I was totally devastated, I know we were having problems but I thought we could work it out. We even tried conseling but that made it worse. And the thing that was really bad was that there were three kids involved. Now looking back some 20 years later, she did me the biggest favor of my life. She is working on husband #4, I was #2. The great thing is I am very close with all 3 kids one is my daughter the other 2 are her kids from husband #1.
I am single and very happy.

I haven't even filed yet, but I think about the years wasted. How it went from something so beautiful to.... this. All the crap I have tolerated from his ex-wife and mother. The fact that I can count the romantic things he's done on one hand. Why was I so blind as to not see this coming? Does he know or even care that I am so empty and sad? Will we be able to just call it quits or do we have to drag it out and fling mud and call names? Stuff like that

A lot of regret that this marriage was not a "forever thing". Although it did last 25 years, I had hoped it would last a lifetime. I thought about what I could have done better and why it failed. All very sad things.

that it was the end of my marriage, and that there was nothing i could do to stop it, even if i wanted to. i was fearful, didn't know what was ahead of me, my self worth was damaged, as well as my confidence in myself. i felt a deep sense of loss, of a man i truly loved, but was unable to convince. for a long while i was unable to see the truth, didn't want to give up on a life that didn't work anymore. but eventually i realized if i did not face reality i could never move past this, and reach the level of consciousness i needed to evolve and make the changes i needed to, so reluctantly i had to make the choice to give up what wasn't really good for me.

i was sad because i new that he would never come home to me again but at the same time i was happy because i knew that for the most part all of the arguing was finally over. and i could live my life how i wanted to and not how he wanted me to.

I would have no more stress and no more abuse. I could finally live my life the way that I wanted to. I was finally being released from prison.

Finally.....now I can breath again.
And although I wasn't sad about my connection to "him" being over, I was sad that my marriage had failed. After all at one time he was my best friend.

I felt relief, calm, and finally at peace, and a lot less stress!
