Yes I think you were perhaps a bit hasty - cheaper to stay married than get divorced, give it another 36 years and see how you feel ;)

We had a fairly small wedding in Ireland with just close friends and family - around 25 people and it cost us around £3k if I remember correctly (in 2001).
My dad’s wedding present to us was a big party in a hotel near us when we were back in England for a wider circle of friends and acquaintances. I reckon that cost him more than the actual wedding!
Our honeymoon was a long weekend at a posh hotel in Derbyshire because, after the cost of the wedding and the fact that we’d just bought a house, that was all we could afford. Still haven’t done our ‘proper’ honeymoon yet but are thinking that could be an occasion for our 20th wedding anniversary.
30 blissful years.... then I met the missus !
A few nodding heads to that one Grant, me thinks . An old joke but still knocks it out the park in my book :)
My father offered me only two pieces of advice about women.
1) Marry a wealthy woman - you can always learn to love them and however it works out you've always got the money. (My mother's family were so poor they got handouts from church mice so presumably this was an insight he had only gained after it was too late).
2) All women secretly want to be Audrey Hepburn (which may be a bit out of date now and I never really figured out how that information might be useful in any case).
I hope you know that even when divorced , if your ex spouse has unpaid debts then those creditors can pursue you for that debt, yep even after 18 years separated. You need to get a separate final financial legal settlement on top of the divorce to be safe from this......
