I feel personally attacked

What happened to my country

That's a really great question

Thanks for your perspective.

I didn't mean I want to have a bad exchange, but I think more business like and transactional.

I'm so sorry that sounds really hard.

I think the best thing we can do is remember we're not "the problem" but instead we are whole persons who have our own valid feelings, beliefs and values.

Good luck however it goes for you - you can heal in time and with effort, and the best thing one can do is to always let our kids know, see, and feel, that we love them

I'm sorry and I had thought that too. I'm my case, I also ignored red flags. I also ignored that I'd tried several times to end it, but listened to counsel of others who convinced me to tough it out and try to work on things. I thought man I'm killing it!

We had our first post marriage blow up in an uncomfortable loud shouting match at our fancy Maui luau.

"We can keep trying"

Even now, while we're trying to work out her plan to leave, and how to tell our 6 year old that we hope that just before his birthday the apartment will become available. The current estimate says 3 days before.

Imagine being 6, at a "party"surrounded by your friends, and how it will feel that your parents both want to be there, and also don't want to both be there when you get home.

But our current situation creates fights. Neither Mom or Dad are getting what they need from each other. I can't help but feel it's a selfish attitude and choice - but it also isn't

If only I'd been more selfish earlier I could've avoided it all

Yes thank you. I'm not totally alone, but the person I most want to help me is the same person.. old habits I guess

May of 2012. I wasn't certain I should propose. I did it, she said yes. We've been married 10 years and are beginning the process of divorce. We have two young boys together. If I could take it all back and spare the hurt, both before, and after, I would

This is timely for me

The party system is at the root.. That and megalomania

I've had almost no luck convincing people to try something else.. hard to overcome the momentum and the "but everyone I know is on that one"
