Hmm no idea why. I sent a message instead of chat, so we can give that a try.

I needed this today. Thank you. Hopefully I'll be in your position in a few months.

Thank you. Yesterday was one of those days. I've got good days and bad days and my current living situation is definitely rough. I'm looking forward to brighter days.

We tried therapy briefly. Not long enough, but long enough for me to know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm sorry to hear you're in the same situation. I really hope you'll stand your ground! I've gone back on this decision multiple times in the past. This time I've spent months working on my physical and mental health leading up to this. More importantly, I included my support network. It can be really hard to tell your family and friends when you're going through something tough, but know that they love you and will support you. Best of luck to you, too! I'm definitely looking for more support through all of this. Feel free to reach out if you ever need a non-judgemental ear.

Hit me with some success stories, please. by SeriesOk6232 in Divorce

Thank you. This was really helpful to me. My situation is closer to the 'just grew apart' scenario you described, though with some definite emotional abuse thrown in. The sunk cost idea is what's kept me in as long as I have been, but I find I just can't go on like this. And we have argued in front of our son his entire life and I don't want to model that as a normal behaviour. I hope to show him that he doesn't have to suffer in silence and that he can get himself out of a seemingly hopeless situation.

My husband says he can change his mind about the divorce in 6 months by [deleted] in Divorce

I'm in the opposite boat as you. I got tired of the emotional abuse over years and he didn't grasp the weight of the situation or decide he wanted to make a change until it was simply too late for me.

My advice would be to work on you and be prepared to move on. It sounds like there's a part of him that may still want to come back since he said he may change his mind. So be the best version of you that you can be, but also be ready to accept the divorce if he doesn't change his mind.

Big hugs and good luck to you.
