t worry about embarrassment – chances are your friends and family already are talking behind your back about what a loser he is and questioning your sanity. Remember Britney Spears, Dennis Rodman, Carmen Electra, Liz Taylor, Renee Zellwiger and Cher paved the way for your quick retreat. Follow their example; except in Britney’s case – only follow her example as to her quickie Vegas marriage/divorce.

Also – before you leave send him somewhere on an errand and pack up all your things – including your wedding gifts and money. After you leave don’t take his calls, don’t take his mother’s calls, don’t take your mother’s calls – unless she is offering you money to divorce him.

You have nothing to win by staying and everything to lose.
