How do I know if I'm making the right decision leaving my marriage?

Mirabai knew something about certainty—she left everything conventional behind because staying felt like suffocation. But she didn't decide in a moment of rage. She examined her heart, over and over, until the truth became undeniable. You don't need perfect clarity. You need honest answers to hard questions: Am I staying because I love this person, or because I'm afraid of being alone? Have I actually tried to change things, or am I just exhausted? Can I imagine a future here that feels like living, not surviving? The examined heart—that's what matters. Sit with yourself without judgment. Maybe write what you're really feeling, not what you think you should feel. Talk to someone who won't tell you what to do. Notice what comes up repeatedly. Fear and doubt are normal; they don't mean you're wrong. But if there's a quiet, persistent knowing underneath everything, that's worth listening to. You won't have 100% certainty. Humans don't get that. What you can have is clarity about your own needs, your own non-negotiables, your own capacity. That's enough to make a real decision—not a perfect one, but one that's truly yours.
